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. |

 Hi Shy. Im sorry to inform you but AOL are shaping P2P traffic so its them I would suspect. As for T1,T3 n that you can D/L from all speeds. If you only have 56K dial up, then I would'nt try running to many other programs at same time There are better ISPs out there if you want to use P2P,Play Games,U.Tube. What country you in, people may recomend some for you. Peace.

| But that isn't fair (or right), some rumors say that Vista USES P2P tech NATIVELY in their LAN's, i don't think it should be the local machine then. PS: And a question for ShyGrl, Does Vista run well on those 512 Mb of RAM, or it runs slowly, please tell me, i'm thinking of upgrading |

| Vista and McAfee don't go well together at all and HeatherDianeR is actually correct in what she has advised.... Quote:
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=66843 But you also need to get an Anti Virus, there are plenty of excellent free one's....http://www.grisoft.com/doc/products-...g/us/tpl/tpl01 I use this one myself....

| Honestly DRK-GUY I don't really know. When it comes to computers I'm an idiot but I can say that offline when I want to do something it's not slow but as far as anything I do online at AOL.It's as slow as can be....I can't even run 3 things at once. I've had several people say it's just AOL& it's no good. Some people have said it's b/c I'm on dial up& some have said it has to be something with the computer. Sorry I couldn't help you more.  |

| okay I've uninstalled my Mcafee and guess what..nothing happened..I got the same exact message that I did before so I think Mick is right about it being AOL. I've got Netscape and I was trying to see if I got online there and tried to use LW and when I got on it kept saying i had problems so I posted on their forum and they said that NS responds neg. with the Mcafee too. I haven't tried to get on there since I just uninstalled my program but I'm gonna try now and I'll let you guys know how it goes. |

| YEAH IT WORKED IT WORKED I HAVE LIMEWIRE!!!!!I'M SO HAPPY  THE 3 DAYAND NIGHT HEADACHE IS FINALLY OVERAlright I'm gonna put every little detail that I did down and you guys can make of it what you will. Alright I started by downloading the JRE6 that Mick told me about(thanks so much) When that didn't work we determined it must be Aol....so I was going to try my netscape service...when my NS wouldn't come up I posted on their forums and found out that they have a problem with Mcafee too. Since I've seen it recommended several times I figured I'd try to delete my whole Mcafee. I did and when I went online(AOL) and I tried to search the message popped up"there's no connection so your search may not be complete...etc"I just closed it after that and opened my NS browser I had to connect to AOL to get my browser to work when I did that and it was up and running I tried my LW and when I put in my search it displayed the same message this time I just clicked ok and let it ride. No more then a few sec. after that my search popped up and I could download it and now it's fully downloaded.The only down side is that I haven't yet installed an anti-virus program yet and so I don't know how that'll affect my LW. I'll post if I have problems.Hope this can help someone and save them a big headache. I'd like to say thanks to Mick for all your help I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks to you Heather for giving me the idea. And thanks to anyone else that helped.I'll keep posted im case something happens. Bye |

| Jessie Im so happy you have things working now. So before you do to much downloading take good advice, & check out the stickies in RED at the top of each main forum page. May all your UPs n downs be good one's, n stay away from exe,rar,zip n wma files, there 99.999 % viruses. Stick to avi,MP3 ,till you get the hang of it. Peace.
