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. |

 Hello! First you have to make sure that indeed no one is getting a decent connection with you for them to upload a file from you to check this do the following: In LW preferences: Tools>Options>Sharing Here make sure that the proper folder is selected which means that the folder under Sharing should be exactly the same as the folder under saving(Options>Saving) Also check the following in LW preferences: Options>Uploads>Basic Here make sure that you have assigned atleast 80% or preferrably 100% of your upload bandwith and also make sure that the option Auto Clear completed uploads is not checked(very important I had that critical error once). Now check the following: Options>Uploads>Slots Here make sure that you have some uploads available I use the following settings Allow 20 uploads per person,5 Start Upload Slots,and 20 Max upload Slots. And also check this: Options>Advanced>Preferencing Here make sure that you do not have set the requirement to high I have set the value to 20 files that someone have to share to be able to download from me but you can set a lower value but please do not allow freeloaders set the value to atleast 1 file. Also check the following: Options>Advanced>Port here make sure that you are listening on port 6347 When you have checked all this then click Apply button then OK then just wait and see if people are making connections and are able to download from you. Also one last thing that you can check right now is under Tools>Statistics Here you can see how many uploads that have gone trough your computer I usually gets something like 250-1000 a day and I transfer about 2Gigs each day. Also make sure under the Connections tab that the port selected is 6346 and not the same as your listening port 6347.

If you have tried all the stuff that I have mentioned in my previous post then also check under the Library tab do your shared files appear there or do they not?. I have seen many posts here recently from XP and 2000 users using the latest version of LW but apparently the previous version worked better so try a downgrade and see if that helps. This seems to be the most serious bug in LW for a very long time since it is so harmfull to the Gnutella network after all if less and less files gets available on the network when more and more XP and 2000 users upgrade to the latest version then it is very harmfull to Gnutella since it is loosing a wast amount of data and files that no one can download successfully maybe the files do not even show up on the network. Just let us hope that the LimeWire developers fixes this bug in the next major realese which is 2.5.Untill then I would advice to downgrade to the previous version which was 2.4.0 I think(not 100% sure) or maybe an even older version like 2.2 or above.We cannot afford so much good quality content get lost on the network because of a bug relating to XP and 2000 users and after all those users are very many.

| Hello! If it is not just LW but all clients that are affected by this issue then it must be the OS itself and not a bug in the clients that are to be blaimed for this.So I searched for a solution and I think that I maybe have found the solution to your problem: How To Enable Filesharing in Windows XP! I hope It Helped you and many others! Let Me Know If It Worked!

 No uploads even requested Joakim, I too have this problem. Hundreds of mp3's and no uploads. I went through your suggestions step by step, and waited for several hours, but no uploads. Other Gnutella freeware clients I use seem to get hits and d/l requests regularly, but NOT the bought and paid for LM software. I do see many inbound searches coming in, and they should clearly hit my files, but NOT one upload to date. I even completely reinstalled LM, to no avail. Any other suggestions? I am running W2K. My thanks! Quote:
