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. |

 connecting... My downloads won't connect. They all read connecting... If I press force download, it then reads downloading from 3 host... 0kb and it will stay that way -forever. My downloads will download for a little while and then stop. This happens with all of my downloads. I can click on a file that has four stars and a 20 after it and it will read connecting.... then it reads downloading from (any number of host) but it won't move. After awhile it will read waiting for source. Even if 10 or 20 people have the file. can someone help??  |

| Yes, delete that (the folder). All settings will rervert to default and you're gonna have to do everything from the top. I suggest you uninstall LW and delete the prefs, then proceed to redownload the application and install it.

| Try deleting the file from the dwnld pane & re-select to dwnld from the search results. Do another search for sources & repeat process; deleting & reselecting multiple times b/w each search. Eventually it should kick in & dwnld. I don't know which version of LW you have but by forcing resume for a large quantity of files, it can put great stress upon the connection quality. This is b/c each one queues & takes it in turn whilst they search for sources every few mins. Also attempting to dwnld too many at one time can have an affect upon dwnlding results. Please do this TEST (click on link) See image below that article for closer understanding. Is your result 'True' or 'False'? Optimise your LW settings: Link 1 (click me) and also Link 2 (click me also) and also Search & dwnld techniques (some hints) |

| Thanks I did what you asked and it is marked False. I have LW 4.0.8 I deleted and re-selected the file. It downloaded for awhile and then stopped -which is a good start because none of my files were moving. I'm happy to see them increase 1%. Thanks again |

| There's something blocking LW's access. It doesn't sound like a total block though. Please supply the following info.: OS version, SP's, Java version, connection type, LW version, Router type, firewall types, anti-virus apps, where you're connecting from; home, work, school, etc. 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. |

| Info I’m going to try to answer your questions as best as I can. I don’t know much about my system. OS version, I am using Windows XP Home edition. SP's, Not sure what this means. Java version, connection type, Charter HighSpeed Internet LW version, 4.0.8 Router type, D-Link DI 604 (Residential Gateway) firewall types, I don’t know what a firewall is. I know after the new Windows Pack update I had to go to Control Panel to allow access, but other than that I have no clue. anti-virus apps, I have McAfee Security Package that was pre-installed. It has a Virus Scan. No further info was given. I am a student on a new Dell Laptop. I connect to the internet at home through Charter Communication Cable Company. My service is shared between (3) other computers in the house through a router. The above info is all I could find out about the router. After the new Pack update my system has changed. A forum member suggested that I go to Java.com to download the newest version, which I did. Not sure what version it is, I just know I now have a Java desktop icon. Sometimes when I turn my laptop on a window pops up and says that the connection to Gnutella has been blocked check port 6435. Before the update files would download with no problem, now they read “more sources” or “downloading from 3 hosts” but they don’t actually download. |

| It sounds like a router issue. You will need to do port forwarding for your router & LW to allow port 6346 access. To my knowledge, it can only be done for one comp on your network so the others (if they also use p2p) would need to port forward using a different port no. See this for a detailed explanation (I use D-Link 504G so I'd guess the process will be identical): http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=29463 |
