Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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.

kez cap is flying high
Default Lost all progress downloads

Hi,
I have lost all my downloads that were in progress, I downloaded Winamp so I could preview avi files. After I rebooted I started up Limewire (latest version) and I had lost all my incomplete files from the bottom panel, so I redirected the file and found them all again. But they all have no progress % on them , I was back to 0 % progress!!!! . Do I have to start again... this is the second time I've had this problem. I have dumped winamp and did a system restore to clear anything that may have downloaded with it. I couldnt work it at anyway. Also all my downloads had awaiting sources straight away, there was no connecting at all .WT?
Any ideas on the progress loss guys??
Thanks :-)

If & only if you're using LW 4.12 can you resume them from where they were. If your system crashes or some other reason that caused it, going to the Library window, selecting incomplete files & pressing Resume will force them back into the download window. If they start downlding they will resume from where they were. But may show zero % until they do start downlding again.

However, in earlier versions of LW they would always start from zero % after resuming.

Thanks Lord, we'll wait and see if this happens because now all I get is awaiting sources straight away... only maybe 2 connects even though I have set it at 10 at a time. then they all just sit there and dont move. It was fine before the other stuff happened... I have followed the tips about deleting the limewire in applications data etc... to no avail... Am i missing something? :-)

Concentrate on specific files & search their topic again. Try that & see how it goes. One way to see if there's problems is go to the LW Library, incomplete folder & if any are red, it means there may be problems. Perhaps a leftover from a much earlier version of LW.

Doesn't sound good. Tell you what. Go to LW's Library window & select the incomplete folder. Arrange by size by clicking or double-clicking the size column. Then delete those that are zero or less than 30 KB. But you should also delete the same from the downld window for best performance.

There's still the off-chance one (or many more) of those incompletes in red will continue once you search the sources & find the right one. I've had red ones start downlding before. But better to concern it with those already partially downlded than those that have had 1% or less than downlded.

Thanks again Lord, I have deleted 0% from both files. I've notice this morning that even though the ones I had with a % are still 'awaiting sources', in the search part I have a few open (downloading) files, so I'm thinking the program is at least recognising them, it's just not actaully downloading atm...

Default Files Curropted andf progress set to zero...

I have a similar problem in a similar vein....

Limewire 4.12.6 crashed, my system yet again (I have just moved from the now deceased ed2k)...However I am normally just select resume in my incomplete folder and all is well..But not this time...

Those files that were nearly/were 100% grew in size and were reported as having a disk problem...Okay, go to the Incomplete folder and manually use WinRAR to try to fix the archieves and other softs to repair the MPEGS....

However the majority of files appear to have suffered a far worse fate...they have reset to zero...

Approach...
Attempt to redownload and see if they continue where they left off or start from the beginning (a shame - but such is life).

However they are all reporting 'awaiting connections'...Could this just be bad luck/concindence and the files will eventully be availible or are they so curropte the system no longer find sources for them???

Q:So do I keep trying or does the corruption mean I will have to physcially delete the files and then search for them again...????

Ideas anyone

Damon
