Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

For view options you do just that. Go to LW's menu & View & Show/Hide. Here you'll see Library window etc.
I'm not sure why you were so concerned about people browsing your shared folders. They're there for sharing aren't they? Only share files you want to share. Your shared folders are listed in your Tools-Options-Sharing. These folders can be added or deleted anytime from the list using this Sharing option preferences window.
The only files you can view in your LW library window are ones you share & your incomplete folder. If you wish to have your LW dwnld folder listed in the library you'll need to share it. Click here for instructions & sample image

By the way, the new beta versions of LW by default have a Saved files folder listed in the LW Library window. Which is equivalent of what you want. So then you can open your dwnld folder simly by using the Explore/browse button from the Lib window.

There's no specific way, but the best way is to turn off the Chat function. ie: Tools>Options>Chat & uncheck the optionn box for enable chat. I'm not so sure your tech guy is really in knowledge of p2p technology. But anyway, that's the best way to stop browsing.

By the way you should have firewall, antivirus, adware, & spyware apps alongside your computer always to protect you. On windows anyway. If you need any links to any just ask.

Gang...

There is really only one thing to be worried about re: Allowing File Browsing -

If you have a slow connection and/or you are sharing a large number of files at the same time, those 'Browsers' will be consuming potentially large chunky bits of your available bandwidth.

In other words, allowing Browsing will inevitably reduce your file transfer rate unless you have a big fat connection or are sharing very few files (as any Responsible Ultrapeer would do !).


Where is the other risk associated with Browse Files that does not also occur normally within seconds of going on line ?

I believe the amount of bandwidth that will be dedicated to file browsing is limited in most apps.

Enter your email pass here: http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...pro_lookup.jsp
By the way, if you're going to upgrade, may I recommend the LW 4.1.10 beta which is very good (these betas have been very reliable!) & you can find those at the bottom of your personal dwnld page for the beta pro or otherwise: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/beta.shtml
Your LW Prefs folder which you need to delete is called .limewire & is found here: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire or use your search engine to find it.

Sorry I was unaware the new version had officially been released. It was just released in the last day/2 to my knowledge. I haven't tried out the new version so I can't tell you the difference. Generally the beta uses the latest ideas. The betas for version 4 have been very good in my experience.
