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. |

 File Corrupt Every time I download a file, it progresses towards the end, and when it hits 100% it simply says "file corrupted". I went back in this forum and did a little bit of reading and found nothing I have not already done. I have opened my ports in my firewall and router and I have a steady connection to the internet. What is wrong? Can anybody help me?  |

| As a first suggestion... and it is based on a possibly over large assumption on my part... Try DownLoading a file that is NOT current and popular... And, try this with a file that has many sources... The thing is that you may be D/Ling the same sort of material that could be 'interfered with'... And, as usual, we need more info from you about your system !

Can you tell us your router model? And also what firewalls do you have? It sounds like you may have more than one issue here that is resulting in damaged downlds. Which Operating System (OS) version do you use? Windows what or mac or linux version what? |

| I should think above, below or on the side of the modem it will have its model number. Your Linksys modem will have a number similar to one of these examples: BEFDSR41W, BEFSR11, BEFSRU31, BEFSR41 V1 & V2, BEFSR41 V3, V4 & V5, BEFSR41-CA, BEFSX41-CA, BEFVP41 V1 & V2, BEFVP41-CA, BEFW11P1, BEFW11S4 v2, v3, & v3.2, BEFW11S4-CA V2 & V4, WRT51AB, WRT54G v1.1, v2 & CA, WRV54G-CA The reason I'm asking is that some & particularly Linksys modems tend to have internal firewalls. If you can tell us the model no. then hopefully we can find instructions for that particular model which will allow LW full access both in & outwards. |

| Congratulations, well done for disovering your firewall was the problem. You're right, there's no need to go unprotected. You should have an active firewall. OTHER FIREWALLS: Please allow both TCP and UDP connections for optimal performance: Did you check the instructions for Sygate: http://smb.sygate.com/support/docume...figuration.htm LW Uses Port 6346 Quote: Trusted Ports 7. Enter the ports or port range(s), or select the protocol from the drop-down TCP and UDP lists that can be utilized for this application. Only these ports will be used for this application. After LW has been on for at least 15 mins do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image And is the answer True/False? It needs to be true. |

| after coupla days of try, retry... no go with the sygate pro firewall; all advanced setups and even "allow" status of LW in firewall worthless no downloads just corrupt files; downloads working only when the firewall is opted "allow all" which is literally opened fw; the test run with "false" value in defined field; tested which apps are running on fw, funny thing is that besides LW(which even if allowed no go) no java related apps are running - don´t understand why OK when "allow all" and no go with allowed LW; nevertheless, keep on trying... tomas P.S.: HAPPY NEW YEAR 2005  |

| tompa94501 Which Operating Ststem are you using? If it's Win XP then XP also has its own firewall. And if XP do you have SP2? SP2 reduces the no. of simultaneous connections. Can you tell us your Connection type, & Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Some modems & routers have their own firewalls which generally use NAT. NAT reduces the ports available for incoming. Though this shouldn't affect your dwnlds I believe sometimes it can on some device set-ups. |
