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.

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. |

 6.3kbps max on 2.5mbps connection? Hi there guys, I'm having a bit of an irritating problem here.... Anyhow, I have a 2.5mbps connection, right? The connection is very fast when I use it to browse the internet, you know, surfin the web with my firefox.....but the thing is - for some reason, limewire is VERY slow!!! I've only gotten 6.3kbps max!!! Usually it goes up to 80kbps and even more!!!! It's weird - my data allowance has not been capped yet - I still have about 15 gigs of data allowance - so they have not reduced me to 64kbps. My brother have also complained about Azureus being very slow - much like limewire now. But when he's using uTorrent, he said the speed is normal again - up to 50kbps. So, is it a problem with some kind p2p techno-mefob I don't understand? Could anyone please identy my problem, and help me fix it? Thanks in advance!  |

| Download a file from here & see what speeds you get. http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml Who is your ISP? Are you & your brother sharing a connection? You could find out what port number he's using for uTorrent & try using that port for your LW. Tools > options > advanced > firewall config will take you to the page where you can change LW's listening port. Remember, if you change port numbers, you'll also have to change numbers for any port forwarding that's in place & also ports allowed within your software firewall  |

| My ISP is ihug, "the best internet provider in New Zealand" although they are cheap, their customer service is the worst I've ever seen in my whole entire life, and there are occasional problems with their connections. And lol, I have no idea what you are talking about ports....I do not understand. Can you please explain it to me like I'm an 80 year old grandpa?  |

| First of all, try downloading a magnetmix file from that link & see how fast it downloads. As WW asked... do you see the firewall icon? (I think the worst customer service award must go to iPrimus, here in Oz!!) |

| OK, tried the magnetmix thingie video....and guess what? it downloaded at 0kbps!!! Although it starterd on 3kbps for 2 secs, than 2kbps for 1 sec, than 0kbps, and OCCASIONALLY goes to 1kbps, then it drops back down to 0kbps. And nope, I can't see any walls blocking my poor limewire.... As for the worst ISP, guess how many minutes I had to wait until there was an "available customer representative" to talk to me? 46 minutes!!! And they didn't solve my problem!!! They said my question was not in his 'department' and someone in that department was out for his 'lunch'.....talk about TERRIBLE customer service!!! |

| Those magnetmix files should download really quickly. If they don't, it can point to a problem with the ISP. I can't find any info about ihug blocking or shaping p2p, though. How many green connection bars do you have? (I phoned to upgrade my plan. To pay more money. I spoke to 3 different customer disservice officers. All 3 times I was put on hold & then disconnected after 15 minutes.) |

| Hmmm....there's definitely something wrong then? I always end up either on "Excellent" or "TurboCharged" after a minute or two for my LimeWire connection.... Hehe, the world of the ISP is a bad one, ain't it? |

| If your connection is that good & you're finding results ok then I'd be a bit suspicious of the ISP. If you want to try changing ports, go tools > options > advanced > firewall config. You'll see LW's listening port in the top right corner of the page. You can change that to either the port number your brother's using for uTorrent (he should be able to find out what port he's using) or try a port number between 49152 - 65535. Change the number & apply to save the change. Are you forwarding a port through your router? If you are, then you'll have to change the port number you used within your router configuration & also change the port number chosen in the 'manual port forward' option on that same page with the listening port number. If you're not port forwarding then don't worry about this bit. Now also change the port numbers allowed within your software firewall (you would have had to set that up when you first started using LW). All the port numbers you use should be the same as the LW listening port. There's no guarantee that this will work, but it does for some people. |

| Eeeerr....You've lost me....what program do I use to change the port? Limewire itself? |
