Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

 LW is trying to tell you that the file you just downloaded was either Corrupt, Fake, or Spam. Don't question these results unless you enjoy cleaning Viruses and Malware from your computer. Look for another file and of coarse always use Bitzi when possible. I believe I read somewhere that LW is working on identifying these Infected files sooner instead of identifying them when the D/L has finished. Time will tell.

| I call bull! This has happened to me as well, and it's just stupid to say that limewire's canceling nothing but viruses and malware. I just spent weeks downloading a huge file, only to get that crap message and to find my download deleted! GAH! While it was downloading, I checked out the incomplete folder... and the file was fine! BTW.... I'd rather have to clean up my computer of viruses and malware... as long as I get my download. WE SHOULD AT LEAST GET THE OPTION to cancel or continue. I hate to flame, but this is a very serious problem. Don't just blow us off. Don't patronize us. Don't pat us on our heads and say 'it's alright...it's for your own good'. |

| Issue is .. the file whilst it might play ok, has a virus or similar malware embedded within it. These are known bad files, not random ones. |

| Yes, well. Despite that fact, I would still like to have the option to download those files. If I'm spending hours of my time downloading a file... maybe I... oh what is it? Maybe I...hmmm... what is it that I... WANT! OH THAT'S IT! WANT! MAYBE I WANT THE DAMN FILE! The issue that you're talking about is the virus. The issue I am talking about (along with the OP, I'm sure) is CHOICE. Of course there's risk involved. There are viruses everywhere. It's not Limewire's job to clean out our computers. It's ours. That's why we have virus protection programs. That's why we do scans. Anywho, gotta fly. I need to find another way to download the files I'm looking for! Cuz obviously Limewire is not going to do the job. |

| A Yeah, Limewire is not the app. you want to use too download large files. Single music files, sure, it's fine for that. I can offer a solution that may help you out depending on your experiance and ability. I D/L 4GB files and larger that are much safer, generally speaking, all the time in usually less than an hour. There are some that can do this in just minutes. This will depend on several things. ISP being a Big part of it. If you are interested in what I may suggest, PM me. BTW we here at the Gnutella Forums have absolutly nothing to do with LW other than maybe using the program. We are all volunteers and are here to help members that are having issues. Having an attitude when you come in here will get you no where fast.

The LW company is under pressure from authorities to add these security measures to the program. You might be unaware but LW has been undergoing court action & negotiations for a couple of years now. This is another reason LW no longer offers older versions at their site. |

| http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...tml#post348490 I believe from what a dev suggested is at some point a later LW version will actually prevent files that are bad from being downloaded or soon after it has begun instead of canceling & deleting at end of downloading process. |
