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.

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. |

| Instability Hi Well, the good news is that it's a lot worse on OS10.2.5. So, let's be constructive about your situation. Don't use 2.9.8, drop back one or two upgrades (see other threads for the addresses of older versions). This is a temporary fix because, sooner or later, the mainstream development of Limewire will start to actively discriminate against older versions but, for a while, you will find both the screen display and the system's performance to be more stable. However, you cannot use LW passively. You must be highly active to maintain a connection once you have found one that works. Be prepared to kill and restart the download from the original download list (do not allow relevant lists to drop off your system by default). If rapidly repeated requests fail, leave the incomplete file in the window and re-search for the exact file name. This will sometimes reconnect you (and sometimes to additional hosts if the file name is reasonably generic). If you can get a reconnection, always try to browse the host. If this works, subsequent download requests can then be tried between the original, the re-searched and the browsed listings. Usually, one of the three will work to restart and then maintain the download until completion. However, this is a game requiring concentration — the longer you leave the "catch" the less likely you are to achieve reconnection. Alternatively, use Acquisition until LW proper gets its act more together. |

| Good Idea....but When I say connection I mean my connection to LImewire itself. I can even connect to the program. i start it and I get a connection for a few seconds. That fails then ever once in a while i get another but that only last for a few itself. i wonder if you have another answer for that problem....thanx |

| Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by "my connection to Limewire itself". Limewire is one of the application packages through which to connect to the Gnutella network. If you mean that Limewire connects to Gnutella and then you have problems while downloading, the advice in my previous post is the correct course of action. If you mean that there is something wrong with your copy of Limewire so that it is likely to crash (whether on its own or taking the OS with it as well) your only remedy short of switching to Acquisition, is to completely strip all the existing elements of Limewire out of your system using Finder, and then reinstall a newly downloaded version (whether you decide to download the current version or an earlier one is up to you). |

| OK After upgrading to OS10.2.4, I had to go through the clean-out and reinstall sequence four times to get a version that provided a stable platform from which to access Gnutella. It was only twice for OS10.2.5 but all stability vanished with Limewire 2.9.8 until I disabled the ultrapeer option. Even then, performance was so poor that I've turned to other things until 2.3 appears when I will try it again out of interest. But, for me, the fun has rather gone out of it. |

| Acquisition As I said in my first post, the only real alternative is Acquisition. It uses the core of LW but, at present, has better outcomes. http://www.xlife.org/ |
