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.

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. |

 Possible Cause: I have a suspicion your LPE was unable to connect due to a 64-bit Java 7 update. ie: LimeWire changed its location for the settings to top level of your user account with the name .limewire and your shared files also changed location to a folder called LimeWire also at top level of your user account. You can check this yourself. If yes then delete those folders. The normal location of the settings is in the appdata folder, not the top level of your user account. And your original LW shared folders will be within your 'My Documents' folder. Don't touch the original folder. Possible Fix: Go to the java site and look for the 32-bit java update. When you install it will probably say its already installed but install anyway. If using Vista or later, right-click the Java installer and choose 'Run as Administrator' if you use an administrator account. Next time you start LPE all should be back to normal with any luck. If after deleting the .limewire folder you are asked to do the setup again when you open LW, then all is not back to normal yet. This seems to be a Java 7 issue.  (Folders underlined in red can be deleted if they exist. This is caused by a Java 7 issue.)  |

| My Limewire Pirate version suddenly stopped working two days ago. I haven't changed anything in it at all. I have windows 7 64bit running java 1.6. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing program, connect fix,etc. I am not sure what happened but I have not installed Java 1.7 because I didn't want to screw up Limewire....Now it stopped working on its own. Any ideas on next step? |

| Have you tried a fresh connection install? via Hotfile or via MediaFire |

| All the LW 5 & LPE versions suffer same issue, if not used for 30 or more days, as soon as you open the program it will delete the connection file as its opening. I created LimeStart (for MacOSX a year ago) and several days ago for Windows. The Windows LimeStart operation is not quite as elegant or silent but it works fine. LimeStart changes the connection file's date so LW will not delete the file, then it launches LW. I have LW on several Windows (2000, XP, 7, 8) and often had that problem of the connection file being deleted. The connection window would be empty, ie: LW not attempting to connect to any hosts because it had no list of hosts to connect to. Good to hear you got connection back.  If sleepybear91's last connection was just a couple of weeks earlier, I'm not sure the cause. On some occasions a reboot can help with connections with LW or other similar programs. On my mac, sometimes LW starts up as being firewalled and does not lose that status. A relaunch usually fixes it but if not a reboot always does. |

I used MediaFire's file. Worked great! Thanks! About 3 months ago you gave me a link to file that negated the 30 day thing. It said it installed correctly, so I don't know why this happened again. |

Just the Windows LPE Connection Fix alone there's about 100 downloads per day. I would imagine if more people used LimeStart this number will probably drop. BTW the connection fix should be good enough to use for several months, perhaps half a year or up to a year. The file it installs is dated many years in advance and there are many reliable hosts on the list whom are permanent network users. Good to hear you got your connection back. |

If you are using Vista or later, the java must be set to Run as Administrator. Search java.exe and right-click and choose that option. For some odd reason this has a big impact on LW connecting. Have you tried the options here? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html |
