Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

What about on your external drive ?
Sorry, I actually am assuming that you have checked there, but...

Checked all drives and the two files are missing. Does this mean that LW can only hash and memorise up to a certain size of total files? This is an important issue for the future as I can't imagine I am the only person slowly ripping all their music partly as backup, partly because I'm anally retentive but mainly to allow me to access via my iPod. It also allows me to set up playlists that can be set to play for hours through my home on iTunes. These are the primary reasons for ripping but once done then I'm happy to share. I would imagine this would be the same for many people. My total collection will be less than 100gb but then I will start on vinyl which may add a few more gbs! LW will need to take this development into account in the future - not just because of me as I have no relevance at all but I would guess I'm not alone in doing this.

The two files are in the LimeWire Folder inside the Preferences Folder inside the Library Folder of your home directory. Make sure these folders are writeable by you. I have occasionally seen these folders owned by root or similar bad things, this could prevent LimeWire from storing these files on shutdown.

Thanks jum--so that's how you get that info!

Open Terminal (in the Utilities folder)
Type "ls -la ~/Library/Preferences/LimeWire/" into the terminal window and hit return.

Correct?

-rw-r--r-- 1 stief staff 201631 Mar 3 16:40 fileurns.bak
-rw-r--r-- 1 stief staff 202420 Mar 15 07:25 fileurns.cache

[I--so that's why my fileurns.bak hasn't changed its date modified! I've been using the official build on this computer, and your CVS build on the other.]

Yep, this how to get that info on a Unix shell. And yes, the official version does not know about this filurns.bak thing.

Please remember I am using a Mac so I don't normally need to understand how it works - it just works.
In prefs I have
MANIFEST.MF
limewirePro_theme.lwtp
limewirePro_theme
windows_theme.lwtp
windows_theme
default_osx_theme
default_osx_theme.lwtp
default_theme.lwtp
default_theme
black_theme
black_theme.lwtp
xml
update.xml
themes
tables.props
questions.props
public.key
META-INF
limewire.props
installation.props
gnutella.net
fileurns.cache
Display.props
createtimes.cache
bugs.data
Cookies.dat

Does this make sense? Would it be easier if I just uninstalled and reinstalled? If so how do I do this on the Mac? I usually drag and drop into the trash.

I feel I am getting out of my depth here!

So you have a fileurns.cache there! Did LimeWire indeed do hash all files to the end before you did quit it?

Yes... above he mentions that he ran the full files through to a completion of hashing.
