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. 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. |

 Huge probs with ISP throttle on LW and P2P Hi This is my first post here and it covers all kinds of issues that I have read about here and on so many other forums that I can't clearly recall what info came from where. But I will try to put my situation down as clearly as possible. First, I have to say that I have been using limewire successfully for years and years now (mostly as an ultrapeer), but now I'm am finally at my wits end. She wont go anymore. Lets see...could be bandwidth? Option settings? Firewall/router probs?, poor performing ultrapeers?, ISP limits?, crappy CPU?...too many to list. But I've tried everything to fix this problem: few search results, downloads wind up at zero, no uploads of the 300 files in the folder at present. 1) Not bandwidth prob: dslreports.com speed test result on 2006-07-15 23:51:58 EST: 5809 / 777 Your download speed : 5809 kbps or 726.1 KB/sec. That is 44.7% better than an average user on rogers.com Your upload speed : 777 kbps or 97.1 KB/sec. That is 16.6% better than an average user on rogers.com 2) not CPU prob: 3.2 Ghz...etc 3) not application prob: Deleted all instances of LW and purchased 4.12.3 a few days ago. (came on strong after install and then took a dump to 0 or 8 or the like) 4) settings prob?: Have tried the various settings in the sticky things. Setting the speed, download file numbers, various filters, ports...etc. another forum suggested changing the port to 1720 which is used by VOip. this worked for a time but then quit. Someone here wrote a thread about using a proxy server, but still working on that one. its new to me. 5) firewall/anti virus prob?:I've worked the XP firewall from all directions with no luck. from allocating gnutella ports above 50,000 for both TCP and UDP to port forwarding with numbers like 1720, 1755...etc. Installing the new LW version got Norton worm protection all fired up and I thought I had finally figured things out....but no, was a simple fix with norton. Have I missed anything? (banging my head on my desk now) And today I read elsewhere that my ISP (Rogers) has fixed it so port selection doesn't matter any longer because now they are using packet headers (or some such jargon) to detect P2P traffic and the only work around is to use bit torrent or some similar app that enables encription of the packets. Thats when my head exploded. So now I am here. Perhaps one of you might have a dim light you could shine shine at the end of my tunnel. Cuz I'm fading fast. sorry it took so long Al.  |

| Unfortunately there isn't allot you can do about shaping technologies other than switch to a different ISP. I do not know if bit torrents will help if they are measuring bandwidth usage. If it were me I would switch providers if another was available. You can try higher ports sometimes they don't monitor them 45,000 or higher but the odds are they probably are.

| Nice clear post Al, but sadly, Grandpa is right about the switching solution. Canadian? Long term solutions to Rogers' packet preferencing involve politics: Since you do a lot of careful reading, see the work Dr. Geist does in leading the way to fair internet usage policy. http://www.michaelgeist.ca/ |

| Throwing my hat into the ring, I suggest you try and switch listening port to 1863, which is used by MSN Messenger Live to transfer files pictures and voice. On this port they might at least allow you some bandwidth use range above the other ports, because they might connect it to the Messenger use....... Just my 5-cent-worth (besides I've just recently done the same and flux, got 50-60 KB back from 0-1 KB.....)
