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. |

 Limewire 2.8.6 freezing OS X 10.2.3 I've been using Morpheus and Kazaa on a PC on my network for quite a while with very good results. I've recently "switched" to a Mac G4 (400Mhz) running OS X 10.2.3 with 320Mb RAM. This Mac runs on the same network which is connected to the internet via an ADSL connection. I decided to try Limewire but since installing it I have had major problems with very slow downloads (even those showing 4 stars on a T1 connection). I have been unable to download 95% of things that I have tried so far - I keep getting requery's, waiting, messages etc. Very unlike the type of performance I was getting from my PC. I have been running this whilst there is no other traffic or users on my local network What makes this worse is that I've noticed that Limewire makes everything slow down on my Mac - making running Limewire in the background impossible. This is a very disappointing experience of the Limewire community. Has anyone else suffered these problems? If you have a solution please let me know! Thanks Last edited by snyper; January 26th, 2003 at 06:55 AM.  |

 Try looking at the Process Viewer and/or the CPU monitor. Chances are, its' chewing up your RAM and processor cycles. I have the same system with 1 gig of RAM, and it hogs a lot of it. The promised version 3 is supposed to improve things a bit, and hopefully Limewire and Java will play nicer together. Other than loading up on RAM or buying a dual gig processor, I think we are stuck for now. |

| The problem is that only with Apple's Java LimeWire causes crashes and freezes. I don't know if 3.0 will fix much of those problems, because the LimeWire developers can't do much about memory leaks and inefficiencies in Apple's java implementation. |

| There are a few things that make LimeWire slow and that can be improved. However I don't think anybody has seriously started working on it: http://www.limewire.org/project/www/performance.htm It's a document Christopher Rohrs wrote before leaving LimeWire. - I was quite surprised to see, that he left, - he suddenly disappeared from the LimeWire.com site. That means there are only three developers left, working on LimeWire. I think it's definitely time, more open-source developers start working on LimeWire. |

 smells like socialism... hi there many thanks for all your answers which i will investigate. it seems that the solution, if i understand correctly, is to increase my RAM to 1 Gb, buy a dual 1Ghz processor upgrade, invest in a T1 connection and wait for Apple to sort out their version of JAVA. mmm, don't think the record industry has got much to worry about then! but then again if there are only 3 engineers working on Limewire - who can be surprised? if i could help i would but there must be some coders out there who have downloaded and benefitted from open source and limewire in the past. seems to me that if Limewire and products like it are going to succeed in the face of the industrial miltary complex then we'd better get our crap together. of course, everyone likes freebies until they have to pay or contribute then it's often sayonara... love y'all! snyper |

 Acquisition is THE BOMB! message to Jannus and anybody else reading this thread: I checked Acquisition and my initial feedback is that on my combination of hardware and operating system it downloads at least 10 times faster than Limewire and in some cases more than 15 times with no noticeable reduction on my Mac's performance, i.e. i can run it in the background. all this without having to fart around with all the geek settings that Limewire provides. (sorry guys!) On this basis I would certainly recommend it to anyone having problems with Limewire on Mac OS X Thanks for the tip! Last edited by snyper; January 26th, 2003 at 06:57 AM. |
