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.

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. |

 Your Problem might be an issue with wireless connection perhaps (wireless devices, depending on model have inconsistent/unreliable bandwidth which may drop when under pressure), too many incomplete files which can saturate the connection. It might also be ISP related with them using special p2p anti-gnutella bandwidth shapers. O.o  |

| i followed the instructions posted on another thread regarding setting up limewire and how to speed things up. it seems to work a lot better now. Also i think it has a lot to do with my isp because i've noticed that when it is early evening in the Uk and lots of people are on the net it slows down. When they go to bed here and it becomes early evening in the US as more people come online over there it seems to speed right up which makes me come to the conclusion that it must be due to my isp becoming very busy as it is BT who supply my service. I will monitor the situation over the next few weeks and see what happens! thanks for all your help in trying to resolve this issue for me  regards Kev Christie. |

| Well, I can't find my posting, so hopefully, someone will see this and come up with an answer? I use windows xp pro, IE 6.0 and have plenty of memory and ram, yet whenever I download programs, all goes well, until I go to burn. Then my burn 'burns' at 97% and each time it does, I get a read failure. However when it burns at 98% all is good. Can anyone explain why it mostly burns at 97% and I am wasting disk after disk? Thanks to anyone, Arnold |

| Try burning at 'minimum' speed the disk allows (eg: instead of 50 speed, choose 16 or 20 speed). Also use decent brand CD-R's, not those made in Taiwan or China. The slower speed CD-R disks are also 'more reliable' than the high speed ones & likewise burn those at minimum speed (eg: 16 speed disk, burn at 4 speed). Sure burning fast is convenient for data back up, but for multimedia such as video or audio, slowest is always best. Give your burner a clean too. They do get dirty I assure you.  I use regular CD player cleaner disks to clean the laser heads. Another option is to convert your audio files to WAV or AIF first, then burn them as an audio CD. But it also depends on how your burner program works. |

| unable to comply with lower speed Here is a copy of my 'nero' ...it does not give me an option to select d/l speeds. Does it automatically. Should I be using another burner? Oops...tried to pasted but don't have the option here ;( Any other suggestions? It begins to burn properly, but at 97% it always gives me a read failure after about the 3rd item is burned onto the disk. I'm using the Memorex 80 min 700mb disks. Thanks for your help. Arnold |

| I have not used Nero for perhaps 3 years, but from memory there 'is' an option to change speed. I just cannot remember how to access it though. Somewhere in settings, it might be one of the sub-programs of Nero that the main speed setting is. Check settings under the Recorder menu (if it still has one.) ... (I am generally a mac user btw.) |

| speeds Hi, The only read speed is 48x but there is an option on 'spin down time', anywhere from infinite to 1 sec, but I don't know if that is of any help? Outside of that, I have no clue. Thanks again, arnold |

| hi, found the problem, and it is now solved, and all is good. Now, all I need is for someone to outline the steps in downloading a movie from torrent....how to use the bittorrent, and how to actually d/l a movie. I've d/l'd a bittorrent, then tried to d/l a movie, and got nothing. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but haven't a clue. thanks for any help. |
