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.

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. |

 limewire is crapping out Well for the past few weeks, my limewire has been downloading songs super slow (takes like 2 days to download one song) or it doesn't even download at all. Just says "need more sources" Why isn't my limewire working?  |

| What's your connection speed? You can do a speed test to find out http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest?more=1 Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall)? Download a file from here & see what speed you get http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml Try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's closed (points 2 & 3 below) Fixes for LimeWire What are your details? OS(Win XP etc) LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see) Firewall you're using Modem/router brand & model ISP Connection type (DSL etc) Where you connect from (home, school, student accommodation etc) Are you sharing a connection with other computers Is this your first try with LW Have you tried other p2p apps & if so, do you have the same problem |

| Ok, and what about the rest? Did you try the things I suggested? If files sit connecting for ages then go to need more sources, they're probably fake files, especially if they have lots of sources. Use the forum search to look for fake files & you'll find lots of info. |

| Hey man, Same problem. Here's my specs: High Speed Wireless (through Platinum Communications, formerly Canopy Canada) In Canada - around 237 kbps Windows XP Limewire Basic 4.12.6 Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0_06 Avast! Anti-Virus Zone Alarm Firewall Router - D-Link 802.11g/2.4 GHz good connection From Home Tried Morpheus, same problem as well, tries to download from host, and then downloads unbearably slow (under 1 kbps, usually so low it says 0 kbps) I am sure that these are not the bad downloads, since the ones i tried aren't popular (Dimmu Borgir...Isis...Neurosis) and they only had one or two hosts. I downloaded from only high speed (no modem) ones. Just finished deleting .limewire under application data. Oh yeah, and I tried it with Zonealarm off, but didnt try with avast off, im not that risky  . It used to work fine a month ago, but now it seems to be "not working."There are 5 bars filled (excellent limewire connection) and there is no brick wall by the picture of the world. For example: I just tried to download "Burn" by Neurosis from a T3 or higher, and am getting one kilbyte per second, down to about .1 now. Any idea what would cause this? Thanks |

| Hi bigfootspartan, download one of the magnet mix files & see what speed you get, there's a link in my first post. You might want to update your Java, the latest JRE is update 9. There's a link for download in the same thread with the pref folder instructions. Just remember to uninstall your old Java version before installing the new one & use the offline installer!

| Hey, It's a bit better, around 2.1 kbps while the other ones jumped up to about 1.2 kbps. I already deleted the .limewire folder in but could not find the one in application data, though i did get into application data, there was no limewire folder there, ust anvil studio, morpheus, adobe etc. Thanks for the help so far! Matt |

| Yeah sorry, I realised you'd deleted the prefs folder but didn't edit my post in time, I guess  The folder in Application Data's hidden...you'll have to show hidden files & folders before you'll see it. Those files from magnetmix should download pretty fast. And since you've tried other p2p & had the same problem, it could be something to do with your ISP. Is there a monthly download limit for your plan? If you've exceeded that, your speeds might drop (you'd have to check this out with the ISP). I can't find anything in Platinum's acceptable use policy to say that they'll zap your bandwidth if they think you're using too much but...doesn't always mean it's not happening. Did you update the Java? Try & find that hidden folder & delete it, might make a difference. |

| Hey, I updated to ava update 9, and deleted the folder, but its still not working any faster. When I download from the java website for example, im getting 50+ kbps, so i think taht Platinum might just have blocked all P2P traffic (though im not sure how they would manage to do that). Thanks for your help though, and if you have any more ideas of what could be wrong just let me know..much appreciated. Matt |
