Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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.

hmm...i notice you didnt at all read my above post...it said please do NOT hijack this thread, but in answer to your problem it is not downloading you need to do....it is uploading (just a little fact) but anyway you need to save it onto your computer (into a seperate folder would be useful) and then go into options>sharing and click the add button and select your file or folder that you wish to share..you can view the folders whichyou are already sharing by going onto the library tab (not in options)

just a little note, people will not be able to download your file to their pc unless you are online...this is because you dont upload (or download as you put it) onto limewire, this would take one hell of a big file server, you simply add your file into the search engine of limewire and when you are online people will find it and upload direct from your pc (i believe this is right)

but like i said, DONT HIJACK THREADS! this goes to anyone else as well

First of all I want to thank you for your quick reply to my problem. It was a great help. Second I didn't know what I did was wrong or called highjacking I guess because I didn't take the time to read as I should have. I apologize for that. I realized after I posted my problem onto a thread that already existed that maybe no one would see it so then I finally found the page where I could make a new one and did that. Again I'm sorry for highjacking...I will know better next time. Again thanks for all your help and for teaching me about highjacking. RaeRae

Hello:
My uploads are faster than my downloads. I have tried everything on this forum that is suggested to spead up my downloads with no success. My tested download spead is 4931 klbs and my upload is 479. I maxed the speed bar on each. Was I correct in doing this? I also tweaked filters keywords...no / or exe or sponsored files, in the host filter I put in 192.128.*.* and 10.*.*.* uploads are 1 and slots are 11. Have I done something wrong? Is there live help anywhere that can walk me through this? I have spent alot of time trying to tweak limeware. I appreciate any comments. Thanks

I see a lot of mention of "forcing" an IP on to the system, could someone please tell me what this means and how to do it. I am fairly new and would like to follow all the advice given, particularly by 'leeware'
Help would be appreciated

Forcing IP is port forwarding some modems/routers require port forwarding in order for you to be able to connect. Let us know what the brand name and model number of your modem/router is and we will help you out if we can.

Limewire Downloading Problem Slow

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My ISP is Xplornet 512kbps download speed and 128kbps upload speed. My modem for the Xplornet Internet is a satellite modem called SurfBeam. That modem plugs into my router D-Link DI-604. Now when i start up limewire it connects and when it's done connecting it's either in the green end or blue the connect and the globe has no brick on it. When i download a file it takes awhile to connect to person and finaly when it connects to the person it downloads at 1kbps or 0kbps. I'm also getting this file from someone on a Cable/DSL or T1 internet connection. So i should be atleast downloading at 50kbps or 64kbps. I don't know what the problem. I know my ISP doesn't block limewire. So someone please help me!!!!!!!!! Thanks

Smile Maximising upload/download success

Many thanks for replying Grandpa. Sorry for the delay but as I am in the Far East it was the middle of the night when your reply arrived.
My modem/router is a DareGlobal db 108 using 100mb connection speed. I have not been satisfied with the speed of downloads, as others have said very often 1 or 2 kbs when Im sure it should be better.
If you can assist I would be grateful.
Thanks

Unfortunately the search I did on your modem/router had very little results I could understand. Not English the link below is one of the searches I did and I think there is instructions in the third link for port forwarding your Dare Global db 108.
