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.

Question Desperate Houswife in search of Heroes to unblock AVI download problem

Been successfully using LW for several years. Over last year i've downloaded rather alot of videos of episodes of 2 successful american series (AVI format). Since yesterday i can no longer download them, whether in AVI or MPEG format. I tried 20 different files, and each time finish with the "No sources" label. It's not the "fake files" problem, that's for sure. The weird thing is that i can download other successful series (except one) and all other video files, as well as all music files and documents (eg. photos).

I get the feeling that these two series have been "blocked" from me.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Anyone know what may be the reason?

If it can be of any help, i'm in France, operating under MacOSX 3.9 and despite updating to LW 4.12.11 the "block" still persists.

Thanks.

Have you tried checking the file on Bitzi ? How to use Bitzi Web Lookup. It may not be listed there anyway but it's at least worth checking.

My 1st thought is fake files. However with your experience if you feel it's not, then I am not sure. It would be worth checking to see if the ip address of the sharer is the same as the others who are sharing the series. Find that out by attempting to direct connect or browse them.

Another option is to try broadening your search. Sometimes series are offered but might not be found under the same search criteria. They may be named differently. Perhaps try using a all types search, or adding the main actor's name to the search, etc.

BTW unlike windows, fake files are easier to detect on a mac using LW. It's related to their behaviour when you're trying to connect to those files.

There is a small chance the host of the series has banned your ip address. Not sure why, perhaps hammering requests automatically banning you but new versions of LW won't let you do that. If your previous version of LW was more than 2-3 years old then that might be the case. Else your ip was banned by accident (only by that host).

Default Me too ....

Is it ****** you are trying to download?

If it is, I have the same problem. Have you managed to figure out why?

I don't think they have banned our i.p address because I have tried from several computers.....

Hi, I download the same "popular" series I think you download, and i have had the same problem as you, however since i came to realice that,
i began searching for the specific name of the chapter and that solved my problem.
For example, if it is from "H" i would write "Parasite" and i would get episode number 18 of such serie... If it is "DH" i would write "dress big" and i would get episode number 17 of the third season of such serie, and voilà!.
There is a site that tells you the name of each episode, and since i can't write it here, i'll put a hint, write on the adress bar the three usual letters from "world wide web" followed by the dot, then two little letters "tv" and then the other dot and then com... Got it?
