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. |

 Tony: If you have lost the download.dat file from the incomplete folder then there is not much you can do. This file contains the information on which parts of which files have been downloaded. The latest version of LimeWire (2.6.3) is quite good at not losing the download.dat file even during a crash - but it happens from time to time. I suggest you delete the contents of the incomplete folder and start again. Mark  |

 I downloaded version 2.6.3 and I'm having the same problem. I am one of the idiots that registered the software so I have the pro version. What's going on? I have a file like 96% completed, and when I restart the LimeWire, I start all over at zero percent. Come on. I use a cable modem, I can just imagine how the 56K and less users feel. |

| I am also having this problem in 2.6.3 pro. Downloaded a 700 MB to 98% and then the lovely "Requery" messages appeared. Tried resuming later on and it had gone back to 0% ... It's very irritating ... particularly in combination with large file downloads and an ISP that restricts downloads to 3 GB's per month!! |

 Alternatives I was a Gnucleus user previously. Got sick and tired of its constant crashes. I used to use Limewire occasionally, if I wanted to leave it running overnight or something, because it didn't crash as often as Gnucleus. Eventually registered for Limewire Pro, and lo'n'behold just as I do that Gnucleus 1.8.4 comes out and it's got to be the most stable release of Gnucleus I have ever experienced. I can keep it running for days on end, the only reason to stop it is when I have to reboot my machine for some reason. It's as stable as Limewire is. Plus it doesn't use as much CPU power as Limewire does, so it scales better. It doesn't suffer from the resume downloads from zero bug of Limewire. And best of all, it's free, GNU source-code software. |

| lost huge file when lime crashed I have had the same problem. Limewire crashed, and when I restarted the computer, a huge file I had downloaded 60% of just disappeared from the downloads list. The file is still sitting in my incompletes folder, and I tried redownloading the same file, with no success. I am back to 0%. I wish Limewire developers would address huge bugs like this, or at least offer a good workaround, before focusing on adding new things to the program. An answer from a developer on this issue would be nice! By the way, I am a PRO user as well, so I am paying for these bugs! |

 Solution to resumen "half-downloaded files" Hi everybody, Most of you have the same problem that I had before. Now I've found the solution, for I'm using LimeWire daily since 2 years ago, so I've learnt some things. Now I have LimeWire 2.6.3, and sometimes it crashes too, but if you make a copy of the "downloads.dat" file from time to time (I mean, every 5 or 10 minutes) and you places it in another folder of your pc, though LimeWire crashes, you'll be able to substitute the "downloads.dat" folder, and then it will start to be downloaded the same files that you were before (downloads.dat contains the downloading list of files). In relation to the "same point of the downloading file", it doesn't depend on Limewire, but on the same ip which keeps the same file. Try to look for it. Thus I've finish every download. It works! Good luck everybody! |
