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. |

 I need help downloading files I've had limewire for about a year and 1/2 ever since i've had dial-up but I recently upgraded to about 400mbps broadband and ever since then the files that I click to download normally have 0kbps next to the file being downloaded and even though I have a number of good hosts for the files i'm downloading it never seems to pick up and during that time i am not even browsing the internet or doing anything to lag my download. sometimes the file will download partially but will time out say things like : need more sources/ waiting in line etc. I looked that limewires site for help hints and I allowed people to access my gnutella network in my firewall settings. I am running windows xp and have a firewall. I would apprieciate it if someone would help me with this problem because this problem has occured on other p2p clients and i would like to continue my filesharing i have the free version of limewire 4.10.9  |

| What about your connection status... how many green bars? Do this test & see what result you get http://www3.limewire.com:6346 Do you use a modem or any other connection device between your computer & antenna? If so can you tell us the brand & model? Have you made sure that your software firewall's still configured properly? Firewall setup There's some info here about sattelite probs http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...274#post189274 |

| Is XP the only firewall you have? If yes, recheck your settings. If you have another firewall then decide between either XP or the other firewall as it's not advisable to run 2 firewalls simultaneously. Most firewall companies give the same advice. You could try changing the listening port for LW to one between 49152 - 65535 Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall to make the change to the listening port. |

| Hmmm... have a read of this. It suggests to me that Avolve are using trafffic shaping technology & this may well be why your downloads are so, so slow. http://www.logisense.com/pr/engageip.pdf As for your adapter, I don't have a clue  but I don't think it would be causing a firewall problem?? Somebody else may know! As long as your XP firewall's configured correctly & you aren't using any other connection devices (high speed modems & routers often have an internal firewall)... I really don't know where your firewall would be coming from. Did you get any firewall protection from your ISP when you upgraded from dial up?? Just double check that you don't have a second firewall!You could try changing ports, there are instructions within the satellite thread I gave you earlier. Damn... beaten again. |
