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.

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. |

 Unable to restart downloads This has happened quite often, that after exiting Limewire to reboot the computer that Limewire was unable to restart my downloads. I started off with version 4.4.4.1 and now have 4.6.0.1. It is quite heartbreaking especially waiting for 4 days for a film that was only halfway. Is there any way one can manually restart the downloads. It wasn't just one download, its the entire lot everytime. Could somebody please shed some light on what is happening. I would greatly appreciate any help.  |

| What do you mean unable to restart downloads? Do you mean they don't begin by themselves or you get an error message saying unable to load old incomplete downloads? If the latter then try: Try these: Fixes for Limewire & before next time you turn you computer off, make a copy of the download.dat & bak files which can be found in the incomplete folder. Then after rebooting & opening LW, if the same problem, close LW & replace those download.dat & bak files with the copies. Otherwise tell us more details. |

| Thanks for replying, Lord of the Rings, when I say I am unable to restart my downloads, there in the LW program it is blank where my downloads used to be, but the incomplete downloads are still show in the incomplete folder, it just doesn't want to load up in the program. I am using windows xp sp2, and as I mentioned previously the lastest version of LM which I installed about 2 weeks ago. Anyway, I will go through the points discussed in the fixes for Limewire. Hopefully it will work. |

| Normally if LW refuses to load old incompletes it will give a warning it can't load them. I'm wondering if your download window is hidden. Two options: 1. Click on the small arrows on the LW main window. If that doesn't work click it the other arrow. 2. Drag the partition up or sideways; see examples here: Example A (click on link) & also Example B (click on link) |

| I pressed the arrows, there is nothing. The old downloads are all gone. When I had gone into LW the other time there had been a window that popped up to say sorry Lime Wire was unable to load and restart all my downloads, and the box where the downloads normally were, was empty. Like I mentioned before its not the first time its happened but I thought that when I upgraded to the latest version my problems would be solved. |

| After you finish for the session, close LW & go to your incomplete folder (reiterating the above.) Duplicate the two files called download.dat & download.bak & move them somewhere else on the computer outside of the incomplete folder. After you've rebooted & opened LW, when the same problem occurs, close LW. Then go to your incomplete folder & delete the two files download.dat & download.bak & replace them with the copies you made (making sure the names are the same.) Now open LW again, is it the same problem? Does this happen everytime or just sometimes? By the way did you try deleting your LW Preferences? (instructions above in the link 'Fixes for LW') Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98, or XP SP1 or SP2, etc.) 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...) |

| The problem happens sometimes. No I haven't deleted my LW Preferences. I uninstalled the previous version and installed 4.6.0 pro. I did delete everything in the incomplete download folder everytime I lost my downloads in LW,although this last time I left all the incompleted downloads. I am new to LW, I have always used DC Plus and before that Kazaa. Never had the problem then. Here is a total description of my set up 1. Windows XP home edition SP2 2. Not activated, but do have Nortons antivirus 2005. 3. Ram 511 MB 4. HDD space available 43.2 GB 5. Connection type - Broadband 6. Modem - Bewan ADSL ethernet, Router Linksys Wrt54G 7. Connecting from Home 8. LW version 4.6.0 Pro and Java 1.5.0_01 |

| I wonder about Norton AV settings. Even though your XP Firewall is disabled, may I suggest you configure LW's access thru it just to be on the safe side: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtm Might I suggest you delete your LW Preferences folder b/c it may be corrupt which is causing these issues. Instructions here: Fixes for Limewire Also, go to LW's menu Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & tell me what it's set to. Is it UPnP? After LW's been open for at least 30 mins, do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is it True/False? |

| The firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service is not running - this is the message I get when I check my XP Firewall settings. If I delete my LW Preferences folder now, will it affect my current downloading? If you tell me it won't I will do it now. LW's menu Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls is set to UPnP The bug report is True |

| That's good about your test result. That means your router uses UPnP tecnology. The download preferences are those called download.dat & bak in the incomplete folder (ie:different files in different location.) So deleting the main LW preferences folder will not affect them at all. But LW must be closed when you delete the Prefs folder. Follow the instructions in the link (there's an easy image to follow at bottom of that page) & you'll find it quick & easy to do. |
