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. |

It would be good if gnutella / gnutella programs had a similar ability. Yes I've seen so many people sharing junk. Some accidentally. Some sharing rubbish that obviously nobody wants. Whilst some people might not share for special reasons, those who leech with a nasty approach as described in first post are despicable. lol @ PickaxeFairy's last sentence.   |

| And another thing....  Leeching is bad enough - but if you're gonna do it, at least have a decent speed! I am so sick of all these people in my upload window who can't seem to get above 0KB/s!  All this results in is every 10 seconds or so, everyone's upload speeds - however good they were initially - do nothing but fluctuate at ridiculous rates for silly amounts of time.... Thus slowing everyone down to stupidly stupid speeds.  I love Limewire, use it loads - but honestly.... there are hosts on here sometimes who just make me want to commit murder!

| Last night I was connected to someone with a T3 connection speed setting. My download was fluctuating between 1-3 KB/s, mostly at the zero to 1 KB/s. Plus, it kept going into busy host. I had a few downloads from this person, forced them to start occasionally via resume but same thing. This person was downloading from me at 20-50 KB/s. Yes I had browsed them, checked some of the files they were sharing. They were sharing less than 200 files (perhaps 180), so made me wonder if they were really that busy. Perhaps upload speed setting (they were using LW 4.18.8) But these types of users will always be around. Of course many people think single-mindedly about using LW to get free music, etc. so only use it to please themselves & do not wish to please anybody else. lol  Fact of life unfortunately. |

 Not sure if the problem is just Limewire 5 though....? Doesn't seem to matter what version people are using (in my case anyway) I'm using Version 4.18.8. My upload window slots are constantly fluctuating, mainly going backwards and sticking at 0KB/s. The other day I was losing the will to live A 6 minute file, nothing major - yet as soon as I started to download, it rapidly went backwards, stuck at 0KB/s for ages, then went to Awaiting Sources. This continued for the best part of 4 hours! Funny thing was though, every time I right clicked on said file, it continued downloading quite happily. Well for 10 seconds at a time anyway What's with the Awaiting Sources message? How come I'm still able to download despite aforementioned 'message'?

| My personal problems with downloading/uploading I have to confess, I've cancelled uploads of files. But they were currently being downloaded!! I've tried fixing this problem by simply "unsharing" files that I'm currently downloading - but you can't "unshare" files that aren't being "shared" in the first place!! My library shows that the same file is unable to be shared since it is incomplete - so, please, explain how this same file is able to be found and then uploaded?! It's frustrating enough when waiting to finish a big file (think video) and having to wait DAYS in order to get a decent download stream...and just when you've finally found the rest of the file, someone (or very often, several someones) start uploading the same file you're presently downloading! I don't mind sharing, in fact I love sharing my favorites! It's just that I don't understand how this is beneficial to anyone - how can someone be expected to "share" a file that isn't even completed? I'm starting to wonder if this isn't just a problem I've been experiencing...would definitely explain why so many of my files seem to "stall" after partial download...maybe I'm just downloading incomplete files from others that are still searching for the completed files, also!? Has anyone found a way to fix this problem? LOL Kinda funny, trying to fix something that technically shouldn't exist! I mean, why bother to "share" or "unshare" if the file can still be found and uploaded? |

| somewhere in the tools>options category should be the option of sharing partial files...uncheck the box...

 Unfortunately, LW 5.1.2 doesn't have that option...at least not directly. There is the option of checking a box that says you will "only share files selected at that point"...or you can opt to also share all new files downloaded to library. It's an either/or type of choice. After your post, I changed it to only share files at that point, but not sure if this will help since incomplete files don't show up as being shared anyways. I'll post back after a few days to let everyone know if this changed the problem...or not. Thanks! |
