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. |

 I had a similar problem with eMule. My provider is reducing the speed of some ports - call your ISP and ask them if they are doing it. Try to change your port, it helped me, my speed increased from 3kb to 60kb. Morgwen |

| wicked slow downloads I am also having the same problem but I don't know what ports are available or where to switch it to. If I am lucky I can get 5kb/s for a second or two but the average is 1kb/s. How do I change the port and to which one? Please help 'cause I have a cable connection that runns great for everything else. Nothing is as good for downloading and userfriendlyness as limewire (I have pro) so any help will be very welcome. nic  ps I live in Mexico and don't think that I can accurately communicate with my ISP. Post Post Script: I have combed the forums for hours and hours over the last three days before posting because I tried everything and so far nothing has worked.

| Thanks for the reply but I have read (and implimented) these posts many times each with no luck. I cannot find out my speed because even a download with 116 users I get 6 kb/s (link two says to try this to discover your speed) I have also tried setting it around (both above and below) the values that I get most often when downloading something off of Internet Explorer (average about 21 kbps but I have seen much higher). The most I ever got was 6 on L/W. I hope anyone can help me beyond these links. I apreciate your response you may have helped me clarify for more people to help.

| When you download with many sources like the ones you have you should get a great speed, but I guess it doesn't matter how many users but also their speed is important. don't get too discouraged cause we all get from 1 - 5 kb per sec usually but sometimes we get really good connections you'll get one eventually |

| oh nearly forgot Do you have alot of uploads..? these can sometimes slow you down to change how many are allowed at the same time, go in tools, options, uploads, and than click on the sub categories, and change the settings there hope it finally works out for you |

| Just try this. To find out your dld and upload bandwidths just call your ISP and ask them what you're paying for. I can get max speeds with as few as 3 or 4 hosts so I figure that that link might help. Also, do the bug report and see if it says false or true. Go to www.limewire.com : in the FAQs section you'll learn how to configure your firewall to allow LW to access the net.

| Thank you both for you help (thanks for the words of hope 'stupididiot69') I have read the link that was marked 'this' and it is one of the same that I have tried to use many times. I live in mexico but I don't speak very good spanish so Is there any other way to find out my bandwidth? If not I will try and communicate with them. I will look for bugs and see if that helps at all (where do I look). I will also see if I need to reconfigure my firewall. Thanks again I will post again if I still have trouble! Nic  |
