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.

Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7.

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. |

 Here is this print screen of the top movers on Download.com Going up: .Morpheus Running on their home-brewed NEOnet network, this file-sharing veteran surges to No. 6. Going Down: LimeWire Slipping to No. 7 after several weeks at No. 3, this popular Gnutella client is quickly losing traction.  |

| LW 4.2.6 was a signaling version, meaning that all users using LW version between 3.8-4.0 were prompted to upgrade. This mean LOTS of downloads and bandwidth. LW.com cannot substain that kind of bandwidth so they used the filefront.com system to serve the downloads. Normally they used dl.com only to count the # of downloads, but the downloads themselves were coming from lw servers. Once the number of downloads decrease, they should return to dl.com (I believe). In fact, last week 1 000 000 persons downloaded the windows version of LW, a record. ciao

| et voila is 100% correct. Our servers were already maxed out before we signalled the upgrade to the rest of the network. In order to maintain a decent level of downloading speed, we had to host LimeWire elsewhere. We managed 250,000 downloads in half a day after we signalled the upgrade, and the surge is levelling off at about 2 times the normal amount of downloads. Once it goes back to a respectable level, we'll start hosting the files again. Download.com knew we delisted and why we delisted. The fact that they'd list us in the Top Movers as going down is, to put it mildly, insulting. Last edited by sberlin; December 20th, 2004 at 05:56 PM. |

| Why dont you get extra bandwidth or something, Kazaa were able to keep up at over 4,000,000 downloads at a point, same with Morpheus back in the days. I do like LimeWire and it would have been nice to see it move up to #2 as for Morpheus, the NEO NET is very good and i will continue to support them and LimeWire. Same with BearShare, they took themselves of Download.com also, why is this, it now downloads direct of BearShare.com ? |

| Zaggar: bandwidth is costly. LW could afford bigger pipes, however. Or I heard rumors auto-updates from gnutella could be integrated in LW.... Ciao

| Kazaa's installer was a tiny stub that downloaded the rest from the network. We haven't built such an installer yet -- it is very high on our list of things to do, and likely the installer for the next release will be built like that. I can't speak for BearShare, but I imagine they moved off download.com because they didn't want to show themselves as below other p2p programs in terms of downloading. Their main download is probably the Pro version, since that's a more prominent download on their main page. We would get extra bandwidth, but a higher number on download.com isn't enough justification for the cost of the bandwidth. We asked download.com if they wanted to host the files and they declined. Basically, because LimeWire is so popular, we had to delist ourselves from download.com for a short while. |

| That is nice to see LimeWire getting very popular, slowly, though it is also funny what CNET did by putting LimeWire in the "Top Movers" section even though they knew the reason, oh well s**t happens... Morpheus is getting slightly popular too as weeks go on, as people really find out the power of NEO Network. |

| Just wanted to pop back here and say we're back on download.com (most of the time -- when we see our servers getting overloaded we revert back to FileFront) -- and that is minus a day's worth of traffic. |
