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.

wtf? is flying high
Default 20508 kb?

Why are .avi,mpg downloads stopping at 20508 KB? Is this all you can get if your not sharing enough?

OS => XP Pro
LW => 4.0.7
Connection => Cable

If the file uses multiple sources they drop off and then messages rotate b/w Waiting for busy hosts and Connecting...

I am currently sharing 68 files.

This is normal and due to many things, the user hosting the file you want temporarily queueing your file being one of the most probable.
You can start worrying that it may be abnormal if you can't seem to be able to dld at all.

lurchlunch is flying high
Default 20508

Man, I am having the same problem and I agree - wtf. I have tired everything from turning off my firewall, forcing IP addresses, etc. and I still am hitting this wall at 20508 k on EVERY file. This is not on the side of people sharing files!

Anybody with an idea of how to fix this problem, please drop a note

Try killing the dld and then resuming it from the library's Incomplete folder.
Also, this is surely not a problem of how many files you share: the leech block options that are in the Options/Preferences are inactive and do not affect a thing no matter how much you play around with them. However, don't think that uploading doesn't affect anything as if you upload you also get better speeds and search results.

Default 20505 still nothing

Hi,

I have tried killing downloads and resuming and my uploads have always been set to a high level (and i even pushed them up a notch). I've tried forcing the ip, turning off my firewall, etc. etc.

Still hitting that barrier

I don't really see how the following may have set up a barrier of sorts but try them out anyway (you never know):

-try having only one dld to see if it will progress further than 20508K

-go to Options/Preferences and take a look at how the following categories are configured: Downloads, Uploads->Basic, Uploads->Slots. Post back the results along with your connection speeds (download and upload)

I forgot to tell you to look at Bug reports and click View example, then scroll down to the part where it says Recieved incoming this session. If it says true then good. If it says false then you may have a firewall up.

Yup. Something is blocking LW: you see, it should have been true, not false.
Are you sure you don't got the XP's built-in firewall activated?
