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.

Default Corrupt Files

I've already read like 11 pages on another topic on corrupt files but I still can't stop Limewire from saying everything I download is corrupt. I know so many people who have no problems so can somebody tell me how to stop these annoying messages saying everything's corrupt.
Thank you in advance for any help given.
I'm using the latest version of Limewire, Windows XP, I have McAfee Internet Security Suite 2004.

Another problem...
If it isn't corrupt, it says something like ''queued position 2'' then I wait for 20 minutes and still nothing happens.

Be careful what you downld!!! Have a very careful look at the file before you choose it to downld. Not sure if this is the thread you were refering to but see THIS post (click on link)

QUEUED = your Limewire is too busy to handle that file. ie: advice is not to downld too many files at once. And don't use the Resume/Find Sources button on more than one or 2 files at one time.

Well most times I try to download something, it is always corrupt.
Example I was trying to download *****, I tried 10 different hosts and all of them were corrupt. I have my settings exactly the same as other people I know and it still comes up with corrupt file.

At the moment I'm trying to download some guitar lessons and having the same trouble

I wonder how many of you guys are running McAfee security. From the moment I installed it, EVERY file I tried to download was corrupt. I have just now uninstalled it, logged onto Limewire, PRESTO. No more corrupt files. Maybe coincidence, maybe not.

Good point Nobba! AV & some other anti-? utilities have been known to corrupt as have been some older routers/modems. If the issue is not the original file & its source then utility softw & equipment might need looking at.

Default corrupt files

i just started using limewire and i've been getting the same "corrupt file" pop-up for everything i download, and for a lot of them it ends up not working, but if i always say that i dont care and want to continue downloading sometimes it does work. something else i noticed is that if you start downloading it and you try to preview it and no preview plays, its probably not gonna play after its done downloading. thats what i've noticed anyways.

Ya I noticed the same problem with corrupt files, espcecially more recently. I think the problem may be that all the "T3 or higher" downloads are corrupt but my problem is that sometimes those are the only results I get, especially for more popular songs, but I know that there are def. cable/dsl users out there with the songs I want so how come they don't show up? Is there a way to block all T3 users because they NEVER work??

Hi guys. Sorry, but it WAS my McAfee security. 3 days on, I have downloaded over 1 gig in files, music, video and programmes, NO corruption. Check your security settings.

I've just set my mom's computer up with Lime Wire and am facing this problem.

She's running Avast, but that's it.
