Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

You are right when you say:

There is no 'site'
and yes, we have been around this circle before but TexasThunder will not accept this. He believes, beyond all rational thought, that either there is a Limewire site that you can download files from or he was promised access to such a site.

Now we know that the Limewire Org. does not make promises like these and we also know that only scam sites promise that you can download films, music and games to your heart content but as most LW users know, all these promises are lies.

So the question is, where did TexasThunder get his Limewire app from?

Limewire org never promise that you will be able to download files from their site..The is no site like that.. Only scam sites make thoose promises.. So i ask the same question ukbobboy01 asks..

Where did you(TexasThunder)get yore app from??(sorry for my bad english)


Like i said before.....Give Limewire a little time..Search the network an if you can´t find what you want, just try a little later,maybe somebody who has that file in online at that moment..If you still can´t find what you are looking for try the next day... Limewire pro is a gr8 product

LimeWire is legal software, but it is illegal for you to use LimeWire to share copyrighted files without permission. Purchasing LimeWire PRO does not constitute a license for obtaining or distributing unauthorized files. When you download LimeWire software from Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download «, you agree to refrain from using LimeWire for the purpose of copyright infringement.
Sharing files in your Library

Everything you share with LimeWire becomes public and trackable. To check which files you're sharing, open LimeWire and click on "Shared Files" in the upper-left directory. Clicking on the folders (and sub-folders) will show the files you're sharing. To use LimeWire legally, you must have the owner's permission to share every file in your Library on the Gnutella network. For example, music and movies from major labels and movie studios are copyrighted, and you do not have permission to share these files (even if you bought them). If you're having trouble determining if a file is OK to share, here are a few ideas that may help:

* Look in the "License" column within the LimeWire program to see if a file has a shareable license type.
* Files that another user has published as Creative Commons appear as Creative Commons. A file with a verified Creative Commons license is legal to share. You can verify a specific file by right-clicking on the CC icon, selecting "View License" and selecting "Verify". Files with unverified Creative Commons licenses may still be illegal to share.
* Weedshare files appear as Weedshare in the License column, and can be legally shared. These files have DRM (Digital Rights Management) that allows users to play the file three times for free before deciding to buy.
* Search for a registration with the US Copyright Office database. A work may still be copyrighted and illegal to share even if it's not registered with the US Copyright Office.
* Check out + MagnetMix.com +: The Source for Good Content for more songs and videos that are free and legal to share.

Downloading files on the Gnutella network

There are many programs other than LimeWire that connect users to the Gnutella network. Keep in mind that many users disobey copyright law -- downloading copyrighted files from such users means you're both breaking the law!
LimeWire filtering feature

The LimeWire filtering feature is designed to help users share legally while protecting copyright owners. When filtering is enabled, LimeWire checks the status of the files before downloading them. If a copyright owner has requested that a file not be shared, LimeWire prohibits the downloading of that file. Enabling Filtering helps users share files with LimeWire more safely and responsibly. At the time of installation, you will be prompted to select your filtering options. At any time, you can set Filtering Options by selecting 'Filters' in the menu and then 'Configure Content Filters'. This will open the 'Content' section of 'Filters' in the Options dialog, and allow you to check the 'Enable Content Filters' checkbox.

Right now, our filtering blacklist is not comprehensive and many copyrighted files may still be available on the network. Our goal is to eventually filter out all files that copyright owners do not wish to be shared with LimeWire. We are working to make the Filtering System as effective and error-proof as possible. If you are a copyright owner, you can register to participate in the filtering system here.
LimeWire User Privacy

Lime Wire respects the privacy of its users. Lime Wire does not log IP addresses and/or any other identifying information. However, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may be required to disclose such information.
What happens if I commit copyright infringement?

Your activities on peer-to-peer networks such as LimeWire's may be monitored by copyright owners. By committing copyright infringement your risks include significant settlement fees if you are sued. Copyright owners have sued thousands of people for online copyright infringement. Don't be the next one!
Where can I get more information about peer-to-peer and copyright?

More information on music and movie copyrights is available at the RIAA and MPAA websites.

Pro is able to connect to 5 ultrapeers instead of Basic's 3. That means better search results when searching for rarer material. Pro can download from up to 10 hosts per file, compared to Basic's 8.

If you are having problems then perhaps you should see Downld/Upld Problems Sticky to configure the way you use LW better. Instead of coming here to Flame just because you don't know how to use it to its maximum abilities. It's like buying a porsche & complaining because you're not sure how to slip the gears into the top range of gears for maximum speed. BTW have you read the LW manual? Have you seen the LW FAQ or their Support pages? Did you ask their support what the problem is? In any case, there's many threads highlighted here with more than enough info to help a person to maximise their use of LW. So get off your butt & do some reading or go troll somewhere else. BTW how many Forum stickies did you bother to look at before posting this thread? None right!!!

BTW how many Big Macs can you buy for the price of LW Pro .. about 4 right. So how about stuffing your face with 4 burgers for 15 minutes. j/k
Gnutella has a whole multitude of programs that use it. It has been so successful that the likes of the RIAA, etc. have done their best to try to stop it using many means including trying to spam the network. But they can't stop the network itself because it's not owned by any single company. It's people power. So now you know that it's up to you how to get the most out of LW. It works amazingly for me. But we don't have a clue about you because you didn't come here detailing your system details looking for help, but just to flame. Your thread topic says that. People wouldn't keep renewing their pro if they thought it was crap.

I have visited the forums and tried the advice, make sure you know what the hell you are talking about jerk before you go putting down anyone. You don't know what I have done or not done, jerks that come in the middle of a conversation should keep their mouths shut. The jerks on this forum are one of the reasons I am leaving this site, you try to get help and you get a rash of ****.

No you didn't !!! You came here to FLAME. Exactly where did you ask for help. Nowhere. You didn't tell us squat about a problem you need assistance with. So as you refused to follow the forum rules you are quite welcome to leave. Flamers & Trolls (people who post simply looking for attention but not seeking help) are not especially welcome here. And yes I do apologise for feeding the Troll.
