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.

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.

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. |

We very much care about our users' concerns, but Gnutellaforums is too big for us to read every message. As KathW says, it's best to contact the LimeWire staff personally if there's something urgent to report. Please note that we can't provide 24 hour turnaround times for all questions! |

thank you Mme/Msr Developer Definitely 'get it' that the fora are too populated to track each post. That is why I sent my msg to the moderators. I have since learned how to re-search, am sad that I cannot see the incoming searches [they sometime provided inspriration for my own searches] and I look forward to continuing to interact with Lime improvements. Will have a go w/LW2 again in a bit - thanks for the update. maphead |

Limewire2 SUCKS! You are all ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! I just payed for version 2, and it only gives me ONE connection, labeled "Ultrapeer". I fail to see WHY I am being forced to connect to an "Ultrapeer" when I have a ****ING T1!!!! I should BE an "Ultrapeer", (If I chose to enable it, that is!) |
| |||
Just curious: Why does searching/downloading work so much better in Xolox than it does in Limewire? I can do the same search in both programs after about 30 minutes of sitting on the network. Limewire finds the file twice, Xolox finds it 50 times. If I disconnect from whatever crappy ultrapeer I happen to have hooked into then I can maybe find it 5 times, or maybe not find it at all - or maybe if I am extremely lucky I can find it say 10 times.. When I try to download the file though, it only gets the file from one or two places - and the transfer generally takes so long that one or two of the hosts go offline and it's just a waste of time. Xolox seems to get the file from as many places as it possibly can - resulting in transfers of 200K/second sometimes. Why can't limewire do this? The ultrapeers seem to be the real downfall of Limewire - since they were introduced the program has become pretty much useless. I'm not complaining.. I am grateful for any free software I can get.. I am just wondering WHY...? It has been said that it should get better once everyone is using the new version that supports the new features, but all I can connect to now are ultrapeers - which leads me to believe that people are indeed using the new version, and things are still sucking.. |

I seem to be in the miniority here... I haven't had problems with the new version's abilities. Yes, not knowing how many potential clients I have access to was annoying. but you know what? That didn't work in the old versions either... it was a meaningless number that was used by most as an artificial phalic to wave about. I rarely have to disconnect from my first ultrapeer to find a host that has clients that have files I want. And I've _NEVER_ had a problem finding people willing to bombard my computer with requests for files in my library. Do I get _more_ search results from Bearshare right now? Sure, and out of them I get maybe a 10% success rate in downloading. With this new client, perhaps it's the ultrapeer tech or perhaps it's that the people using the new client are actually 'dedicated' to the idea, but I've had a better than 40% success rate in getting files. And given that, from my understanding, EVERY major client developer team have signed onto the Ultrapeer idea, I can only see it gettting better. This is a bump people, stop making it out to be the end of the road. |

i talked to the developer and he said that right now i think we are at limewire 2.0.3 and he said that there are issues with that version and they hope to have a beta version on 2.0.6 out soon that will fix this ultrapeer thing. the only reason i'm complaining is i don't need ultrapeer with my connection speed so hopefully the next version will actually disable ultrapeer when u choose to disable it. |

hmm, d/l'ed 2.0 for OSX today and at first it was working wonderfully. Much faster, more responsive than the 1.8 it replaced. I seemed to get more hits and everything was d/l'ing very fast compared to the usual dinky speeds of 1.8 (I have cable modem also!). I closed the program and when I went back to it a few hours later to d/l again I had all the problems that all of you are complaining about. No hits. Needless to say I will be back in 1.8 for a while, but I think ultrapeer (at least the idea of it) seems very promising. |
