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. |

 Warning! Don't Install 4.14! LimeWire 4.14 severely reduces the search results you get by discarding everything that some entity beyond our control has decided is "junk." Changing junk filter options appears to have absolutely no effect on this "feature" and THE PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR CANNOT BE RESTORED BY UNINSTALLING 4.14 AND REINSTALLING 4.12. I have been waiting 3 days for someone to respond to my email request for support on this issue (I'm running LimeWire Pro.) I think that this was done intentionally for some reason. I have tried deleting all folders with "LimeWire" in the name in hopes of deleting all LimeWire configuration so that I can install the old version from scratch, but no success. I may have to reformat if don't get any support and if I can't figure out where LimeWire stores this configuration information. Don't be a victim of this "feature."   |

 Same Problem With 10.4.10, intel machine with Limewire 4.14.8 and Java 1.5.0_07, no searches show junk. I've searched for various things, clearly too few results (several times less than with the previous release), no junk displayed. Tried "forgetting the training data," no luck there either. Attached is a picture of my junk filter menu (as it opens, so there's no problem with 'apply'). Yes, I've looked at the bottom of the search results too. |

| This is really annoying... Although it has cut out the automatic junk (John Howard gets pranked etc.), another method of sabotaging Limewire was for anti-P2Pers to come on & mark good tracks as junk. I have downloaded so called "junk" tracks & got perfect songs - often the rare and unusual versions. Now we can't even choose what we want & have put LimeWire into the control of the saboteurs!!! |

| I totally disagree. YOU Have to know what your doing. How to search and several other little tricks. I don't have any trouble and I have the Latest version and have had for as long as it's been out, so believe what you want. Do a little Research, Read, and Ask Questions, and you'll find out how it will all come together. There's a hole lotta crying going on.

 Hi Remoc - Can You Help Me With Torrents??? Thanks Remoc for reply. Unfortunately I am not very versed in computer sophistication (can't even change the default template in Word). A newby, but maybe a bit old & have been quite ill, with effects on my thought processes (temp), hence my addiction to computers. I'm not very familiar with the tips & tricks you mention. I have got as far as being able to do anything I want with LimeWire BUT: By mistake, I found [Edit], clicked on a download button & a whole album magically appeared in LimeWire. Now I am trying to download [Edit], which no P2Per seems to have trax from, & when I press download it just sits in downloads saying "Locating Sources" & 0%. Could you possibly let me know step by step in words suitable for a three year old how to download torrents? I am asking you, as I noticed you have answered this type of Question before, but when I look up Bittorrents, the jargon just goes over my head. e.g. I don't know what a URL is. Have normal PC with loads of hard drive space & XP Pro with all features working fine   Cheers from (not) sunny Australia Last edited by ursula; September 21st, 2007 at 10:47 AM. |

| This is all fascinating, but none of it solves the problem above. I *am* quite familiar with p2p, LimeWire, my system, and so on. Does anyone have a constructive suggestion for fixing the problem? I already included a screen shot from the relevant preferences screen, and it is set correctly - would more information help? Remoc, michwayne: are you running with the same OS and Java that I am? avon - check the [Edit] again for the torrent health. If there aren't many seeders around, it can take a very long time to get started. The best thing you can do is let it run for about a day (maybe even 36 hours), and if it hasn't started try to find another torrent for the same file that *does* have some seeders around.
