If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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.

Perhaps you should realize that the host is busy and actually there is no download possible. Wait or choose an other source.

Question Same problem

All right, I understand now that it does not depend on your connection speed. I once had dial up when this problem started. Just yesterday I switched from dial-up to 112 kbps high-speed internet. All of them, no matter what type of file, became queued.

I made sure that the firewall was letting LimeWire (free version) through.

I have Windows XP service pack 2.

I have the latest update, LimeWire, 4 0.8. I've even totally uninstalled LimeWire and reinstalled this later version.

I tried cleaning and defragmenting my computer to make it faster.

I've tried Kazaa just to see if I could download on it. And I was able. Deleted it cause of all of the junk that comes with it.

Tried a program called WinMX, also for downloading music. It could also download music. No queques. But it's very slow.

LimeWire is more dependable than Kazaa or WinMX, though.

I didn't, though, know that Java was needed for this program. I've got the latest Java, anyhow. Are you sure Java could be a problem? What else could there be?

I've let LimeWire run to "give it time" to connect.

Still nothing.

How much time? Sometimes you have to wait for several hours...

This here is called P2P not downloading from fast servers. You are downloding from people like you and me. The people who offer the files have limited resources as you have.

A lesson in math. An average DSL user have a download speed of 96KB and a upload speed of 16KB. These users are sharing the most. Everybody wants to download with his max speed, some are able to download very fast now we count , if one user would be able to download with max speed this means that 5 others get nothing. You should also realize that not everybody is sharing. These are the reasons why you are waiting for a download slot not because you have technical problems.

To make it short you can have the best computer, the fastest line, the best software, you can defrag it every day but this will not help you. P2P is not so easy...

No, no, how much time has Rage left LW open in order to see if it would eventually connect.
There are stickies about what "deleting the preferences" means: take the time to read them before you post something (and the rules too, in case you missed them).
Well, to save you some time, here's the link to said sticky: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=22359
Reading only the first post is good, but taking the time to go through the entire thread might be beneficial because some users might have found alternatives to the original solution and posted them there.
