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.

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. |

 Why Speeds Are Slow. Hey all frustrated Limewire Basic/Pro users. Are you having the following problems? => Poor Connection my Limewire would load up and the connection would either be "connecting" or "poor". Couple time I got Turbocharged but usually once I started a search it would go back to "connecting" => Slow Download Speeds we went from 50-60kbs to 0-3kbps in a day. It was actually slower than our old 28.8kbps dial-up. It was very frustrating because we had just got 512kbps Satelite plan. It worked VERY fast for the first month. Now, I have spent 4 months trying to get it faster. I have researched this forum and site like you wouldn't believe and tried ALL possible fixes, to no avail. The funny thing is that it was slow 0-3kbps at home on satelite yet 50kbs+ here in town at my parents work on ADSL 512kbps plan. So I finnaly put it down to either the computer at home or the satelite modem. So I brought the computer from home and installed and hooked up the ADSL cable. Guess what happened? Limewire automatically went to Turbocharged and I was downloading songs consistently at 40kbs+ and up to 60kbs. That means that the problem is not Limewire OR any settings whatsoever. I thought I may as well muck around with the settings to see if they affected it and they didn't at all. Same fast speeds and huge searches. So it is obvious the satelite modem is too blame. I am pretty certain that about 1 month on the satelite OptusNet (one of the biggest ISP's here in Australia) blocked certain programs/ports from accepting and sending connections in the modem and therefore making Limewire not work. Funny thing is that on the Optusnet site in the FAQ area there was a question regarding the throttling of P2P. It said that because of alot of traffic using P2P that they were throttling it. Then underneath is had an aterisk and said "Optusnet does no longer filter or throttle P2P..." Then I go to have a look at exactly what it is so I can show my mum so she can get onto them, and guess what? I cannot find that page! I am sure they are filtering it and our satelite modem is a prime example! So what my point is, if you are experiencing the problems above like limited connection and very slow downloads, it's most likely your ISP and not Limewire! We are in an 18 month contract on the satelite so I can't see what we can do.  Just have to use Limewire in town at work.Hope everyone reads this before being mad about Limewire, because it's not the version that matters, I have Limewire Basic on this computer and it flies! So I went with Pro at home and it will no work because of the modem restrictions/blocks. Lord Of The Rings- Could maybe a mod make this sticky so people can understand and not ask the same questions time and time again. Believe me, I know how frustrating it is when Limewire won't download things, I spent months trying to fix it. YOUR PROBLEM IS YOUR ISP! Hope this helps!  |
