Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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.

Default Max connection limit in ultrapeer mode

when going in ultrapeer mode it opens up about 50 leaf connections .

I understand why this is normal , so don't start explaining me how LimeWire works .

What I need to know :

Is there anyway to change the default of 50 to for example 30 .

I have a big enough connection so bandwidht is not my problem .

The problem is that my CPU has to manage too many searches and it's making LimeWire unresponsive .

And it's not that 99% CPU time bug either that's seems to be going around and assaulting people .

I now that i'll probely need to edit the limewire.props file .

So , any ideas on how to change the maximum conection limit in Ultrapeer mode ?

Default free memory?

Are you sure you're not running out of free memory? My system gets unresponsive from uploads causing my Win2000 setup to dedicate all available memory to file caching. If I disable my anti-virus software (Norton 2001), the problem goes away.

256 MB isn't much if you also run a lot of apps. I've got one system with 256 MB of RAM, and 36 is available. If I were to fire up LimeWire, it would take more than half of this available RAM away too (Java = memory hog).

Using WinNT/2000/XP, when LW becomes unresponsive, right click on your taskbar and open up your task manager from the menu (if "task manager" doesn't show up, make sure you're clicking on a blank area of your taskbar).

Click the "Processes" tab and search for Limewire in the "Image Name" column. Might help to sort that column by clicking on the column-header.

Once found, right click on the Limewire entry, select "Set Priority" and then "Low".

Hopefully, this gives some time back to your CPU and LW will become responsive again.

P.S.: Sometimes you may seem not to run that many apps. Only explorer shows up in your taskbar. But with the above method, you can also see how many apps are actually running in the background (services, etc.) and how much memory they take - you'd be amazed.

I already know the CPU priority trick , been running it in low priority since version 1.9

And I still have a good 10MB of memory open .
It's running on a dedicated PC together with an FTP server and I already tried to fish out and disable all unecsery programs .

Besides after I posted this I took a good look at limewire.props and figured it out myself .

I changed the parameter MAX_SHIELDED_CONNECTIONS
And now I can control the maximum leaf connections easily .
Made it 20 instead of the default of 50 and LW is now runing fine .
