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 Weird Download Problem.

I'm having this problem downloading on limewire and it's bugging me because I'm not able to see what's going on...

For the last two nights I've been trying to download some episodes from Lost S2 and I've been starting them when I go to sleep and expecting them to be done when I wake up...

The first morning, there was an error message that said something like "Limewire has resulted in..something..." (I forget sorry ) and gave me some options to close the box and maybe repair? However, all I know is that the box was frozen, the entire limewire was frozen, and clicking the popup grayed out the entire box (hence why I can't remember what it said).

Today, same thing happened...I came to my computer, there was a popup, it was all grey, and the only way to do anything was for me to end the limewire process. (And the picture in the task manager had changed from the lime to the java symbol btw >.>)

Now, both days, when I restart limewire I get an error that says "unable to restart old downloads"...

Was wondering if anyone could help me with this...

WinXP SP2
Limewire 4.9.37
Not behind a firewall
Full connection bars always
Java version unknown >.> (not sure where to check)

I see out of memory...that seems odd I have 1GB of PC3200 ram :/

I can't see it being a corrupt download either since both this version (4.10) and my last (4.93?) both had this popup.

*Sigh, is this enough info for someone to help me now?

It appears you Java install was corrupt I jot this same message when I installed 4.10.0 if you follow the instructions below it should clear up the problem at least it did for me. Use the offline installer for java.

LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Please post back and let us know if it worked. If it did not I will give further instructions on manually deleting Java and LimeWire.

You may also want to delete the .limewire file which can be found in C:\Documents and Settings\*yourusername*\Application Data\limewire

You can find instructions in the link below

Merci Grandpa

I removed 5 versions of Java, and just did a general cleanup, uninstalled Limewire, deleted all traces of it, including the .limewire preferences..did a full clean install of all the latest versions using the offline installer. And voila.

Downloads are going great, I'm maxing out my bandwidth with any amount of downloads (too bad its oly 1024 kbps connection), and everything is running smoothly.

Thanks for your help...now the debate is whether or not to upgrade to Pro with the whole lawsuit thing facing limewire..

Well you downloads will be no faster since you are maxing out you connection speed now. Your search results will be slightly better. I myself buy Pro as a gesture of support for the LimeWire team I rarely download unless testing.

But LimeWire has done a great job of developing the fastest P2P software out there and it takes $$ to live. Also if they do happen to go to court it is going to take money for the legal fees. And I strongly believe in what LimeWire has stood for and I myself will continue to support them any way I can.

Hopefully you live in Canada and the exchange rate for $18.88 U.S. is $23.00 C. Because LimeWire Pro is $18.88
