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. |

 Limewire:-The ongoing problem...((Help appreciated!!)) In order to make this post less convoluted and complicated than it should be, It will be written as a list. 1.Downloaded 4.3.XX. Worked Fine. 2.Upgraded to 4.2.9.Worked Fine. 3.Closed LW for a couple of hours...On trying to restart it, it wouldn't load. 4.Checked these forums, deleted the prefs folder, still nothing. 5.Started PC today, Limewire starts up with a four Bar connection speed... yet only two files begin downloading. After a few minutes, the 'Your computer does not have an active connection...' error. Strangely, these two files continued to download. 6.Checked Firewall, nothing. 7.Checked Ports, nothing. 8.Uninstalled, Reinstalled, Now I have an 'excellent' gnutella connection, yet only one file is downloading. ( I do not mean one at a time. That file has now finished, and now everything needs more sources) N.B. I have also noticed that while the files were downloading, Limewire still reported that 0Kb/s were being transfered. I can also still successfully search for files and people can upload from me. I am running: XP with SP2 Athlon 1.8 Ghz 2Mb Broadband via BT-Yahoo. Any suggestions?  |

| Starting at 2/ upgrade to 4.2.9?????? Hmmm We are now on 4.9.27 although many users are still using the old 4.8.1 can you confirm your version in Help>about (i think ... I' a mac user) and if it is a recent version .. 4.9.xxx try preferences/options>view>popups> tick square box beside "revert TO default".... DO NOT click big bar saying restore defaults!!! If no good come back ... with your version number

| Meh, my typo. 4.9.27 This hasn't worked. Not sure whether or not this could bare any relevance, but Limewire first stopped responding after I deleted my FireFox history. Whether or not this is relevant I don't know, but I thought I'd mention it. |

| Well this is one that I have had something similar to. But there was one Major difference like yours it said I did not have a connection and files were still downloading #5. But I never had the problem of limewire not starting #3. And Limewire worked fine after the connection issue. There is one thing you might try but if you do it you will loose all of you incomplete files. First move all of the files you want to keep to another folder out of LimeWire. Now uninstall Limewire search your computer for any remnants of limewire IE start/search/files and folders type in Limewire. Delete any files that say limewire. Now edit your registry IE start/run type in regedit into the run box. Search your registry for anything that says limewire delete it. I do not recommend doing this if you are not sure of what you are doing if you delete something in your registry that you are not supposed to you can mess up your computer. I see you are running XP before you try any of the above try doing a system restore pick a point before you had a problem with LimeWire. You will have to reinstall the newest version of LimeWire and see what happens. I have a feeling something has messed up your setting or part of LimeWire has been corrupted some how. I do not know that any of the above will help and it might be advisable to wait and see if any of the other LimeWire members have any Ideas before you try these repairs. |
