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.

Unhappy No Results!!!!!

I just got LimeWire, and everything has worked fine as far as opening the program and all of my music files were transferred. BUT when I search for a song (by artist OR by song name) I get no results. It doesn't SAY no results, the screen just stays blank. I have a cable modem. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. And it's pretty popular stuff, it's not like anything that would be incredibly hard to find...... Someone help me, please?

Try searching using an Any Type search. Also, try searching Let it be or Imagine & see if you get any results.

I tried it and after 5 minutes "imagine" returned 0 results. It doesn't say "no results" but the box where the name of the search is, gets full, and the results page is just blank. I just tried it again with Let it be...same thing. ??? I want this to work!!

That's an ominous result. It sounds like the problem is your ISP (internet service provider.)

Do you mean numbers of results show up next to the search term, but no results show in the search window? How many numbers of results for example will show up?

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
4. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
5. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
6. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
7. * Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
8. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
9. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
10. Try an experiment; downld a magnet link from this site & tell us what happens: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

The number of results is zero. I think it's my computer...I've been having lots of problems lately...I'm getting a laptop in a couple of weeks, I just bought a Linksys Speedbooster router. I have roadrunner cable modem, I use Windows XP. But I took it to Best Buy a LONG time ago b/c I had spyware and it completely took over my computer. They fixed it but ever since I have not beenm able to get on a secure website AT ALL. I can't buy from E-bay, do online shopping of any kind, online banking, etc. I have the latest java, but I had to manually install it b/c of the "secure" problem. So I'm sure this is is just another problem do to my screwed up processor. The laptop that I am getting will prettyt much totally replace this, except to store files. So hopefully it will work on that.
The page that you sent me to, said that "my test worked" and the magnet link went to my download queue but said it needed more sources....So....hmmmm? Thanks a lot for trying to help me.

Sounds like an ISP shaping issue to me. Sounds just like Insight for example!

Zero search results & downlds dropping to zero as you suggested, suggests a definite ISP blocking/filtering of people who use p2p programs. Do you have other isp options?

The magnet link was from a site, not a home user. That suggests the program is being filtered!!! Specifically the program. Otherwise you'd enjoy over 200 KB/s from that site if your bandwidth allowed it.

I forgot to ask, who is your ISP (internet service provider)?

Roadrunner high speed cable is my ISP. I think it will work when I get my laptop. I really think it's just my computer, b'c I used to be able to do P2P all the time before Best Buy "fixed" it, and ever since then, I've been able to do basic web surfing, but not on secure sites. I also tried to download the new "legal" napster but it wouldn't let me do that either. So HOPEFULLY as soon as my laptop comes in, this will work. The Best Buy guy that I bought it from said VERY OFF THE RECORD...=) that Lime wire was the best. He also "suggested" the if I was interested in "DVD backup" I could google it to find out how, since he couldn't actually tell me with out jeapordizing his job. I know thats off subject, but it was funny at the time.

Default same problem

I'm having the same problem!! There are so search results--even if I search for something popular. I've tried all types. I've tried troubleshooting and fixing my firewall (although it was never a problem before) and I even tried downloading the pro version. NOTHING. I have used the free version for forever and out of nowhere it just stops working. Any suggestions? I'm dyin' here.

4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
