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. |

 97 "people" have the file I want but I can't download it? Need more sources? Everytime I try and download a movie or a mp3 that alot of people are listed as having- I never, ever, ever can. It's amazing- anytime more than say 11 people are listed as having a file I want- that means I'm not able to download it. all listed as available from dozens if not hundreds of people, but I have never, ever once gotten 1k of this movie after several months of trying. and there's several files all listed as being available from 50, 60, 90, etc.. people- but I can never get a file to even start downloading 1k- "need more sources" is all I get. How many more f'ing sources do I need? What's the deal? If I try and download a file that 5 or 6 people have- then I am usually all set, but if more than 12 people have it, I'm screwed- no matter what the file is. Also, I paid to register Limewire Pro- and I don't notice 1 bit of difference- faster downloads?? I don't see any speed increase. Better search results?- not here. What are these guys talking about? Limewire is awesome- but I honestly don't think you get anything but a new skin for $20 Please tell me I'm wrong. Last edited by DontTouchTheDoor; November 14th, 2006 at 10:12 AM.  |

 Interesting I seem to be having a similar problem. I have downloaded a movie with no issues, I have pro, which does work better for me than the free one, I am constantly downloading clips which mostly works fine, some disappear and I am cannot download them, but you can't get what is not there. Please note I live in a location where movie theaters are not accessable due to distance and the one video shop is quite a distance away, and I only download movies I can get no other way. so the problem is with one movie, there are dozens of people with it listed, a search returns over 1000 results, some of them are common to 50, 60, 80, people. Yet I can not download the file. I have tried 30 or 40 times, no matter how many have it, 1 or 80, I get "need more sources". What gives? Are people just playing games? Does this file not exist? It is very annoying. Especially as I am moving soon so I can get a faster connection and more band width. I am on a dial up 56k modem, is this the problem? Soon I expect to have broadband or I think it is also called adsl. Any advice or info would be appreciated. Oh, yeah, I also share everything I download. I now have 301 files shared, increasing constantly. Southern Pirate |

| You probably don't have the correct codecs installed, especially if the files have several good ratings with Bitzi. Try downloading VLC player. It's free and will play almost anything: VLC media player - Overview Good Luck  Dan |
