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.

Angry Dead lock of MacOS X triggered by LimeWire?

I do see that after letting LimeWire run for several hours that sometimes MacOS X 10.1.3 locks up solid, the mouse moves but nothing reacts to any mouse click. I can not even ping the MacOS X box from my other computers anymore. The last thing I see is that the CPU meter does display a fully loaded CPU, with system load about at 50% and the rest is user load, no idle state. I do share some 600 files (4GB). Does anybody else see this or is my machine special?

I have noticed the same system lock up with Limewire 2.31, OS X 10.1.3, iMac (slot loading.) If I leave Limewire running for several hours, when I return the system is frozen as you described. At first I thought it might be some kind of conflict with OS X's energy saver, but I've noticed this problem only when Limewire is running.

I do run the latest software from cvs, so there is no point to upgrade. Also the problem persists since a some months now. And the problem does not happen under Linux, as I am running the same .jar build under Linux as well. I would assume that this is a MacOS X problem triggered somehow by LimeWire.

Maybe a bug in the JRE or a problem with MacOSX...

Angry Total freeze of OS X

I have also seen this, with a twist. After having LW up for several hours, and put into the background, I click on the Dock icon and it freezes the whole system!! Bugger!

Default unix console readout on lockup

Howdy,
I am runnin' OSx v10.1.3 and just (again) loaded the most recent version of Limewire. I am still having prolems with the thing lockin'up. It happens whether I am uploading or downloading. I have adjusted all of the prefs to get various configurations. I looked at the console in the OSx system and it gives the followin':

ipcp: up
local IP address: blah blah blah blah
remote IP address: Blah blah blah blah
terminating on signal 15
ipcp: down

That is where the sys locks up (on me anyhow). Maybe you coders can use that and post something for the rest of us.
Regards.

I would say this is different from what I was reporting, your problem appears to be an IP address change triggered on either DHCP lease time expire or some networking glitch that removes carrier from the ethernet, also causing MacOS X to think it lost its IP address. In my case I have no such messages, and I do have a static IP address and do not use DHCP.

Default I get this crash too

(see my post in "crashes")

also, an interesting thing is that when I first updated to the latest version I had several days crashfree (and downloaded over 2 gb ) and then the problem returned. No changes made to my system.

I share 1000 files. (but I was having the problem when I was only sharing 350)

I believe I can run trouble free as long as I have only the three default ultrapeer connections. I do get crashes if LimeWire decides to establish lots of connections to other computers, I do see 40 or more of these occasionally.
