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. |

 Hi asriel57, The downloading problem sounds like the license option. See: License warning Option. Also check out this thread: How to find music Don't know about the double icons. You could try the fixes in this thread: Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should!

| Hi 6_pac Thanks for the response, but I'm not even getting as far as the Licensing Question. Everything looks hunky dory File> Connected..everything normal. Search, pick song, Download button......de nada! Like it's dead, like I'm not connected to the internet but without the 'you are not connected' warning. Had a look in the fixes thread but didn't come across anything that seem appropriate. I don't give up easy and won't leave it alone until it's fixed. Thanks again asriel57 |

| Sorry, I missed the part about the sound card  . Try Lord of the Rings suggestions in this thread: LW loading blank and how i fixed it.Also if you've changed skins lately, try changing back to the default.

| Speed is of the essence I have read thru the info and changed many settings but I am still only downloading at the speed of 1-2KB/s not real good eh? Any idea as to how I can get a faster download speed. I am on OSX 10.3 using limewire 4.12.15 pro! Decided to buy pro so that it'd be faster - how wrong can it all be?  |

 Reply to kittiepaws, asriel57, knj about various kittiepaws Remoc right, no more address forcing in last two years LW versions. To be safe, have separate folder for all files in your LW 'Library'. Then download latest free version LW 4.13.12 BETA, configure under Tools/options, and try it, no forcing needed. If that doesn't work (make sure have separate LW content folder), go to 'Control Panel' and uninstall any LW version/s listed there (should only be one, but a few people are getting double LW desktop icons). Then, install same LW 4.13.12 BETA and configure again. The last has worked for two friends, but senior members/monitors may be unhappy with that recommendation. asriel57 6_pac correct about 'License'. Your reply after his advice said all connections looked normal but you didn't get as far as licensing change as he suggested. If you get that far, you can change licensing. As for double icons, check your Program files & Control Panel-add/uninstall for two LW versions on your system. Refer you to suggestions to Kittiepaws above this. knj If your configs correct, very good chance your Internet Service Provider is using 'Traffic Shaping' or 'Bandwidth Throttling' (same thing) on LWire and other p2ps. There are quite a few very recent complaint/explanation Posts about this subject under 'Download/Upload Problems'. If everything you down & upload is slow you have a system problem. If only on p2ps like LWire, likely its 'throttling' and you may have to hunt for new provider, making sure they don't use it as well. Luck to all, caseybob |

| reply lee evans/leeware thanx for the info i'm not computer-savvy but i think i get what you meant with the ip address thing. you see when i check to see whats uploading on my computer there's only ever one or two different things being uploaded (but a lot of them) but i've added a couple of folders to share with limewire that hold a LOT of different music/films that are definitely download-worthy so I was wondering if the fact that my ip address begins with 192, cud be affecting what gets uploaded. you mentioned something cud be done about that 'forcing it thru' the thing is i have NO clue how to even begin doing that...cud you give some step by step instructions?  ps altho i see exactly wer you're coming from with regards to people starting threads/not reading faqs' etc i think its important to remember that newbies (like myself) arent necessarily doing it on purpose. i got limewire for the obvious benefits but i'm also trying to share my files/folders as well and wen i first came to this forum i didnt have a clue how to navigate it (still not good!) and felt getting answers to problems that can help me/others is more important than making sure i post it in the correct place. but i AM putting in the effort now that i'm a little more used to the forum..... thanx for any future help with regards to sharing my folders.  |

 Reply to Leise re few uploads at same time Hello: A few simple basics that may help. First, you have to let members know details of your system (use form) when you have questions/problems. I use slow cable connection but am always swamped with UPload sharing. How fast is your UPload connection in KILOBYTES (always slower than DOWNload)? Simple thing you might have missed; in configuration under UPLOAD, set it to at least three allowed...higher if you have hi-speed ISP connection because you correctly believe sharing is important. Check this and if no change likely your Internet Provider is throttling your UPloads...most ISP's have adopted 'Bandwidth Throtting' or 'Traffic Shaping', either for UP, DOWN, or both. Further, type 'Limewire' in your Explorer, pick File Hippo because they list all LW versions, and download latest version at top. It might help. Reply to this with your complete system info (see form) so other members can provide you with detailed advice. Good luck, caseybob |
