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. |

 First, reduce the number of pending DownLoads... What connection 'speed' do you have for Down and Up ? The wise way to find your optimum configurations for the number of DownLoad and Upload slots is to start with the minimum and, with careful observation over a 'generous' period of time, increase the number of slots... SLOWLY... Step by step... When things slow down in regards the total number of your transfer within a period of days, you know you have gone too far and you need to reduce, slightly, the number of slots allowed. Same goes for whether you allow 'Browsing' or not and in regards to the maximum number of Queued Upload slots allowed. Start Small... Increase Slowly... Share more with 'less'... Most people are the same as you... They want the files to transfer as fast as possible and be DONE ! The only way to do that is for all people involved in p2p to use thier bandwidth properly so as to make for the fastest (shortest overall time) successful file transfer. Overall numbers of 'active' downloads/uploads mean nothing. Only completed transfers are important. The less 'clock time' involved means the less 'exposure' to possible failure. Make any sense ? btw... Frequent or overuse of the Force Resume or Search or Find More Sources functions will also slow not only you but the network as well... It is considered very bad behaviour.

 Was I scammed? Well I have just brought the limewire pro after trying out the lite version. It says the pro version will be turbocharged downloads, havent found any yet? What is the go? edit On the pro version it does not show any search results, and the lite version does, hmm something wrong here? On the pro version I cant find any files when I search, on the lite version I found plenty of files, again something wrong here? verdict ok for the above problem, it seems whenever I try to perform a search it just clears what I am searching for which is why I do not get any results. Can anyone help? Please keep your posts on one topic to one thread. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...?s=&forumid=29 Last edited by Lord of the Rings; December 16th, 2004 at 10:32 PM. |

| I am in the same sort of situation, but my newly paid for limewire pro wont actually show any search results. When I type in something to search then press the search button it just resets the field and nothing is searched. Was I ripped off? |

| Berntsen...: Try to manually search your sources, not overdo using Resume funtion. Using the Resume funtion on all or most of your files will result in them queuing for much, much longer periods & can give LW's connection quality problems. Doing a search is much more effective & healthier for LW. WastedMyMoney: There's a couple of possible reasons for your problem. 1. Did you purchase the legitimate version of LW from here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml or did you pay someone else for your version? LW Pro costs $18.88 2. Update your Java: Java 1.4.2 (click on link) 3. Make sure you're connected. Allow LW some time to settle down after opening. Do this test after LW's been on for 30 mins: Bug Report instructions & sample image If it's False you have a connection problem. 4. Here's some hints: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities. |

| Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version, 2. What firewalls you have, 3. ram, 4. HDD space available, 5. Connection type, 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers, 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? These details are vital if you want us to find out what your problem is. |

| OS = XP Home Version 2002 SP 1 Firewalls = None RAM = 512mb HDD Space = 120gb Connection = DSL (512/256) DSL Modem = D-Link DSL-302G, no router Connecting From = Home |

| There's several steps you will need to go thru to solve your problem & get a healthy operation for LW. 1. With XP you will have XP's own firewall. Whether it's turned on or off it should be configured to allow both LW & Java (javaw) access: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml Also your D-Link modem will have an internal type of firewall called NAT. you will need to forward a port to allow LW full (not just partial) access. 2. Make sure you set up a Static IP Address 1st! 3. Port Forwarding for the Dlink DSL-302G & use port 6346 4. Within LW force IP: Force IP instructions & sample image If you do all these things 'correctly' you should find your problems have disappeared & a healthy connection. Refere back to the previous post to update Java & follow the optimisation hints. Good luck. |
