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. 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. |

 Try following the steps in this link for optimizing LW. It worked good for me. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=34114 I have reached speeds of 170 KB/s d/l and seen u/l hitting 60+ KB/s. Except when I got blue star result a couple of times my d/l speed hit 380 KB/s, and I grabbed all the files. Of course they did the same with mine. Must have been a neighbor or someone really close.  |

| mushroomturtle can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. ram? 4. HDD space available? 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) 9. Who is your isp provider? The problem nowadays is once some isp's detect you're using p2p they filter it so you don't get the speeds as before. It's hard to know b/c they will never tell you. Why would they. Did you try deleting your LW preferences folder whilst LW was closed; instructions: Fixes for Limewire |

 Slow download Hi, yes I have the same problem with slow downloads! I used to use winmx and averaged about 60 - 70kbs on a 512kbs adsl broadband. I was then disconnected by my ISP because I changed my phone line from my name to my girlfriends. After 2 weeks I was reconnected and the highest speed I could obtain was 0-10kbs! About once a week the speed will shoot up and I will ave about 20kbs for about 5hours and then it drops back. I then dowloaded Limewire and unistalled winmx and that had no affect. System spec: Dell OS XP Home P4 3GHZ Ram 512mb Broadband - 1mbs 510 Alcatel speed touch router I have tried: Network optimizers Broadband tests for various sites including one with my ISP on the phone! Formated my entire pc and installed only Limewire and XP Logged another call with ISP, did more speed test and the results were as follows: 1st Speed test 156kbs on a 512kbs line 2nd speed test with network optimzer added = 182kbs on 512kbs line ISP agrees to look into it no reply in over a week so I will be changing isp after 30days notice expires Did speed test again a week later and speed is = 816kbs and I think they have up graded me to a 1mb line. This has not changed my download speed for lime wire. If I DL and program it starts at about 104kbs and drops down to 9kbs. I can't think of anything else to to try? So please could someone help me. Many thanks Dazed and confused |

| Hi LROTR Thanks for your reply, in your instructions it says to delete the .LW file only if you are running less than version 4.4, I'm running version 4.8.1. ISP - Tiscali UK My java is up to date. I have read in a thread that your isp can block P2P, is that true? Once again cheers for the help. |

| No the 1st 2 apply to any version of LW! including preferences. But what I do notice is Tiscali as your provider. I've read reports of them deliberately slowing p2p users. They are probably filtering you. A no. of people with similar problem have posted on the forum. It's also listed here: ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire If possible change isp providers. I'm not sure how they filter, I think they use special softw that detects p2p programs if I recall. You might try a different port but chances are that might not have any effect. You could also try connecting via proxy. I would put 95% chance that Tiscali are filtering you. Sorry to have to say it but ... Dash it beaten by the one hand master bandit again. lol  |
