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.

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. |

 Trap_Jaw, Thanks for your response. If I was still using 2.9.8, I would definitely put to work your suggestions. I might, in fact, re-install and see what happens. I did like some of the other improvements, I must admit. Over all, though, it still seems like a significant downgrade when I compare 2.9.8's download frequency and general ease-of-use with what I am currently back to using (2.8.5). I do appreciate your suggestions, though, and I hope I didn't come off as a chump in previous responses. Best, Lareux  |

| I wonder if there's more to it than that. My daughter has been pulling her hair out for the past 2-3 months because she couldn't download on her iMac upstairs, while I had the same problem on the PC in the office. We've been behind a router for longer than that with no problems, so I don't see that the router settings alone has anything to do with it. Anyway, I've been working on a project out of town recently and staying in a corporate apartment. The setup there uses static IP addresses and I tried Limewire 2.9.8 again last week. Great results by comparison. The success rate was around 50%. Today I'm back at home and have had one success after 20 attempts. So I'm wondering if Static IPs vs DHCP may have anything to do with it. |

| You're right that the router alone can't explain the variety of results with all the gnutella changes and the dynamic nature of the network. FWIW, I've always been on a static IP. I did try a direct connection for a while, and didn't see much difference between it and when I was behind my NAT. I've seen the most improvement by fiddling with the firewall and NAT software. Looks like LW 3 is getting closer, and will probably bring in the most changes for Macs, and probably other platforms too. There are still lots of GUI bugs, but the project seems to be emphasizing search changes right now. |

| hi sam--hope you get an easter break too. I've been trying to follow your work on the compression stuff, and it looks pretty interesting for Ultrapeers. Thanks again for the tip on reading the dev mailing lists to get a sense of what is happening. Much less frustrating (but less entertaining) than reading a bunch of "doesn't work" posts looking for troubleshooting tips. I haven't bothered with a list of the gui glitches, since it looked like the team was busy with the cross-platform search and connection issues. Too, I figured most of the GUI stuff would be java 1.3 related on OSX, so thought that when LW switched to using 1.4.1, I'd start paying more attention. Acq looks to have done a very nice job working those out. Just off the top of my head, the bugs that seem to be GUI related are --LW crashing as Ultrapeer. I sent in quite a few crashlogs on this one, and hope it can be fixed soon so I can run reliably as an Ultrapeer rather than as a leaf. --columns not refreshing a sort quickly. I usually have to scroll up and down one screen to get reliable views. --"Could not move to Library" triggers a blank display in the Library Pane --the close button on search tabs above the first row doesn't work (the command-click does) --would like to see tooltip data for completed uploads, and a better way to follow chunked uploads than just "complete" for each chunk in the Monitor Pane. Too, reporting of KB/s in the 0-1 range would be appreciated. This would help me optimize for sharing. (adding the vendor info has been very useful here) Is that enough for starters, or are there others you like us to watch for? Would a new thread in the Beta forum be a better place for this? I could delete this post and start a new thread there if you think that would be useful. Cheers--hope your internship with LW is rewarding. |

| I updated today to the latest version. Before updating I could download files, now I cannot. I get the awaiting sources msg EVERY TIME I attempt a download. I also noticed that often the D/L will start, only to stop and spit out that error msg a few seconds later. If I restart the D/L then it goes again for a few seconds and then stops again, with the same error msg. Now after about 30 or 40 times starting and waiting, starting and waiting, I have my file. I did not have this problem with the previous version which suggests to me that something has been overlooked here by the developers... |
