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 back-up installer didn't work

Hi...
I tried the backup installer as well, and I continue to get the same error message trying to install.

Limewire 4.9.27
"This installation is corrupted. Please download and install limewire again."

It doesn't matter which I use, I keep getting the same error message...

any suggestions?
Thanks!

Default Rotten Software

I bought this wretched software less than a week ago in order to (legally) compare some lyrics for my mother in law's funeral, which is tomorrow.

I have to say that this is the most UN-USER FRIENDLY software I have ever purchased.
Nothing works.
Messages get repeated.
The programme goes round in loops.

It is so bad that my wife thinks that I am the victim of a huge SCAM whereby LimeWire take your money and nothing else happens - Except the continuous offer to upgrade to LimeWire PRO.

I have never been so badly served in my life.

Looks like some folks are having trouble here and I wanted to clarify my earlier post.
I formatted my hard drive on the computer I use at home for guitar recording and when I went to download Limewire, all that happened is this wretched online installer just sat there, for days if I let it. Doesn't seem to work too well or at all with Windows 98. Anyway, registered at this forum to vent my disgust, immediately saw this thread and downloaded the backup installer and all is well. I've used Limewire for a little over a year I guess and it seems to do pretty good.
I'm surprised so many are having trouble with it.
I just didn't want to appear that I was ungrateful or unhappy with LW.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I think you lack some basic understanding, lets break it down:

[Quote]I bought this wretched software less than a week ago in order to (legally)[ /Quote]

The LimeWire company cannot bestow on you the right to download copyright material legally, it does not pretend to or claim to do so. Only scam sites claim that once you have paid them a fee (for a non-existent membership or subscription) you can download anything, this is a LIE and part of their scam.

You have married a very wise woman, pity you were not so careful when parting with your money (you should let her take care of your finances from now on). LimeWire did not scam you the site that you foolishly chose scammed you, their the ones that got your money.

You should note that LimeWire Basic is FREE, it seems that you went to a scam site (and you probably can’t remember which site you went to), fell for their lies, threw your money away and all they gave you in return was a URL link to LW Basic.

You could try contact your CC company, tell them you were scammed and try to get your money back that way.

For the future, leave the internet shopping to your wife.




UK Bob

PS. Despite my sarcasm, I hope all goes well for tomorrow.
