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. |

 The same happened to me, but not just in Limewire. I could get up to 30KB/s on my downloads in Limewire and Shareaza and now suddenly the highest speed i can reach in either is about 5KB/s. Normal FTP/HTTP downloads and browsing websites are fine, its just the P2P thats slowed down..  I also have an ADSL connection  |

| your isp may be filtering/throttling p2p technology. tips: download files that have the most sources available. download files from a range a speeds. if you download only from t1/t3 sources, sometimes these t1/t3 sources get overloaded with people and there up speed suffers. downloading from a cable or modem user will sometimes be faster than those overloaded t1/t3 sources. |

| chimpboy7uk I am assuming you are using ADSL since before you got 40kb you said modem which would be 56k and 5 or 6kb would be a good speed for 56k. Have you done a speed test lately.If so what were the results. A little more information would be helpful. http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ OS, Windows 98/2000/XP CPU, P4 3.0 GHz/AMD 64 3200+Ghz Memory, 256MB/512MB Video card & platform Radion/Nvidia Connection, Dial-up/DSL LimeWire Version 4.8.1/4.9.11 Java Version 1.4.2/1.5.4 Are you using a router, Brand/Model# What firewall you use if any What Antivirus if any Are you new to LimeWire or Experienced An accurate description of your problem

| grandpa, okay did that speed test, it said Download speed is 36kbps and Upload speed is 79kbps. (surely not right) My details are: OS windows xp CPU P4 3.0 ghz Memory 384mb of ram connection is DSL (sorry) Limewire 4.9.23 Antivirus is McAfee Firewall is McAfee java see below Im relatively new to Limewire, went with Pro from the start. No probs until now. I have a basic understanding. Work away so havent used Limewire for 2wks,(got back wed) Limewire asked me if I wanted 2 update. said yes. Lime wire looked the same but had new icons at the bottom. Then noted that speed was low. Followed your link (updated java) Limewire looks different, light blue colour... at first when activated speeds seem okay, maybe up to about 20-30 kbs but will slowly reduce after ten mins I check and its now staying roughly at 2kbps. I deactivated when ever I made any of the changes. Oh yeah just remembered!! - when I first updated, my internet connection closed of its own accord a few times, interfering with limewire ofcourse. Also kept getting a internet dial-up box that I had never seen before, that would just pop up out of nowhere. Anyway think thats everything.... Thanx for taking the time grandpa, any help is much appreiated chimpboy7uk |

| If you know how try resetting your DSL modem usually disconnecting it from the power source for 30 seconds will work. Try resetting it I do not know that this will fix your problem but it may. I know that it helps with my router I get the same lopsided speed test you got when it needs to be reset. but I have never had to reset my modem. Also did you check with your ISP to see if they recently started filtering p2p networks.
