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, Joakim Agren or anyone else. Maybe you can answer this question: I did as you said and although many people try to download my files many have the message "file not found" or "transfer interrupted." I know they're all there because I checked and I'd like to share them.  |

| The following 4 quotes are picked at random from previous postings on this site. They illustrate my and many others' frustration with the kind of 'help' provided all too often, by this board. The quotes are an abridgement of a multi-page dialogue between LeeWare and Trap_Jaw who appear to be in huge disagreement as to proper procedures for 'Maximizing LimeWire's Download/Upload Success... QUOTES: "However for people you just like to jump on the computer and actually accomplish download something this information is very valuable to them. Yes - I am suggesting that people block all of the people who don't now how to force IPs for use on Gnutella." "Pong/Responses Recurse the Query path to find the the host that issued the query. If my machine is a NATed machine it will respond with the ip of my private net." "in the cases where QoS is applied to P2P traffic the polocies tend to be strick which means that almost no-bandwidth is allocated to P2P traffic. So for instance anyone downloading or uploading on these connection can expect serious problems with the files tranfers. Take for instance a QoS polocies that says allow 4Kbps to P2P traffic means:" "MP3 Size * BitRate = SizeInBit / QoSBitRateAllows = SecondsToDownload / MinutesToDownload = Download Time." I, for one, have absolutely no idea what they are talking about and can guarantee neither speaks to the majority of LimeWire users. I'm sure they gain a certain fulfillment from showing their command of the lingo off, but most of us just want to be able to log-on, search for files and download; all the while allowing others to do the same with our files. So... once again, thank you to Joakim Agren, for your grasp of this simple concept. If those in charge had the same grasp of the real and fundamental frustration level (made apparent by those of us actually using the program) they would save their high tech verbal jousting and begin the implementation of answers instead of rhetoric. My QueryPath as Recursed by my4Kbps to P2P Pong/Responses QoSBitRate is sure of it! |

The file not found issue has been around since I started using LW and there have never been any solution to it.It sure is a strange problem but fortunatelly most files are not affected by this.For my 6100 files only about 40 is affected. The Transfer interrupted issue is also a strange bug but unlike the File Not Found issue this one is new.I am also affected by this and I am using LimeWire 2.8.6 for Classical Mac OS 9.1.I did not have that problem when I was using LimeWire 2.4.4.It seems to be related to the Gwebcache and swarmed downloads.I will have to get back to you on this isssue.I will contact the developers and see what they have to say about it and if they can fix it.

Hello, o-helpful-one!  I read a post a few days ago (though I can't seem to locate it by searching for it) about File Not Found. No, as you said, there is no solution, but an explanation given goes something like this:If I begin downloading file "XYZ.mp3" from you and it doesn't complete, it is still in my download queue. Then you change the name to "ZYX.mp3" or delete/move it. Next time I run LimeWire, it will try to connect to you again, but it is looking for "XYZ.mp3" which is no longer there. You will see the "File Not Found" message in your Upload queue. Not sure what I will see on my end, though. Maybe the never-ending "Requery" message? Anyway, just my two cents on this issue...  You are awesome, by the way, with all your detail!  |

| in the future, limewire will communicate with other limewires as often as possible without actually exchanging the real filename. instead, they will use 'hashes' of the file. this way, someone could start downloading file XYZ.doc, stop downloading, have the other end rename the file (but not change it at all!) to ZYX.doc, and the first person will still be able to resume the download, keeping the original name they wanted. there are also many improvements (again thanks to trap_jaw) that will fix most (if not all) of the 'could not move to library' bugs. limewire will now attempt to replace bad characters with a '_' and cap the length of the filename, instead of dying whenever it encounters a name that is bad. also, it will stick with the name you chose when you clicked 'download' instead of possibly changing it midway through. i'm not sure where you're seeing transfer interrupted. that's only on the upload window, not the download window. and that generally just means the person uploading from you decided they didn't want the file anymore. |
