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.

You say nothing about your OS your p2p application or anything!!! but I'll make a guesss that your downloads are saved on your desktop and whilst they are downloading an incomplete folder appears .... because the file is ... incomplete.

Anyway ...please read the forum rules, chose the correct forum, check all the stickies for that forum, and then post back ion the correct forum with a clearer description of your equipment and preference settings.

The desktop is a very poor choice of locations to downld to. For a start is puts pressure upon the startup system since it's upon the same partition/disk AFAIK (for mac anyway.)

What you should do is downld to a folder within your account folder upon your computer, then create a shortcut/alias & put that upon your desktop. In any case, you can go to the LW Library window & select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button & it will open the folder up for you.

To answer you question, you probably can't delete the folder/file because someone is uplding a file from it. Particularly if you have the option for share partially downlded files active. You wouldn'lt be able to delete the main LW folders such as the downld folder or incomplete folder whilst LW is open. Close LW down before you make changes like that. Change your preferences settings before you make changes.

After just rereading your post, it means you are definitely downlding to a folder on your desktop. Yes all the incomplete files will be stored within a folder called incomplete at the same directory level (in this case the desktop.) The downld folder & incomplete folder are necessary & will be within the same directory level (under same parent) wherever you set your downld folder to be. Partial downlds will go to the incomplete folder. Once they are 100% downlded, LW will move them to your downld folder, but not until they are 100% downlded. Your errors are due to either setting your downld folder to the desktop or for tampering with the incomplete folder, etc. which is a necessary folder for LW to function properly.

BTW the LW sections are found here: Limewire Forum sections & don't forget to read the Forum Rules (click here)

Default Big Thanks

thanks for your smart comments only a hobo and lord of the rings.

as you probably could tell from my FIRST AND ONLY post, im not familiar with limewire and was looking for some advice.

os and p2p applications are foreign to me, and I wasn't sure which forum to put my query in, so I went for a general discussion forum, this being the obvious one to go for if you are not familar with the forums.

all I wanted was a little advice from someone who knows a bit more on this subject than me.

just to set the record straight, I DID NOT tamper with any of the settings. I DID install version 4.8 as version 4.9 was rubbish. It was once I installed the older version that this fault occured.

So once again thanks for your help.

Is there anyone else out there that could help somone less fortunate with this query? Any genuine help you can give would be much appreciated.

regards djdoci
