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.

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. |

| can get 'need more sources' to go away Ok...I've read through the forums and have found many different "solutions" to the 'connecting/need more sources' problem. I call them "solutions" because they work for other people, but not for me. Here's my info: 1. OS version? - Windows XP SP2 2. What firewalls you have? - Zonealarm and Sygate (both configured to allow limwire) 3. How much ram? - 1024 MB 4. Hard Disk space available? - 10 GB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) - Cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? - Wireless router, NetGear WPN824 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_03 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? - Earthlink 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? - "Your test worked!" 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. - Yes, 1 other computer on the wireless network. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. - I'm an experienced user and this problem has just recently occurred. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? - I do, and I don't know how to get rid of it (even after following the instructions from other links around the forums). 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? - Yes, my router and computer are set up for UPnP. I also tried port forwarding, but I didn't see any difference. 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall. - Avast! antivirus and McAfee Antivirus 16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). - USA I will also note that, yes, I have tried deleting the preferences folder, .limewire, etc., and I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the new and old versions of limewire and java. The files I am trying to download are not fake. I am using the basic version of limewire btw. This problem just happened randomly. One day I was downloading and uploading just fine. The next day I couldn't get any connections at all.  Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated! |

| You shouldn't have two firewalls or two Anti-Viruses running...They will clash with each other and leave you unprotected... Try unistalling One of each and then see if your problems are still occuring...

| well...i know for a fact that this is not the issue because: 1. I've had 2 of each for well over 2 years now and limewire had no trouble with any of it. 2. I've tried uninstalling one, the other...and both...and it still hasn't made a difference. This is why I'm so confused  Nothing that I seem to do has any effect... |

 AAAHH HAAA! I figured it out! It was the avast! antivirus, not the firewalls. Avast has a P2P shield that prevents anything incoming or outgoing for P2P. After I disabled that, limewire worked again. Just thought I'd let you know that the problem is solved. But now I'm wondering why limewire didn't work even after I uninstalled both the firewalls and antivirus software. Ah well...at least it works. |

| I don't think that's it...I have Advast and my p2p shield is running..That shield is for scanning the files that you receive from limewire, so I would personally keep it running if I where you... Click on image

 ok, so you have it too...if you open the On-Access Protection Control you'll find a list of all the things that avast! protects against. The P2P shield, for me, blocks connections to the Gnutella network. All I did was disable this feature (and only this feature) and limewire worked again. Any file that I download is still scanned separately. For me, this is a win-win situation. |
