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.

Are you meaning the downlds are showing a message saying Aborted? If yes then see below.

It sounds to me like the files you're trying to downld are corrupt as LW detects them. And the first time you were warned about this with a popup window asking do you wish to continue the downld, you clicked "No" in answer & then ticked the "Always use this answer." You can undo that setting by going to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>View>Popups & tick the option for Revert to Default & press apply button.

Now we should find out why LW is detecting these files as corrupt. If they're video, I often still continue them as it might only be the end credits or such that can't be played. I've downlded many a video that could in fact be played.

However if it's audio downlds you're having problems with, then that's a different kettle of fish. See T3 Spammers; mp3 Bit-Rates Versus File Sizes Don't forget you can preview your audio downlds.

Also some other things to consider:

Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

Check any anti-virus & similar utilities you have to make sure they allow LW access. But yet do their job. Some utilities do in fact need permissions set in their options to allow LW access to the net.

Make sure your hard disk drive is in healthy state. Check it over with your disk & file utilities. Defragment your HDD frequently. Make sure you don't use over 90% of space.

me d is flying high
Default aborted also

today i decided to try my first video D L. the first was running at 8 hosts around 80 kbs.
the second video got to 8 hosts around 80 kbs.

i was on the moniter tab when i noticed my D L arrow was 2@352kbs. i went back to search tab, the arrows were both stuck.(the other was 6@17) my second video was aborted. i couldn't cancel, so i cleared. it went to my incompletes. the other video continued at 11kbs, but arrow was still stuck.
i went to statistics, it wasn't right, current & average weren't moving total was. i went to connections, they were still there but, 1 of 3 was incoming. i've never seen an incoming connection before.
since all was slooow, i shutdown (gracefully) re-started comp, and did a full scan. seems to be running o.k. i re-started both videos. i did check w/bitzi on both videos. neither had "junk".
both videos are 100%, no other probs w/D L.

Default aborted files

LW states that it cannot find a License to dl the file (Rush Hour). DL anyway. Yes, as its at 98% but every few mins it dies. Then I have to do it all over again.
Is there anyway one can avoid the abort?

Does it actually say Aborted? If not, cancel downld & reselect from search results. Also re-search the file & also choose Get more results so you can find more sources for it.

Yep, says Aborted. HAd already searched for more results. 116 people have it. It then dls for a few mins, then disappears from the list. I leave the aborted dl in the list, then in the search menu, I click the same file again to dl. It starts at the 56% where it is and the same thing happens over and over! If i delete the first aborted file, the new file dls from 0%..

If you want to get rid of the aborted status, revert popups to default. ie: go to tools-options-view-popups.
LW is detecting a corruption in the file because it doesn't agree with the original hash of the file when you 1st started downlding it. Question is whether it's a severe corruption or something minor. A minor corruption can mean a different id3 tag or file description. Normally LW would keep attempting to redownld the missing or corrupted part up to about 5 times before giving up. But because when you 1st received a corrupted message should you continue downlding you clicked no, & then clicked always use that answer.

Hum this is a new bug, many users in the French forum tell me about it. I have never experienced it myself, but is seems new as end of december and it happens with LW 4.12.6 and 4.13.0. The downloads abort and disappear from the download window. You have to resume them from Library but it happens often. Also, all ongoing downloads are stopping at the same time, which is weird. I'll forward LW devs to this thread because they don't read French (most of all anyway
