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.

It must be the QLD heat! lol I wonder if it's a Java display issue. Go to menu bar, View>Hide>Connections. Then go back & choose Show Connections. Is the window still blank? Oh hang on, your connection bars are red. Are they still red?

Was there anything you did with LW before it happened (before the bars turned red)?
I've never heard of that before! AFAIK But UP's are required for getting connected to the net. I'm not sure how important their role is after that other than filtering traffic.

Hello LOTR, thanks for the reply, I had about 4 programs running, itunes and a few others and when I went to go back into lw the firewall/internet warning popped up, thats it, but now I've shut it down and reopened it and its back to normal....
I was dl a mp3 still up in the high 20s while it was doing it , which is slower than what I was getting earlier....

I don't know if this helps but I have found that LW does not like sharing my computer over long periods with other running programs. The internet connection changes from TurboCharged Blue to Disconnected Red, even though the shared files continue to be uploaded (it's my downloads that have discontinued).

However, I must admit, I usually find this out after I've got home from work so I have no idea when this change occurred.

So now, whenever I do a long download/upload session, I try to make sure that the only other thing that runs when LW Pro is active is PeerGuardian.

I use multiple applications all the time, but if it's going to affect things, it's generally my router. My computer loses communication channels with the router. Ouch when that happens to put it lightly. As it may also mean a reboot of the computer on occasions. Luckily it hasn't happened for some time. But yes, I agree UKBob, this may contribute toward this scenario. I guess dependent upon computer config, abilities, etc.

I do all types of video rendering, editing, audio equivalent, or having image manipulative or vector programs running. As well as browser, perhaps windows running on Virtual PC simultaneously, burning, & maybe OS 9 running at the same time as OS X & windows, etc.

The only time I have noticed this happen is when a large (e.x. 500mb) file is finished downloading and then LW is verifying it. Usually during the process of verifying large files I can't use any other programs or it looks like my 3Ghz P4 is running on a 386! So I just wait it out and it eventually finishes after my DRAM has been scrubbed clean and most other programs on my computer are recovering from the havok I notice that my connection (blue bars) have all gone red. I check the connection's tab and there are no connections to the network plus if I had 9 hosts while downloading a file, I would end up with 2 or 3 and this would be the case with most of the files I was downloading at the time of verifying.

If I'm writing in Word I try and make sure I save my work before LW verifies files because sometimes other program (that aren't internet oriented) will freeze. Also my MSN Messenger will disconnect during this process too at times. I really don't understand the verifying feature as with other P2P programs just let you know you're done and that's that! I assume it's checking for some corruption in the file that could have happened while downloading but I'd rather have the option to not have it verify files over 150mb as it seems at this stage that it effects connection and program stability issues. Or perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I typically only have about 150mb of available ram at the time. I monitor my available ram in my system tray and notice that this verifying procedure eats it all up. The same as with when you're building your library with large files. I just bite my tongue and hope everything survives the process, lol!
