Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Arrow How to make my file available for sharing. Please help

Hello everyone, I have a few files i want to share, but i am not able to share for some reason. I put the files in my shared folder and I clicked "share" in my library section in limewire. But when I do a personal search for these files, none of them show up. I type the same name and artist but none of my shared music comes up. Can someone please help clarify and help me make my music available. Thanks

Your own files don't show in regular search results, but they are probably available to anybody else.

Just check your Library again: shared file show in black; unshared files are in red.

After a while, you'll see the hits column count the number of times one of the words in your filenames and info matches a passing query.

Cheers

Well, Ihere's the results of a quick search:

good morning dj louie lou mp3 3,164 KB Modem GTKG

and then:
DJ LOUIE LOU- GOOD MORNING TO YOU mp3 2,826 KB Cable/DSL 69.*.*.* LIME
DJ LOUIE LOU- I HEAR MUSIC mp3 2,723 KB Cable/DSL Multiple (1) LIME
DJ LOUIE LOU- ON MY OWN mp3 1,978 KB Cable/DSL 69.*.*.* LIME

So your files were found quite quickly, and someone is using GTKG to share a larger file via modem speeds.

All 4 went to "Need more sources", so I guess the machines were busy. Still, the 69.* host was browseable (can accept incoming connections), so looks like it is set up properly

For others to find and download your files, your LimeWire needs to be connected and running.

Since yours was the host beginning with IP 69. (the rest I omitted for your privacy), you were connected at that time, but if others were downloading from you and using up all your upload slots, then that might explain why I couldn't download.

There is a special case where you can send files even if your LimeWire isn't connected to any other hosts. For example, you can email a link to your files called a magnet link (search these forums for "magnet" for the details on how to get LimeWire to make a magnet that you can send to others).

Magnet links are special, but we aren't allowed to post them in this forum. As long as your computer is connected to the internet and LimeWire is running, your LimeWire will send the file to a magnet request, even if LimeWire isn't connected to any hosts. Cool, eh?

LW just needs to be connected to other hosts in order to give replies to regular searches. I just wanted to point out that magnet requests are a little different.
