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. 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. |

 Connection problem continues whatever I do Hi. For my first post I would like first to say hello to all people here. My problem is next. I have LimeWire 4.12.3 and it worked just fine, without any problems until three days ago. I shared my files and dl others without a minor proble, but until then I can't connect. Actually, LW tries to connect and in connection tab I've got 9 hosts and in time column time goes from 1 sec to 15 or so and then it just disappear. I've tried everything, from FAQ's tips, help, reading all posts here and trying things from them (deleting .limewire folder, changing and adding ports for gnuttella, etc etc). I've tried do deinstall and install LW again, too. Nothing helped. What confuses me is that everything worked well, and then it just stoped. If anyone can help me and give me some tip, I would be much obliged.  |

Also try disabling Ultrapeer capabilities. In LW go to Tools>Options>Speed, and tick "Disable Ultrapeer Capabilities", click apply. See if that helps.

| Besides the advice of 6_pac, I'd recommend to update your Java. Dowbload the JRE offline installer of the newest version from here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp You might also consider to upgrade your lW, the newest version is 4.12.4. Download the basic installer from here (also offline installer exe)): http://www.limewire.com/ By the way, the preference folder of the 4.12.3 version is not " .limeiwre ", it's called "LimeWire" and you can find it in the hidden Application Data folder (usually here: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\Application Data\LimeWire ).

| Thanks fellas, @ 6_pac - I've already tried disabling Ultrapeer capabilities. It didn't help a bit, as decreasing of number of downloads, too. @ foolofthehill - I upgraded LW yesterday to v. 4.12.4. It didn't help. Same story continues. .limeiwre was a typing error of course. Altough I believe that in 4.12.3 path was C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire, but I'll check it. I'll deinstall this version and revert to 4.12.3, to see. What really confuse me is that my LW worked just fine until couple of days ago, and then it just broke... This tips didn't help me, nevertheless great thanks to 6_pac & foolofthehill. |
