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.

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.

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. |

 Low amount of Peer Connections Hello, I have a question regarding Peer connections. Since upgrading to 4.8.1 Pro, I can only seem to connect to 5 Peers at any one time. When I was using 4.0.8 Pro, I would get anyplace from 8 to 15. What gives? Sparhawk  |

| me too, (seconding) sorry i have no answer,..just wanted to second this complaint, because it is exactly why i came to the forums..trying to find out why connections have bombed since i began using the 4.8.1pro upgrade. a number of issues; 1.) the new upgrade NEVER sees me as an ultra peer with leaves,..alway now as leaf with the DISAPPOINTING maximum of 5 ultrapeers. 2.) returns on search results have just about HALVED!!... 3.) though i have to guess on this one, i also suspect that others are somehow similarly krippled from searching MY shared directory. on a given day..the OUTgoing files from my system have dropped to about 30% of their former lives,..and even among those the completion rate frequently suffers. (THIS is perhaps the most important factor for me,..since i do a sort of "E-infoshop" on gnutella,..making my files available for those searches is vital.) 4.) also, (last one)...this never used to happen,..but now i am constantly "reviving" the connection window,..when upon returning from some time away from the computer all but ONE connection has dropped and the others seem to be caught up in some sort of "idol" connection problem,..that is, until i have relapsed the computer,...then i get the 5 again, now counting from 0.00... aaaarrggh! i have considered downgrading back to the previous version,...or moving on to newer version when it comes. heres my thought though; i remember the pop-up message for the 4.8.1pro upgrade recommendation say specifically that this upgrade included "security features"...is THAT what has screwed this thing up?? whatever it is, the appeal of this product has run STEEPLY downhill for me since this "upgrade". help!!! (thx) |

| Ok, just downgraded to 4.0.8Pro...and immediately upon connecting...got connected to 12 Ultrapeers. Not losing connections when I drop Limewire to the taskbar and then revive it....I'm going to stick with this version, at least until somebody addresses this issue. Sparhawk |

| peer connections I too am having this problem - max 5 peers - but ONLY after i installed a router this week. (Voyager 205) Previously I was using a voyager 105 usb modem only and LW was working great - absolutely masses of connections and always turbo charged. I have altered the options/advanced/firewall and set it to manual without doing anything to the router etc and I find that all my connections come back, but the speed never gets above good or occasionally excellent. I guess its about configuring the router but no-one seems to know the formula for doing it. Any ideas/help? |

| 8-15 connections are a bug: using so many UP is hurting the network and performance for all other users. With all the enhancements since 4.0.8, I don't know why you would still use the old version, I bet your dowloads speeds are much worse in 4.0.8... BTW try the latest beta 4.9.4 it is very cool, you can get is on the beta link of your Pro page. Again, more is not always better! Ciao

| "8-15 is a bug"????? That's the reason I use this program, the number and quality of connections. And NO, my speed of download in 4.0.8 is NOT slow....average at least 100kbs....fastest I ever saw in 4.8.1 was a measly 30kbs. Your reply really doesn't answer my question...and I'm not the only one having this concern. "A bug"....lame!! I'm gonna stick with my old version, and perhaps try the new one when it gets out of beta. last post. Sparhawk....out |

| Well consider that most people connect to 3 or 5 UP's. So if you're connecting to 8-15 then there's 5 to 12 people who will be unable to connect via those ultrapeers. I, me myself! lol   |
