Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

 dsl faster than broadband??? I just want to know why the hell my dsl downloads are at 150 kbs and my broadband downloads are at 5kbs... in this world of technology...i thought broadband is faster.... maybe someone from this site or lime wire themselves can answer this question for us???? I see many, many, many people are saying the same thing...Why are the downloads so slow?? and no one has an answer. Extremely frustrating!! Let me know if someone finds out what the hell is going on with limewire...   |

| The reason is your sources for the downld usually. Unless your isp provider has a p2p sharing filter program to detect & filter users who use programs like LW. Ones like this one http://www.sandvine.com/products/p2p_element.asp See the following link & follow all the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help solve your problem: To continue files downlding (click on link) * Try downlding a magnet link from here & see what speeds you get: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml See Stief’s example: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...692#post138692 of what speeds you can potentially get from that magnet site. |

| http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=5 read the last two posts. look I'm only a user of this stuff. I have no idea how it works, but it works for me. I suffer from the delusion that dsl and broadband are much the same. This is a p2p application and if you've got the fastest connection in the world, it will only download stuff from another host at whatever rate they can upload at. There a ways to get fast downloads and the answers are in the forums and you can search for such things using the search button above right. You may have done that as I see you posted at the end of another long thread, but your question there did not invite a helpful response either, nor did it give the impression that you had read a great deal of the thread. If you have a question for the forum please make it a polite one. And you will get a polite and (hopefully) helpful answer.

| If you downlded a magnet link from that site at 10 KB/s & you have much greater abilities than this, then it sounds suspicious. If it's not your isp that's filtering you then it's your set up. The link I gave above does give lots of hints but you need to read all of the off-shoot links also. |

| Phone your isp & tell them to stop filtering your use of p2p! That sounds like your problem.   Tell them to get their act together. (People at front desk often don't know or won't tell you if they're filtering or not.) |
