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.

Default error 2, then quits

I used to have Limewire17 on my computer, then I deleted (uninstalled) the program, now I downloaded LimeWire to the same computer, my PowerBook G4 (128 MEGS). I have installed and uninstalled the program several times, because when i tried to open it doesn´t work. I went to the help menu and I gave it more memory as it`s shown there, I assigned 2048 min an 4096 max, also my virtual mem is on, but the problem is still there... the program doesn´t open, just appears the first window for a long time, then it quits giving me the message that error 2 happened... please help to solve this problem. Thanks a lot. rnoboaf@interactive.net.ec

Default type 2 error

I have found that if I increase the amout of memory available to a program I will no longer get type 2 errors. Currently I am running 1.7 on an iMac w/ 9.2.2OS . I have given Limewire 5meg of memory to use.

Angry Type 2 Errors in 2.0 with OS9.2.2

Using OS9.2.2 and both Limewire Mac 2.0 and 2.05 beta (I tried one for a few days and then the other), and having installed the latest MRJ 2.2.5 from Apple (after having no success with the 2.2.5 that is included with Limewire) I STILL get Type 2 errors. I also increased my memory allocated to Limewire to 100 mb! I even kept the About This Computer window open so I could see a spike in memory. I will say, it did something I've NEVER seen a Mac Application do... Limewire kept increasing the amount of memory it was taking. By the time it crashed with a Type 2 error again, it had allocated 149 mb to itself (49mb OVER the max limit I had set to allow it). It also had only been using a third of it when it crashed (only - LOL). So there wasn't any sort of spike in memory that went over the limit.

There is something *very* wrong with an application that continues to take more and more memory, even past the amount that is allocated to it. I can only imagine how this impacts the system and other applications overall. I hope that this is something Limewire plans to improve. Until then, I'm going to go back to the 1.8c I found a link to on this forum.

LimeWire does use a lot of memory. It will immediately want to grab about 30 megs since MRJ wants that much. Then I'll notice as time goes by the LimeWire memory usage continues to increase at least past 50 megs until my memory is so fragmented I need to restart LimeWire. I have 192 megs of RAM. Turning on virtual memory might reduce memory usage.

Also, LimeWire and many other apps will as necessary grab temporary memory that is not specifically assigned to it in Get Info. Applications can use this special memory to open really large documents without having to change memory settings. When the document is closed the memory needs be released. LimeWire might be opening large documents for uploads and downloads but when the transfers are done or whatever it is doing the temporary memory needs to be released.

This problem in general is also called a memory leak, when an application doesn't give back memory that it no longer needs. Memory leaks prevent LimeWire from running for long periods of time without restarting.

I noticed for LimeWire that when I increase the memory allocation in Get Info the added amount is assigned to the application but it isn't actually used (at least right away). The added memory functions more as a buffer.

Default A Temporary Fix

I went back to Limewire 1.8c Mac and realized that it crashes too. However, I can keep it running virtually forever if I do not access any of the menus at the top of the screen (Apple, File, Help, etc.). It's kind of annoying but worth it. Also, Limewire 1.8c seems to allow access to FAR more files than 2.0. I wonder why the heck that is. LOL. Aren't upgrades supposed to be better? I have 2.0 on the PC laptop and 1.8c on the Mac and I get far more files on 1.8c.

According to the FAQ, this has been fixed in version 2.0 and above. Both I and my roommate can assure you it has not been fixed.

Workaround for type 2 errors, specifically menu bar crashes, is in this thread. (Click directly on the link on that page, don't copy and paste what you see).
