Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. 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.

Question VIDEO_TS File ~ How to view?

I have downloaded a movie from LimeWire. The file is 4.5GB & has completed in the 'searches' part of LW. It then began automatically uploading into the 'monitor' part of LW.
How do I burn this movie file onto a DVD disk? Can I do this straight from LW or do I have to move the file first?
Also, the file is in a folder which contains many tiny files ~ are these the individual components of the movie?
Thanks...

LW cannot burn. If anybody told you it could, then they are spammer rip off artists.

Depends upon which disk burner program you are using. At least in mine, I can choose to burn TS folders.

(If you downloaded directly TS folders, sounds like it was a torrent file. )

You need something that will actually burn a DVD structure onto DVD. iTunes won't do that. First off what kind of computer are you using? Because the proper burn programs vary depending on if it's a PC, Mac, linux whatever.

Red face Amateur needing help...

Thankyou Sleepless & LOR but I need to know: 1) How Do I MOVE the TS file out of LW? I am unable to MOVE this TS file from the 'search' screen in LW (like I can with Audio files). The file is now uploading into the 'monitor' screen in LW. 2) What is the 'monitor' screen in LW used for?

Well how to move them and where they are located probably depends on the system as well, so I ask again what kind of computer are you using?

The monitor screen monitors what you are uploading.

YOu did not tell us which version LW you are using. Both have different locations. Also different OS system has different location. As far as checking the TS folders out, MPlayer can play such files; MPlayer - The Movie Player

As for moving & burning ... well we do not have a clue. Are you using DOS, Unix, mac, windows, linux, xenix, a phone system? Tell us if you need to know the DOS command to find a particular folder.

Perhaps your folders are sorted in a bit order .. ie: one bit on, one off, easy really I guess. Just need to know which bit order system it's using. Wow ... would have never have thought anybody would need to know that. Even after having the forum rules flashed in front of me at least 3 times, I'd still never have guessed!

Better tell us now if your system was designed by the original back in 1950's ... we might need to do some back checking how to make all things compatible for you.

Default My Computer system & LW version...

Guys, I feel stupid! Anyway, I am running LW 4.18.8 & Java 1.6.0_11. I have a Toshiba Satellite A300/900 with Windows XP. I have successfully downlaoded a VIDEO_TS file from LimeWire & it is now sitting in the 'search' screen of LW as a 'completed' (100%) downloaded file.
I am unable to 'drag' this file into iTunes (as i do with my AUDIO files). Also, the file has begun automatically upoading into the 'monitor' screen in LW.
I simply want to know
How do I SAVE this TS file in another location so that I may burn it onto a DVD.

I realise I am an amatuer at this however, the true test of IT 'gurus' is being able to answer questions in a very simple way so that the person asking can easily understand. If nobody REALLY knows what I am talking about or how to do what I am asking, that's ok... just please tell me rather than vilify me for not knowing. Thanking someone in anticipation. Frustrated LimeWire member.

The file is saved on your HDD. Open explore while in LW and that will take you to the saved/shared folder, or search the file to find the path.

Now you will need a program to do the burning as Sleepless said above, iTunes will not do this.

We all have our opinions on which program to use but for an example, Nero is one that members here on the forum prefer. Hope this Helps.

If you will be using Nero remember that the TS folder is already the DVD, so you don't want to remake the DVD. The easiest way I have found to do this using Nero is to use Nero Recode, with a few specific commands.

Recode entire DVD

DO NOT check fit to disc and do not remove or change the quality on anything.
Simply load the entire TS folder and burn. It should already be good for burning.

Nero will see that it can just burn it as is and will do just that.

You do not need to move the folder "out of Limewire". You just navigate the browse (Import) in Nero Recode to where the TS folder is located. The location you found when pressing explore in Limewire.

I have personally never used an inferior client like Limewire to download torrents, but I would dare to guess you can find it somewhere in the proximity of C:\Documents and Settings\**Your Account name**\My Documents\Limewire
