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.

If people are getting really slow uploads from you, you can try reducing your number of upload slots & number of simultaneous uploads per host. Or maybe play around with your upload bandwidth. This thread has lots of tips for setting up LW well

Before you follow those steps. Think. F.i. blocking 192.168.*.* would be blocking you from people like me, who are behind a router and have good connections and premium content for uploading. Didn't read rest of the thread. Pissed me of too much

sleepless, that thread's just a guide & there's more to it than the first page! Nobody's telling General Lee to slavishly follow all the advice in that first post, just some info to read. I've read it & I didn't go & block certain IP ranges

Just a little bit further on in that thread, someone comes along & explains that blocking those hosts is not such a good idea.

Yea, sleepless is right: that second thread has some really old info, which was of limited use 4 years ago back in 2002.

Today, with UPnP and all the other coding that works around firewalls, there is no advantage to blocking LAN IP's (the the 10.0's and 192.'s)

AFAIK people who have that & 10. ip's are people who aren't properly configured or/& on networks. So yes, you can still connect to them & downld from them. But impossible to direct connect to them. These days downlding from them is not a problem. I don't block those ip's & have downlded from them many, many a time. Sleepless is it possible for you to configure your system a little better? I presume you don't get a brick wall in front of the blue world firewall icon at the bottom of LW's interface? It may not even be a big issue. But I'd like to explore your options.

I'm sorry if you got offended Birdy. This was not an attack against you in any way.

This was an attack against that really outdated thread. Someone should really look into that. This forum is suppose to help people. As all regular users of this forum know, you too, is that the majority of the users coming on here with problems do not want to read. They want answers right away and when you point them to page after page of (in my mind) useless reading, except for maybe the end. How far do you think they will read ?

I have the router from hell. It's a SMC 7204BRA and have tried for hours configureing it with no luck. I even managed to block myself from accesing it in the end. I even tried to get ISP techsupport to configure it for me. They had no luck either, so I'm kinda out of ideas

i do get that brickwall, but still people upload from me just fine. Even files that only I have (I'm pretty sure) I use UPnP to connect and it seems to be working allright. Not perfect though and I would really like to change it but can't seem to find that extra cash I need

That's ok, if people are uploading from you.
FYI Port forwarding for SMC 7204BRA http://www.portforward.com/english/r...A/Limewire.htm But if you can't access it anymore.

And you're right, I should change the links to that thread/older post.
