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. |

 Slow downloads, and Very few results i just bought a new computer (compaq, winXP, cable modem) and got limewire basic again (it worked beautifully before for many months until my computer irrepairably crashed in March, i just bought this new one saturday). i have a turbocharged connection but when i search i either get no or very few results and when i try downloading, it will say i'm downloading from 4 or 5 hosts but at 0/kps and says 25:00:00 or something like that. example: search- Bright Eyes results-61 i've turned off firewall, i've checked port, i have tried adjusting download % in options, i deleted .limewired file and reset it, i've tried everthing i know to do.... it's been like this for 4 days... Please help  |

| Exactly the same I got Limewire Pro, broadband connection and a max Kb/s of 4!!! I think Limewire should change their tagline from 'Faster than Kazaa'..... to 'Turbocharged Broadband...yet slower than a Kazaa dial up!!!' Theres loads of techy-types offering completely unrelated promotional blurbs but I am yet to see an explanation, a remedy or a time related suggestion/viable alternative |

| Debating I'm thinking of going back to Kazaa for a little while. These slow downloads and minimal searches lately just sucks dung. Limewire should either fix this issue or post something to ease the tension from us small-time users. |

| Um guys... Is this the right java thingy to install to run limewire?--> Java Web Start Version 1.42_08(build b03)? Cos i have a feeling its not lol... I know for a fact that when u install limewire, Java would be automatically installed...However during my installation, it hung and i installed the Java platform manually...So could I have installed the wrong Java platform? |

| is there no one out there that has any advice for us...please... is this a problem that the whole limewire community is having or is it just a few of us having the very same problem...i have had virtually no improvement all week (last night i had like two songs download at 2 - 3/kbs, but after that it's back to 5 or 6 hosts at 0/kbs)...someone mentioned that it might be because of the new java...if that's so, how can we get the older version??? i am open to any suggestions. |

| solution Hey Guys! I felt your pain only a few days ago! There is a solution, but it will take some time and some reading as there are no quick answers here. The thread I have attached is rather lengthy, but after reading it ALL, my downloads went from a 0Kb-4Kb to 30Kb-80Kb almost instantly! Basically it boils down to setting up your upload/download bandwidth properly to suit your computer. I didn't know a kilobite from a bug bite until I read the thread. I assure you, most of you are explaining the same issues I had, just take the time and educate yourself. I wish you all luck! Michael http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27036 |
