i think im sick
 

Im having weird issues with Lime:

Im trying to filter out certain words

I go
---TOOLS
---OPTIONS
---FILTER
and i type in words
but they still come in
Am i doing something wrong or is it not working right?
If i do wrong tell me right way
or is this sign of virus?

also when i download, the downloads dont come in at the top of the pile
ill click to download something and it will show up in the middle of stack-this is weird too and mabye virus sign?
thanks

You need to press BOTH the Apply & OK buttons for immediate effect! eg: filter>keywords & type in .exe in the add area & hit the Add button, Apply & OK & it should take immediate effect filtering out words with the extension of .exe

As for the 2nd part, in your dwnld pane, click onto the top of any of the columns & the files will be organised as such. eg: to have those that are presently dwnlding listed at the top of the list: click the Status column twice (you'll see a small arrow pointing up.) So you can organise them however you like!

WOW more and more i think i have a virus this is my third time posting a respnse and having it not go up- mabye it will work ths time


lord could you be more specific with your instructions abou the filter?
I go
--filter
--keyword

and then what? Do i put the"." before exe? where do i type exe before or after the keyword? when do i press apply? does exe go in the same line as the keyword

thankyou im not sure on the specifics

Just to save me time I've done the sample image with the mac version LW but it's the same principle. LW's menu Tools-Options-Filters & select Keyword. Then in the top available box type in .exe (no " " included!) Add them one by one!

this is exactly what i do
lets say i want the words cat, dog out

.exe
add

cat
add

dog
add

apply
ok

each word seperate
what wrong?
thankyou

Absolutely nothing! You've done it exactly to method!!! You shouldn't have any future probs with these files. Keep in mind that you can always remove these even if only temporarily as I've done from time to time.

Please don't tell me you're still having problems!? You've done everything correctly.

By filtering out exe, jpg & wmv you'll get rid of all that spam that replicates your searches. Thus saving your search energy for better things with any luck. It certainly works for me.

for some reason its still not working.

ive tried it more then once.

could the problem be that "cat" and .exe hav been entered several times?

what wrong?

(also, how many searches can i conduct at the same time)

thanks

Might be an idea just to have them added once. Are you sure you're pressing the Apply button? You can see the Apply button can't you? Sometimes it's obscured & you need to drag the window down.

If still doesn't work, perhaps your prefs are corrupted. Make a record of all your settings & then delete your prefs. Delete them by going to C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire & trashing the folder called .limewire But you'll need to re-add all your settings again if you do this.

For searching, go to LW's menu Tools-Options & Searching & Limit. You can type in the no. of simultaneous searches there. Simultaneous means as it suggests, how many you do at the same time. It doesn't matter how many previous search results you already have up. But keep in mind search results go stale after a while & also keeping many previous searches up may use up more ram.

neverending story of my problem
 

thanks for your help, and im pertebed to say i have another problem-- my files have dissapeared

I didnt want peple to browse my files, but i could not find that option in preferences so i moved all of my files from that folder to another.

whats weird is that when i download files they dont go into my library.

Instead it says Library
Incomplete

and then there is this big space. No files anywhere

Im thinking i pressed some view button by mistake
how can i get back to the library ?????

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.

please understand i dont want to stop file share i just wanna turn off the bouse feature- my computer guy says people can plant viri

how do i turn off just the"brouse files" feature ?

I think thats a "option"

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.

thanks
 

thanks for your help. I dont know how to find the limewire folder of my preferences but i thnk since im going to upgrade its not necessary.

How do i find my personal download page?

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.

Hmm. I went to my "personal" download page(for me? thanks.)
And they speak only of 4.2.2
Whats the difference between this and Beta?
thanks for the help lord

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.

hi its late i know but I wanna say thanks

Around here, when it comes to thank you posts, your last post could be considered almost early !!! ;)

Do you need the number of the bank account or do you prefer to send a cheque. ;)
