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. |

 Download Problem - Let's Take a Specific Example HI Guys. I've been using LW for a while and the first 6 months i had no complaints. Of course some files were bad and others crapped out mid download but i had a high % of successes. The past 3 months, however, have been disastrous. Music is generally not a problem but tv shows and movies are IMPOSSIBLE. I know all of the fixes some of you noble people trying to help out have posted.. changed settings, delete connections, yadayada. I keep seeing the same problem being posted over and over again so i thought it would be REALLY HELPFUL if I gave a specific example of some of the issues and it would be AWESOME if someone who's not having such issues try the same queries and downloads and see what happens. Perhaps it's just me or perhaps there really is a huge issue these days with LW. Here it goes: I am trying to download episodes of ******************* 1) if i put ************in my search i get thousands of files. Most are not for this episode even though the search seems pretty specific to me. I try downloading any of these files, whether it's actually this episode or a different one and all result in Need More Sources no matter how many connections i delete. 2) if i put *************in my search the same problem as above doesn't happen. Instead, i have a new problem: These files in the past have been 350MB but everything popping up is 350KB or less. Seems very suspicious to me. Also, i get a lot of zip files. The concept of a zip makes sense (shrink large files) but they seem to be exes (executables) and have suspicious titles such as "bittorrent downloader". 3) Here's the final part that drives me even crazier: in the first search, i get a file called *************. Ok, not exactly the same as my second search under which this file didn't show, but ok no problem. I start a third search *********and a fourth search of *********** (LW won't let me add anymore letters) and guess what the file doesn't show up! How does this make sense? When i try to download it from the first search i get need more sources and when i try searching for it with a specific search for that file it doesn't show up! ok, so there you have it. If someone knows how to resolve these specific issues i bet all of us having download problems would benefit because i have a hunch we're all having similiar types of scenarios. Thanks for the time.

| Another interesting tidbit: I did a search each time of the connections that LW gives me each time i delete the old ones and everytime the list of files that show NEVER include any of the files i'm attempting to download. Wouldn't LW be hooking me up with connections that have the same file? Otherwise, how exactly would such a host help even if he/she's legit? Another strange observation.... |

 I changed ISP and now can't download anything. I switched from Verizon to Cox and before I had a "turbocharged" very fast up/down load speeds. Now, when I try doing a search, nothing comes back, and I get a message saying "Waiting for a stable connection" There has been no change in my computer, programs, hardware or otherwise, except for the new modem to the new ISP (Cox) I can reach the internet just as fast as before, my emails work, internet searches are fast, but I can't "connect" to LimeWire. The firewalls settings are the same, so technically, it all should work as before. Can someone help me, Please!!!  |

| Fausto G.....Cox are known to block p2p.... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-limewire.html Cox Communications - Cable, High Speed Internet and Telephone services in Cox Communications Executivej you sound like you are only connecting to fake files.. Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up...  Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2 If you're using Vista, there's this PG2 Beta available for Vista users. PeerGuadian 2 for Windows Vista beta released - Phoenix Labs PeerGuardian 2:Manual - Phoenix Labs Wiki Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...This will block known fake IP addresses... The TechNutopia Fullsize Hostiles List for BearShare and LimeWire If that fails try using a torrent client like utorrent....
