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.

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.

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. |

 Moved incomplete file, progress zeroed I moved an 55% incomplete downloaded file to another directory. Then restrarted a new download to see if it would go any faster, it didn't :-( I deleted the newer incomplete file, and copied the old 55%incomplete file back into the incomplete directory. Now when the very slow download is re-started, it says it is only 1% complete. And even though the download entry says it's receiving data when I display the contents of the incomplete directory with explorer (I do refresh the view), the file is not growing in size :-( any idea if I can get the 55% progress on the original file recognised by limewire ? tia  |

| This is b/c you're dwnlding from a different source. Moving the file out of the dwnld folder may have affected LW's downloads.dat & .bak files. Have a look in your LW Library window & see what size your file is. You can try deleting the file from the dnld window (on search window) & going to lib wind & press force resume from the incomplete folder. Howver doing this risks the file starting from zero since the downloads.dat file has possibly been ammended. What 'I' would do is (1) I would go to Library window & delete any listing of that item that is obviously less than 55% from the incomplete folder - you'll probably have more that one item in the incomplete folder listed! But make sure you delete the right one! Careful! (2) Then I would delete the listing from the dwnld pane of the search window, (3) then search for this item & reselect it to dwnld. If it continues at anything less than 55%, then I would delete it again from the dwnld pane & select another from the search results. I would continually do this until it works, also trying another search. If still no success, go to LW's menu & View-Show/Hide-Search & temporarily untick MagnetMix. Now try searching again (doing this may/not make a difference.) |

| Thanks for the replies. I did try "restoring" each copy of the incomplete file from the recycle bin, but Limewire always started from 0% for each one. I tried opening up the download.dat file and searching for each occurrance of the incomplete file, there were several entries spread through the file. But I can't understand the hex? data associated with each entry, so this wasn't very edifying. I also noticed today that in the incomplete directory, the original 55% incomplete file appears to have the word Preview appended to the beginning of its file name. Any idea why Preview has been added ? If I was to use rename command to remove the word Preview from the 55% incomplete file, what's the chance that Limewire might recognise it again ? tia |

| I'm fairly sure I have listened to incomplete MP3 files before, and then restarted its download, without it having to start from 0% again, but I can't say I saw the word Preview appended to the front of the MP3 file name, so I'm not sure it's a valid comparison ? The 55% incomplete file, is a .pdf document. I too am not a developer, just a user, I hope my posts are ok for this forum ? It's the first forum for Limewire I found. |

| Yeah, it's not a good comparison. When you previewed those other files, you didn't move or anything their original incomplete, so Limewire knew (through downloads.dat) that, when you clicked Resume, it had to resume the incomlete file (in the Incompletes folder it looks something like this: "T - ######## - <filename>"). By removing the incomplete file of the dld that you are trying to resume now, you probably corrupted downloads.dat and it's backup downloads.bak, which would cause Limewire not recognizing them as a previous Incomplete. It is almost the same as partially dlding a file through another P2P client (even one that connects to Gnutella) and then moving that partially dlded file in LW's Incomplete folder in hopes of resuming it through LW.
