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. |

 Also slow download speeds Hiya Up until a few days ago, my typical download speed for many months was around 110K/sec. Now Limewire seems to have a max download speed of about 22K/sec! I reset to defaults, no change. My web browser download speed is still ok, above 100K/sec. My ISP is Pipex UK. How can I tell if my ISP is somehow limiting my P2P download speed? Is this possible? Tried changing the listening port, no effect. Thanks  |

| Give them a call & ask them... you might find they'll give you a straight answer. Have a look at this thread, it's started by someone else who uses Pipex http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ighlight=pipex Try downloading a file from here & see what speeds you get http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml  |

| Thanks I followed the thread and found a link to a Pipex statement which effectively says that their fair use policy allows them to tinker with what we download (however, at off peak times - midnight to 6am, we are welcome to do what we want). http://www.pipex.net/legal/changes-faq.php As my web browser downloads still downloads at a fast speed, I wonder how Pipex is able to selectively cap Limewire? Does it affect all gnutella applications? Does it affect other networks? |

| I'm having exactly the same problem. I've upgraded to the new beta version of Limewire and that's no better. TBH, this happened a while back just as my 6 months of free updates ended (coincidence?). I paid the tenner again and the download speeds immediately shot back up to 234 kb/s. I've only recently done this so have no clue why it's so slow. It can't be capped by the ISP as I can download at normal speeds using the internet and other download programs. Anyone got any thoughts? |

| OK, I'm not a techie so some advice would be helpful here. I've checked the statistics section of limewire and it appears that Limewire is only downloading from http content. I am getting absolutely no activity from the gnutella network. Is that how it is supposed to work? I've never checked before so if someone can check where their activity is it would be most appreciated. If there is supposed to be activity on the gnutella side of it does anyone have any clue why there wouldn't be? Can i fix it anyhow? |

| Rang Pipex Pipex confirmed that they are throttling P2P usage. Despite what is said on http://www.pipex.net/legal/heavy-usage.php, this throttling is in force during off-peak times as well i.e. all the time! The customer services person I spoke to sounded so pathetic trying to justify th e policy, I had to let him off the hook - poor guy!  But I don't think I'll stay with Pipex out of pity. |
