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 PRO VS Basic

Is it me or by purchasing the PRO version, there really aren't more search results? In fact nothing really seems different. I only get a few hundred results per artist and most of them are the same songs. Is the 'PRO" really any better? I feel ripped off.

Why is this a poll?!? No need for another one when there are prev polls just like it. Only fools pay for P2P. Gnutella is an open Network, you dont go any faster if you pay or use the free basic version, search results ARE the same no matter what P2P software you use. All the P2P apps use Gnutella Network, to pay for a P2P app is the most insane thing Ive ever heard of. I have never paid to use P2P andthese topics are really starting to get old now. And paying for a P2P program doesn't make downloading legal. If you want to waste your money then pay me 50 bucks and I'll give you the songs you are looking for, no? dont want to do that? Didnt think so.

I must say that in my case PRO helps a great deal, but that's maybe because I am after rarer files. Like getting 4 results all with 1 host with PRO and zero with BASIC (exept off course for the junk results and viruses) which by the way also popup using PRO

If you only search for popular stuff then there is probably not a great need for it. Using Limewire is also an art of using the right searchphrases. As time goes by you will figure out how to search

Hobo, shutup. I was merely trying to prove a point about paying for P2P. You wouldnt hand me a bundle of money for a P2P app, why hand it to someone else and I dont believe for one second that you get better speeds, or downloads because YOU CAN ONLY GO AS FAST AS YOUR ISP ALLOWS YOU TOO.

You wouldn't pay me but you'd pay Limewire that Was MY POINT, LOOK AT ALL THE SCAM SITES?!? If it wasnt for pro version, they'd be no need for scammers. Cant help it if you're that brainwashed or too stupid to figureout what I meant.

I can use Bearshare and get the same damn results.


Its a bunch of crock so the programmers can get rich off it and NO iIwill NEVER pay for it because Im not an idiot.

If I wanted to pay for music downloads I would have stayed with Napster.

Default Have you ever tried PRO

Sphinx

I have tried using BASIC on one pc, searching for something and not getting a single result. Then shut down limewire on that computer and turning on mine which I have PRO on and got two results which even downloaded from 5 hosts (maybe file was misnamed or something)

Just to test it I shut down limewire on my PC and tried the other one again. Still no result.

I have also tried BearShare Lite before and didn't like it one bit. I also tried Kaaza Lite and many others and must say that I like limewire the best.

Also there is no need to get rude, and there is nothing wrong with supporting the development of Limewire, allthough I think they made a terrible mistake with the junk-filter and some options could be better. I think that they jumped the gun with 4.10. Also the force ultrapeer status should be an option

well from my limited experience of using oth the free version and pro version of limewire i've found there is very little differance between them except that 'some' things are a little quicker to download but the speed differance is very slight but not enough to warrent paying for
