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.

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. |

 Unable to sustain downloads Hi Gurus of LimeWire, I tried to search the forum for my issue and couldnt find the same. 4give me if its not the right place or point to the right source Here is the situation. I have a Cable/DSL connection with a modest 30 KBPS speed. I select the files I need to download. LW tries to do its work at its best. Then as the night progresses, I shut down my monitor, deactivate my screensaver and go to bed assured that by morning my downloads would be complete. However every morning I find that none of the downloads have completed and LW has frozen. The interesting point to note here is that if I am sitting on the computer say for more than 6 hours using LW, it will never freeze or give any problems. Is there something that I need to do to make the d/l happen or FW also goes to sleep with me? Any help or suggestions will be of gr8 help. I use WinXP with 256MB RAM, 40 GB HDD, PIII @ 750 MHz. No issues on using LW, only that downloads dont continue after a long time of inactivity on the computer? I'm busted! Regds  |

 What version of Java are you using? Remove your old version & update using the offline installer here http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Also follow the advice here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...es+downloading You could also try disabling ultrapeer capabilities (tools > options > speed) & reducing the number of simultaneous downloads... cut it back to just a couple & see how it goes  Do you have more files downloading through the night than when you're at the computer during the day? |

| Hi Birdy, Thanks for your response. I've the same version of Java that came with LW. Also I have disabled "ultrapeer". I d/l the same number of files at any point of time. I read the link mentioned on computer freezing. My computer doesnt freeze. Only LW does. I can still run other apps. LW shows a white screen and doesnt refresh at all. TaskMan shows the application as running. What I'll do is try to d/l maybe 1/2 files tonight and get back tomorrow with the results. Thanx  |

 Hi Birdy, Thanx again for the link and prompt response. I am at work now and cant check the Java version. Will get back to you on this. And I went through the link you gave. It talks about freezing at startup. I dont have a prblm at startup. I have used it for more than 6 hours at one go without any issues. It only happens when I switch of the monitor. Anyway, I have a SiS 630 card, AGP disabled, with the latest drivers from SiS. Will try to uninstall them and use WinXP ones. Also, I have 16MB shared RAM which I think should be enough for LW. BTW, I use the Classic LW skin. Does that have something to do with this? What surprises me is that when I am sitting in front of my comp, LW works fine, when I go to sleep, it somehow just does what I do !  Thnx. Will get back to you with the info ASAP. regds |

| Have been having the same problem the last few days. I run LW, all is well for half an hour or so and I use other programs or surf. Then when I go back to LW all I get is a blank screen. Task manager says its still running but in the processes function it shows it as using none of the processor. Has been running ok for the last few hours but has been a frustrating couple of days. Am running 4.12.3 pro. Did the same as shuvro last night and same result, LW froze. Never had too many problems before, am wondering if its anything to do with the latest version as I only installed it a few days ago. |

 Hello Everyone, Good news at last Got LW to work the whole night and complete the d/ls. Here is what I did. I didnt make any changes with the monitor driver. I had reduced the d/l speed to 80% of my bandwidth, increased the number of simultaneous connections to 50, but d/l only 3 files. Also I had disabled Norton AV since it would give an security alert every 10 secs. for some port being accessed. I thought it would be better to run NAV after all d/ls are complete. Anyway, I didnt share any folders so that my computer will get into any trouble.Also ensure that you defrag your HD atleast once a week. Increase the cache size to atlest 3 times your physical RAM. Well hope this will continue today. Will try again tonite and let you all know if it worked and this is the solution to the problem Cheers!!! |
