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.

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. |

| Limewire PRO problem - takes over a minute to closedown Hi Grandpa, as a new user I am unable to post a thread quite yet, however I'm experiencing a problem with LW and wondered if you may have any ideas.. Recently, (past month), when I start LW, it runs ok, connects ok, and downloads ok. The downloaded files are stored on a separate USB drive (300gb) (used about 70gb so far), and LW program is on drive C, my main drive, however when I fire LW up, the drive I store my files on goes into overdrive, to the point that while LW is running, any other files on the drive are very, very slow to respond (e.g. music files). I suspect a bug of some sort, however Mcafee, Norton, Lavasoft or Housecall (run all of them!) hasn't found anything, nor RegMech registry cleaner. The reason I suspect a bug is that my drive never did this before (I've been using Limewire Pro for some time now). I've tried removing LW and re-installing, that didn't work, and because of the drive working overtime, LW takes over a minute to actually closedown from when I want it to. Sometimes I have to go to taskmanager to force it to close. Any suggestions would be a help, and thanks in anticipation! Regards Charlyc  |

| The first thing I would try is Def raging the hard drive. Then if that doesn't help we can start looking from there.

| Look in your saved folder on your external hard drive and see if you have a bunch of files you did not download. When you do the search make sure that you click on Tools icon in the explorer bar then select Folder Options then View. Then put a tick mark in the Show Hidden Files and Folders then you will be able to see all of the files and folders.

| Grandpa, only one hidden file, msdownload.tmp, which I didn't need on the drive, so deleted. A few others, three in total with very long numerical/alphabetical names. Seems to have fixed the problem, thanks again Grandpa, eternally grateful! Djcharlyc |
