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. |

 Excellent connection-Cannot download Audio  I have been using the free version of LW and have had no problems connecting (other than it takes a while) and have been able to download audio files, again with no problems until yesterday. When I go to "select search type" and click on "Audio", it does absolutely nothing but stays on "All types" and although I have 5 full bars of connectivity, it won't let me search there either. I am not seeing any firewalls detected. It's driving me nuts, please help!  |

 Try deleting your preference folder...The instructions on this are within this Sticky... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html If that doesn't do the trick try this.... Go to your Connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it... Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more... (try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...)  Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply... 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

 Connecting isn't my issue, I have excellent connection (all green bars)...I cannot open the audio search option, it's like it's frozen on the "all types" and won't let me search from there either. I have completely shut LW down, waited and come back to it later and it's still doing the same thing. |

| Deleting the preference folder doesn't just cure connection problems...If you have a corruption anywhere within Limewire it will reset everything so you can start fresh.... The instructions on how to delete the preference folder just happen to be in a connection thread...

| Unfortunately that did nothing but make everything in my library disappear completely ...I still can't search for anything. I clicked on "audio" and I got a message about de-bugging and should I send a report to limewire (see below). I am not very computer savvy and am really frustrated that I just lost all of my songs for nothing. AARRGGHH!!Message I recieved when I signed back on to LW and clicked on the audio search option... This is Limewire. The official website is www.limewire.com. Limewire has encountered an internal error. It is possible for limewire to recover and continue running normally. To aid with debugging, please click 'send' to notify Limewire about the problem. If desired, you can click 'review' to look at the information that will be sent. Thank you. -Always send immediately -Always ask for review -Always discard all errors Last edited by missodie; September 12th, 2008 at 03:12 PM. |

| Your music should still be there, deleting the preference folder has never caused music to be deleted before... Try these suggestions and see if they help... Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then use Crap Cleaner to clean the registry. Try updating to the latest version of Java here Java SE Downloads If the latest update gives you any problems, try this older version, which has worked well for lots of people: Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11 Whichever Java version you use, download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions (via Add/Remove Programs) before installing another one. If none of the above fix your problem you will need to start fresh using the offline installers for both Limewire and Java... Limewire offline installer: http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe

| UGH! Absolutely nothing is working, I had to start fresh with downloading Java and limewire. Java loaded fine, but now I am having issues loading limewire. It gets almost completely through the downloading process and then a box pops up that reads "installation is corrupted. Please download and install Limewire again"...I have tried "again" multiple times and keep getting the same message. I really like being able to download all of the great music and even though I really don't want to, at this point, I'm so frustrated, I'm almost ready to throw in the towel and say "forget it". |

| Thank you for your help, and Phex downloaded fine, but I'm really not sure I like the set up. When I did an audio search for an artist, I couldn't tell in the list what any of the songs were like you can on limewire...you can call me picky if you'd like, but seeing how I am not all that tech savvy, I would prefer to know which song/artist I am trying to download. Do you have any other ideas. Is there any way at all that I can get back to Limewire??? It gets all the way to the point (when I'm downloading limewire) where it says "unpacking files", then I get the "installation is corrupted" message. |

| Hmmm...I think you need to start fresh....Maybe when you uninstalled LW a few files where left behind somewhere... The correct way to uninstall is Start > All programs > Limewire/Uninstaller Use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name. If you can't delete them, reboot into safe mode & then try. If they still won't delete, try one of the tools here... Incomplete Download File won't delete at all. Once you have it uninstalled use this link to reinstall... http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe
