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.

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. |

| But is it true that certain internet service providers can block file sharing, there is a thread that tells the ones are ok such as V21, and Tiscali for instance but there isnt one that tells you the ones, if this is true, that will not allow file sharing. As i have said i was with Tiscali and i had no problems with Limewire, or any torrent download software tools such as Azureus. Im with Euro1net now but since connection i cannot download from any file sharing programs. I can download directly from the internet however, such as any peices of software that you dont need to go through any file sharing software packages such as Limewire, Kazaa or any torrent programs. If it is the case that certain ISP'S can block file sharing without informing you i would like to change my ISP. |

| this is how I undertand it. Yes an ISP can block/restrict certain ports if they want. You would need to contact your ISP and ask if they are blocking the port you are using for LW. Tools options advanced, firewall configurtion, listen on port it should have 6346 entered. That is the port number you need to ask if they are blocking. I'm not sure about your particular ISP as I live in another Country. One of the experts here may be able to better answer your question, as this subject is a little beyond my knowledge other than what I have already said here. |

| something else you could do is this. In LimeWire go to tools options bug reports, and click on view examples. You should be able to copy and then paste the result back here in a post. The experts would then be able to view it for any problems with your system, and give you better help and answers than I have. |

| You should be able to. I'll try and explain how. Do the Bug Report again. When the results come up move your pointer to the top of the report text. Once there left click and hold while you drag the pointer accross and down the page. It should start to highlight the info in blue. At the bottom of the document realease. Put the pointer over the highlighted blue area. right click once. A menu should come up select copy. It should copy the page. Come back here and start a post. Place the pointer in the post area and Right click the mouse once a menu should come up. Select paste the informatiom you just copied should be in the post now.
