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.

Question resuming download

I just installed LW 2.0.2 under linux (using Sun jre 1.3.1) and i found that something strange is going on when resuming files. I had a bunch of incomplete download froom my previous installation of LW 1.8, when i find the file and click on it for downloading it again it can happen one of the following things
1) resumes the file (perfect behaviour)
2) starts downloading a new file cos of a a difference in the name (this should really be fixed! who cares about the name when the checksum is the same?)
3) overwrite the file restarting it from scratch (this just happened once but i lost 80MB of download )
4) start downloading from scratch the file *without* setting its length to zero... that means that he simmply re-writes the file and when u get to the end continue downloading the part that was missing before
I hope to have been clear.
Can anyone please explain to me what causes these (erratic imho) different behaviours?
thanks

Default Same on Mac

I get the same thin on Mac OS 9.2. 90% of the time, it starts over from scratch, and does not update the "Incomplete" files in the Library

Resume doesn't seem to work at all with anything above 1.8c. If I have an incomplete transfer with 2.0+ I have to load 1.8c so I can resume. 2.0+ will overwrite the file from the beginning even if the checksum is the same in the Incomplete folder.

Unhappy

Same problem here, running RedHat 7.2, slightly modified 2.4.7-10 kernel, ext3 fs, LimeWire 2.1.1.

The behaviour seems erratic here too; I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to find a pattern. The most common scenario is that an attempted resume will ignore the incomplete file and start over, this time storing the new download *nowhere at all*. When the new download is "done", it copies the *old* incomplete file over to the shared directory. So I'm left with an incomplete file even though I waited for the full download to complete the second time around.

Another common scenario seems to be that the resume fails and the download restarts from 0%, but when the new download reaches the size of the incomplete file, it starts adding to the end of it. Better than the scenario described above, because you actually get a complete file in the end, but still not good.

Default resuming download

I am getting the same absolute aggravating behavior in
2.1.1. This happens even when I am downloading from
the SAME JERK that keeps interrupting the download.
It most often happens when the other end kills the download.
You then get a totally dead connection and have to kill it
yourself later. If you do the kill, it will not resume where it
left off. This has happened to me repeatedly in downloading
large mpegs. It is truly aggravating as heck.
