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.

Angry I keep getting kicked out of LimeWire

I'm currently running LimeWire 4.2.6 Pro on a 576kbps dsl connection, now my problem is with this Pro version (the free version worked fine); I will have LimeWire up and running everything is fine, then suddenly it will just close the window.

As I download a lot of large MPG (200MB+) files this can get highly annoying as one minute I'll be downloading at 60kbps then suddenly it shuts down, upon restarting LimeWire I frequently find myself at the back of a queue or downloading at 1 or 2 kbps.

Now I never had this problem with the free version and all the config settings are exactly the same, has anybody else come across this problem or am I just special?

P.S. When LimeWire shuts down the intenet connection stays open and I do not have any problems with other software, and whilst downloading I turn off my Firewall.

P.P.S. PC Is 2.4Ghz Celeron (d) 512Mb RAM, 256Mb Radeon 9200,

Try Fixes for Limewire & see if it helps.

By the way, let LW settle down before you jump in & start searching, etc. Give it time to settle. This may take 10 or 20 or more mins depending on how many incomplete & shared files you have.

Also don't use the resume function too many files. This will put stress on both LW & your comp.

By the way, do you really need SP2? SP2 reduces simultaneous connections. It's intended for major networks & busineses.

I do need service pack 2, there are USB drivers in it for my motherboard, which the manufacturer did not provide downloading these drivers from the website is a no go as the ASUS site is as much use as a chocolate fireguard!

Tried the fixes for LimeWire, got the old "This page cannot be displayed" message.

I do allow LimeWire to "settle-down" before I use it, there is just no real pattern to the problem; it can shutdown after 5 seconds or after an hour and a half!

Do you run as an ultrapeer. For the time being turn this off. Tools>Options>Speed & tick Disable UP capabilites & press the Apply button. Also reduce your uploads to about 80%. See if that makes any difference.

Have carried out all of the above, I'm not an ultrapeer and have reduced download to 75%. Still having the same problem.

I'm at the end of my day, might I just suggest something very basic. Do a system overhaul. Completely check it over & clean it up. Defrag your HDD, etc.

Don't run 2 p2p apps simultaneously.

Close any LW windows you're not in need of. eg: just keep your search window open. Set downlds to auto-clear at completion. mTry not to use LW's media player (at least for now.) Don't run too many other apps ( at least for now.)

I can't believe you asked him if he really needs SP2. Everybody should have SP2 installed. Your going against the grain if you don't. SP2 is also for home users. Microsoft preaches everybody to install it whether your a business or home user.

Just to let you know, I also get this same problem in the free version of Limewire 4.2.6. It is quite annoying.
