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.

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. |

 DL speeds are horrible 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) XP 2. What firewalls you have? XP firewall with Limewire on the list of exceptions 3. How much ram? 512 4. Hard Disk space available? almost 40 gigs i believe 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Motarolla Surfboard model no. is SB5101 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? house 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LW is 4.8.1 and java is 1.4.2_03 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Metrocast is the cable company i buy from 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? TEST WORKED! 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. nope 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. experienced user, long running problem, i always thought it was my dial up and no that i have cable i noticed it was slow 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? this will sound noobish but i dont see a world icon anywhere these are my system specs to the best of my knowledge. okay i have configured my max bandwidth slightly lower than it is rated at. But i am still downloading at a rate no more than 10 KBps, and when it reaches 10 it immediately goes right back down to about 3-5 KBps. And whats even more annoying is that most of the time it doesnt go above 5 and hovers around 1 or 2. I have a cable connection at around 700 KBps and an upload rate of about 45 KBps, why am i still downloading so slowly? My buddy has the same connection through the same company and downloads file (videos especially) at speeds ranging from the 20s to the 60s. One thing i just thought of is that i may need to upgrade my limewire... PLEASE HELP   |

 Check with your ISP ***Your explanation of your dramatic drop in download speed nearly mirrors my "problem." My ISP has begun to pull the plug on downloaders of copyrighted material...music, movies, applications, etc. In my case, it was the plethora of videos I downloaded with my cable company's blazing 4-5 MBs. My ISP, Adams Cable of Carbondale, PA, told me that they receive more than 50 abuse complaints a day, mostly from Hollywood studios who "seed" with their own digital material, then track who is downloading it. It is not difficult for the studios to find out what computer ID is downloading and through which ISP the computer is connected. (I'm told that videos with "aXXo" in the title are studio seeds for tracking purposes.) I suspect your ISP is placing severe download speed limits on all P2P networks. Other than P2Ps, my download speed remains high (you can test yours at http://speakeasy.net ... click on the link in the lower right side of the home page). If your download speed test is satisfactory, yet your P2P downloads crawl slower than a snail, you've been targeted by your ISP and there isn't anything you can do about it since such activities violates the legal terms you agreed to to get their service. |

OS version? XP Home SP2 2. What firewalls you have? Norton, Windows (disabled) 3. How much ram? 1GB 4. Hard Disk space available? About 55 GB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) wireless broadband 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? (internal modem) - Conexant D110; router: Philips SNA6500 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? House 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LW 4.12.11, Java 1.5.0_11 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? BT Broadband 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? Almost instantaneous - "Your test worked" 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Been using LW several weeks, had the problem with constant disconnections, fixed that thanks to the excellent help on the forums here  - all working fine until today13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes. And five green bars Did the speakeasy test and should have ~1210 kbps download speeds. Unless some very nice kind person can point out something I've missed, I can only think that BT are being horrid |

| It is more than likely BT because they are known to throttle and shape p2p... But you can try to Port Forward you router and see if that helps at all... http://www.portforward.com/english/r...0/Limewire.htm Don't forget the static IP part, it's very important....

| thank you very much, i also have one more question. I just upgraded to LW 4.12 or whichever the newest one is. Whenever anyone (my mom my sister and I) sign on to my computer using each of our names, LW pops up without me opening it. It is getting really annoying, and everytime i close it, a minute later it pops back up again. Do you know how to fix this? I turned off the feature for LW to start up when windows does and it still does it. |
