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.

Mate, I decided to use my spare 17gb hdd, wipe it and install my XP.

I then installed all my software (Office 2003, Nero, ZoneAlarm etc) then reinstalled LW.

It works perfect - plus for the 1st time i got 148kbps on a download!

Now I have to decide to wipe my original 80gb hdd and start from scratch.

This coming from a Systems Officer (Analyst / Programmer) who could charge mega bucks but does not.

So this means that the ONLY way of curing LW is to reformat and begin again!

You have now got the firm base (an uncorrupted operating system) to install Limewire. Congrats on the download speed.

You are not gonna believe this...after reformatting and installing LW Pro, I downloaded 5 mp3s this evening and then LW crashed and pc rebooted.

LW must have some severe issues! This HDD has been cleaned, XP installed, Anti Virus plus McAfee and ZoneAlarm.

Will anyone please tell me what else I can do?

What about the upload / download bandwidth as regards 1mb broadband from telewest?

I need urgent help FAST.

steve

p.s. I was "s_muttley" before!

@ Muttley66: your system hardware is bad. Check for your RAM modules (there are software that diagnostic those, search google) or/and your moderboard. If it is not a bad RAM module, something must be overheating.

Bonne chance

How can something be overheating? I am not into hardware myself - software programmer.

The board cpu and memory were bought in january and as far as I seen, nothing was tampered with.

It appears to be only LW which causes problems. Winmx, Kazaa, Bit Torrent, Bit Lord etc do not cause problems.

It may be because LW uses Java, which Java is not RAM efficent and uses VM.

This can cause heat conduction, by using the RAM and Hard Drive more than the system is used to. This might be caused several different ways. Manufacturing defects that don't manifest themselves, until the machine is put under a load. An Improper or Inadequate cooling system. Under powered power supply --- the system needs more power than the power supply can provide. The last item sounds like it may be the probable cause --- Most power supplies have a thermal safety switch, which, when it over heats it will stop supplying power, until it resets, causing the system to reboot. There may be other similar safety features within your system that have the same function.

Hope this helped explain things about overheating a little better.

Does this mean that mu psu could be at fault? If yes, how can the psu be tested?

I could take it back to the shop where it was bought BUT I would need to be sure of a fault in the unit first.

any more help please?

Well I don't think you have the proper test equipment to do that.

But this might be a simple way to check.

Using your default mp3 player. Select a song and play it. Turn the volume all the way up on the mp3 player, also turn the volume all the way up on your speakers. Cover ears if needed and warn anyone around.

Watch your display. If it fades in and out with the rythym of the music, that is an indication that the power supply is being stressed.

It might also duplicate your problem.

Overclocking: daft question...how is this possible?

I run a sempron 2400 and, since my mate (fixes pcs) installed it with me watching, we never fiddled with any jumper settings.

It seems that LW runs helluva fast (some mp3s download at incredible speed compared to my original HDD).

This "tester" hdd was reformatted remember!

I do not want rid of LW...no way!

how can you tell if a cpu is overclocked?
