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. |

 Crazy Slow Downloads.. yea.. another thread.. read..  OK.. I Know this has been posted,.. several times, and I've seen nothing other than the same responses time and time again.. So here's the deal.. I had limewire pro on my comp, and things worked great... I wiped my comp clean.. reinstalled newest version of limewire pro.. now things suck.. Used to hit 150k/s regularly, now I can't seem to get more than 1k/s.As for the regular questions, I have an awesome computer set up.. real fast, lots of ram.. I have norton internet security for my firewall, and its allowing all connections for LW.. I have a linksys router, and have forwarded the proper ports... and i see no firewall sign in LW, so that's good. I don't share with computers too often, occasionally my dad's laptop is on the network, but not too often. Its slow at all times, day and night, and I've yet to call my ISP, but I shall do that tomorrow morning. I don't believe they filter and limit P2P, but I'll check anyways.. Assuming that P2P is not an issue with my ISP, does anyone have any ideas? THX (I'm on day 3 of download a tv episode..  |

| Have you tried deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's closed? Instructions are in points 2 & 3 of the thread below. Remember the folder's hidden, so you'll have to show hidden files & folders to see it. Fixes for LimeWire Is your Java up to date? The latest JRE is update 9. Point 1 in that thread has a link for download. Just remember to use the offline installer. BTW who is your ISP? |

| So, I've done both things you suggested, as well as contact my ISP who apparently does not filter or limit p2p activity, so I'm going to do one final spyware and virus check, and if nothing is found from there, then I'm all out of ideas.. anyone else? My ISP is called Platinum Communications.. they handle most of the rural area around Calgary, Canada |

| What's your connection like (how many green bars)? Someone else who uses Platinum had the same problem a couple of days ago... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...light=platinum Have you tried other p2p apps & does the same thing happen? It would be worth you trying another app, to see if it's just a LW problem. The other person had the same trouble with another app, which suggests that it's not specifically a LW problem. Also, what version of LW were you using before the problem started? Have you tried reverting back to an older version of LW to see what happens? |

| The reason I wasn't sure about Platinum doing any throttling was that after reading the AUP, it suggested (to me) that they weren't monitoring bandwidth use. But...I might be completely wrong:wink: Quote:

| I'm not sure the version i was On before. downloaded and bought apparently in december of 2005.. so whatever version was out then.. also, i have tried using bittorrent, and while it was slightly improved there (talking 20k/s) that's still ridiculously slow considering the number of 'peer's i was connected to. And, i have 5 full bars.. turbocharged connection it says. And awesome enough, despite downloading from 10 or 8 users.. my 2 files are at 0k/s each.. !! grr. But yea, i called the guy at my ISP and he was quite knowledgable about everything.. since they apparently have other routers to keep their whole network up and running, can one assume they have firewalls in place at those points? or do you think they would turn of any excess firewalls? if they do.. i guess i'm screwed.. but if they don't, and i'm still having this problem, is it safe to say, make limewire use an http port? is that even allowed? |

| Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? If yes then there's a firewall issue somewhere. What modem/router brand & model do you use? What software firewalls do you have/use? |

| I've got no idea how your ISP would be set up with firewalls etc. I've never used a proxy but have a look at the thread below, it has a few links. You could also use the forum search to look for proxy or proxies & see what other threads turn up. Some other forum members might have a few more clues, as well. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...52&postcount=2 |
