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. 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. |

 downloads in limewire gone...need help hey guys, ive been using limewire for a long time and just today ive got a problem ive never had before.im using a few months old version of limewire pro (4.13 something) and today i kept getting those error messages where it gives you the option to review it or discard it...since limewire was still working fine i just clicked discard. they kept popping until i eventually thought "screw this" and decided to exit and re-open...but when i re-opened it said "limewire was unable to reload your old downloads" or something like that...now with just under 2000 files of music (alot of hard to find music too) i was naturally a little annoyed.since the computer has been on all day i thought a restart might fix it...but it didnt. opened limewire again to find a blank download list. all the files are still in the incomplete folder...but wont load back into limewire. i tried installing an older (non-pro) version too and that didnt work. i reinstalled the pro version i was using...that didnt work. i downloaded the latest (non pro) version and that didnt work either.so does anyone know how i can get all my downloads back into limewire? i really hate the idea of having to find all my music again. its strange thought coz about a year ago i decided to format my computer to clean it up a bit and i thought "great im gonna have to search for everything again" but after i set up the computer the way i wanted and installed limewire again...all my old downloads were there still...i was like WTF. so i dont understand why its doing it.also... if it makes any difference...im on 56k dial-up and im using windows XP SP2 with all the latest updates. my computer is virtually virus, spyware, adware etc free coz i use AVG, spybot and ad-aware and i rarely have any problems. i dont have have other dodgy toolbars in my explorer or anything. i keep my computer very organised so this is really quite strange and annoying.so can anyone help me out? ive looked around the forums but mostly found topics about accidental deletion and stuff like that. this is nothing like it...i didnt delete anything...just closed limewire after discarding a bunch of error messages, and after re-opening it wouldnt load my old downloads.help...anyone? id really appreciate it coz i love my music and if i have to search for all of it again im not gonna be a very happy camper. about a quarter of the files were close to 100% completion as well.  |

| AD, I have the same problem. I have the newer verson, and I downloaded some Christmas movies. about 4 of them, and poof! they can not be found. What happened to them who knows. But funny thing is, I went to re-download them, and Lime wire said I already had them downloaded. My hubby even asked, "Didn't you find them?" I am stunned. I am surprised as you. Someone out there knows something. This has baffled me too! What's going on here? Where are my movies? I can not download the same movies cause it says I have them! A glitch that no one knows about! |

| Have you tried this. Your files should be on HDD. While in Limewire go to Library. Now click Explore, in lower left corner. This will take you to your saved/shared folder outside of Limewire.

| where are my downloads? If you can not re-load your incomplete downloads, it is because they were cancelled or because the incomplete folder had been deleted or emptied or it has been moved. I didn't delete anything is a natural excuse for why they are gone. They were deleted, that simple. As far as where are they (downloads) going. Look at the new folder you accidently made in limewires root folder. if that is not the case they are going to the new folder you made somewhere. if they are not there(in your computer) you don't have them. If you wait days and weeks for a download to continue, most often it NEVER will. Just take the time to download a better version or file. I have been using peer to peer for years, since before the internet. when my files are gone, I did it! if the program is failing, it is usually a wrong link ie I set my download options to a wrong place. The best alternative is to clean up the incomplete, clean up all references o limewire or program, reinstall it with the newest version and start over. Why waste time fixing something I broke. clean up, reinstall and watch where I save and what the error messages tell me I am about to do wrong. |

| I have the same problem. My downloads are still in my download folder and my downloads.dat and downloads.bak files are intact but Limewire has 'forgotten' my downloads. I am a multi year subscriber to Lime Wire Pro. What do we need to do to get this problem fixed? |

| I found a solution: Go to your library and click the icon for incomplete files then click the resume button. That worked for me on my Mac Limewire Pro client. Now, if Limewire will fix the problem that causes this headache, I'll be happy. |

| I tried all the suggestons here too. Limewire reloaded all the incomplete downloads that it had not been able to find - but there is stil a BIG PROBLEM. All the incomplete downloads come in at 0% - and many of them had been at 70%+ when this problem occurred. How do i get Limewire to restore the files to where they were before? Many of these files had been downloading the last time i quit out of the program - and now, none of them download. This is the third time this has happened to me and i can't find a way around it. |
