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. |

| Use the same tips as here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=47448 I'm not fully understanding your problem. Are you trying to install LW or having difficulty with loss of connection for LW? Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Speed & tick Disable Ultrapeer Capabilities. Also reduce the download & upload speeds to perhaps 80-90% of your ability. You can find out your practical speed here http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/speedtest/ Don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality. May queue your files for much much longer. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time.

| I cant even get to the search screen at all. After I dled the LW software the icon appeared on my desktop. I clicked on that to begin the install. While it was trying to install I got kicked off my internet. This happens everytime I try to install LW. Other file sharing sites in the past such as WINMX and a few others have worked fine. |

| That's why I recommended the "Offline" installation for both Java & LW. See my tips in my 1st link. Offline meaning you're installing from the computer & not over the net. And get the offline installer from here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

| Not sure what you mean by offline installer but the link for LW you gave me is where I dled it from. Im not home now and will try this later but thats the same site I used to dl it. I think I understand you now. When you dl from that site it sends it to your desktop then you double click on it to begin the dl. Its then that I get disconnected from the internet and have to reset my modem. |

| This is what I meant by the offline installer http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...731#post169731 Unfortunately it's not offered for either the beta or pro downlds. It's the 2nd Windows installer option. And is recommended for those who have difficulties installing online such as you've had.

| Uninstall & reinstall Java using "Offline" installer. Uninstall Java using the Add/Remove control panel. Then downld the "Offline" Java installer. Links for Java found in point #1 here: Fixes for Limewire I believe you have a corrupt or incomplete Java installation. BTW if you have a cable connection & you're having problems downlding simple software online, then I would check this out much closer. Your modem/router may be failing you or there's a line problem. Check your connections to make sure everything is plugged in ok & the cable is not damaged. It might even be a fault in your card in the comp.
