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.

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. |

| Try d/ling a file from this site and see what kind of speeds you get. Just click on a link and it'll open in LW: + MagnetMix.com +: The Source for Good Content. How's your connection to the network? Do you have all blue bars in the lower left corner?

| Having a similar problem, except that some of my downloads are really fast and some of them won't move past 1kps. There is the brick wall, indicating a firewall, but I don't actually have one. I checked my security center and made sure it was off (it was) Any suggestions? Connectivity is "extremely strong" but that's apparently not doing much good Also just tried the link posted above. Downloaded the song, peaked at 154 kps...download speed for songs in lw still sucks 1. OS version? Windows XP 2. What firewalls you have? CA Security center, all firewalls turned off 3. How much ram? 1.25gb RAM 4. Hard Disk space available? 36GB 5. Connection type? cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Motorola somethin....I think. 7. Where are you trying to connect from? Home network 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Limewire Pro 4.12.11 & Java 5.0 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Comcast 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: 'Your test worked!'. 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I've used Limewire a while. It's a new problem, and persisted past upgrade to pro 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes, but no firewall is on. Turned all of them off and restarted, still there. 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Not a clue Last edited by Pax; June 1st, 2007 at 07:56 PM. |

| Hi Pax, Sounds like your connection is fine. LW has the ability to push through some firewalls. Your Motorola probably has a nat firewall in it. You can configure it for LW, instructions at this site: PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall, be sure to set up a static ip. This may help your speeds. Your slow d/load speeds could be caused by other things. Is it slow only during certain times of the day? Possibly your isp is traffic shaping you at peak usage times. Could also be caused by the hosts your d/loading from. If they have a poor connection or a lot of people are uploading from them, they might not have much bandwidth to go around. People are constantly logging on and off the network and d/load speeds tend to fluctuate. You could try some of the fixes in this thread: Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should!

| I did start trying the port forwarding thingie last night, but got stuck because my ip address wouldn't bring anything up in an IE window. I got the address from cmd ipconfig, and it wouldn't open my router in the browser. I'll try the other fixes and see if those work |

| Use the ip address that's in the guide, it's your routers ip, not your computers ip. Can you post which model motorola router you have?

| Streamyx are known for throttling p2p. Check out the threads below. Why Tmnet throttle P2P Streamyx slow? Is there any alternative broadband in Malaysia? - Kongtechnology.com Why Torrents in Streamyx is SLOW - GeminiGeek’s Online Journal http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...lly-works.html LW 5 won't show you the firewall icon - instead you need to click on LW's tools > advanced tools & there you'll see whether you're behind a firewall. In LW's options (Command (Apple key) & Comma keys ⌘ ,) try changing port numbers. Once in Options > advanced > super really advanced > firewall. Change LW's listening port to 65000 (or something in the range of 49152 - 65535) > ok. On that same firewall page, you'll see whether you have port forwarding or UPnP selected. |
