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.

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 won't connect?? Here's how I fix it!! Limewire has been not connecting every couple of months. Very annoying!! I tried all the uninstall of Java and Limewire routines. Nothing worked!! THE problem IS the application data in C:\Documents and Settings\Put User Account Here\Application Data is corrupt. This folder is not overwritten when installing. Don't uninstall, just delete this folder and when Limewire starts it will ask for your settings again. Works every time for me.....  |

 skier889 is King I've tried every option that has been given, and after countless hours of trying to fix this connection problem, only one post has had the correct answer. Skier889 provided with the exactly correct answer. Like he said go to: C/Documents and Setting/"User (whichever one ur logged in as)"/.limewire(this was the problem folder for me, i just deleted it and re-installed it and worked perfectly fine). For anyone having trouble just use this method and u have a good chance of fixing ur problem  |

| Ok. Is everyone ready for my problem? In the past, Limewire worked perfectly for me. Now, it is completely screwed up for no apparent reason with no end in sight. As of right now, I have to download via Frostwire, then pluck the files from Limewire (which doesn't connect) and then drag them into iTunes. When I try to place things from Frostwire to iTunes, it's an error message. I manually opened the port for Limewire, added and re added it to my exception list, and even tried shutting down every form of security on my computer. PLEASE. Someone help me. Thanks. |

| Limewire will connect Hello, there is a very easy solution to the problem so many people will run into when there Limewire won't connect. The reason Limewire won't connect is because Limewire wants you to spend money and upgrade your account. What I did was I downloaded another filesharing program, at that point limewire detected the other p2p program on my computer and started connecting again pronto. Just download Imesh or Kazaa, you don't have to use those programs, it's just so Limewire detects them on your computer and starts connecting again.
