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.

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. |

 Your user account probably doesn't have write access to the downloads temporary folder. Create a new one and configure LimeWire to use it. Any folder you create under your own account should work. |

| You should have mentioned which operating system you were using in your 1st post as the forum rules stipulate. I would suggest "if" you are the admin of your computer, select the folder you chose to downld to & check the permissions & ownership of that folder. Then go to the iTunes music library folder, check the ownership of that folder. Make the iTunes ownership the same as the folder you created to downld to. ie: select the folder, ⌘ - i & click the arrow next to the Details & check ownership AND check whether you can read & write or only read. Make sure it's BOTH read & write!!! Oh & if it's locked, you'll need to click the lock & enter your password to make changes. And apply if necessary to enclosed items.

| this is the tread I was looking for! Please explain I am new at the forum but a 2.5 year LIM Wire user. I tried to understand your instructions but I am IGNORAMUS. I do not know where to access these write access folders???Temporary folders??? Even with your image it says nothing to me. I just posted a a new thread before in this matter. I am not posting all over the place. This is a response to my similar situation. Incase I will explain: I have DISK PROBLEM after trying to download mostly video files I have sufficient HD space Windows Millennium Operating system(yes the dino) DSL High Speed Most recent LW release basic I just deleted ALL my temporary incomplete files and the downloads seem to be working compared to before: I would immediately get DISK ERROR 100% when in fact they never downloaded 100%. I noticed them in my incomplete folder multiple times and taking up huge amounts of space! So I decided to delete everything in the incomplete folder and miraculously as we speak, it seems to be downloading with no errors...I do not want to jinx myself! BUT...I feel this might be a temporary solution. I really want to understand your suggestions and solutions!  |

| My instructions were for folder permissions within Mac OSX, but Aaron's advice was for windows. That's why you didn't understand my instructions. Which version of LW are you using? You say you have lots of space, but do you mean on the partition you're saving your downlds to or your computer overall. For windows, it's very important to defragment frequently when you're constantly saving & resaving files to your hard disk drive. Also delete your Preview files from your incomplete folder (ie: everytime you preview a video or audio file, it leaves a preview file in the incomplete folder called PREVIEW-filename. For video files, this can take up considerable space.) For windows issues I'm not the best one to ask. |

 Thanks LOTR... HI, Ms ignoramus here again! LOL! I am on Windows, and I will try defraging my disk where LW doanloads all. I noticed so many incomplete files that never get lost...taking up space as well. Could this be contributing to the DISK PROBLEM? I really want to resolve this asap. It has been dragging for months now. Whoever has the suggestions... describe as simply as you can. I am no wiz, I do what I can and get by all on my own... but somethings like fixing programming arrrghh...not for me! Waiting for response!  |

| I too am having this problem. My save folder has always been on my 750 GB external hard drive with over 600 gig free. I started getting the Disk Problem message this morning so I moved everything to my 500 GB external drive that has been freshly formatted and empty prior to the move. I get the same error message. I have used both drives for saving in the past with no problems. I have not scheduled any downloads in several days so I doubt the queue is a problem. I am the administrator of this computer so THAT is not a problem. My problem is not intermittent. Every download gets stuck and none get through. I am running XP Pro with 2 gig memory. |
