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.

Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed.

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.

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. |

 POLL: so... what's yer dload/uload prefs? it seems i rarely see anyone ever completing a file that they download from me. i have my upload bandwidth at 26kb/s (i have cable connection) with 2 slots per user and a max of 5 users able to connect at a time. this seems fair. i want my files shared and vise versa. so what are your prefs and are your dloads/ uloads working for you? thanks the a b  |

 If you're on OSX, the firewall limits the people who can connect to you (sorry, I'm still trying to work around this and the NAT!). Too, LW serves out chunks in 97.7 KB, so if people can get them elsewhere faster, you'll not see many uploads, or only small chunks. Recently I've noticed I only see uploads in the Monitor pane when in leaf mode, and none when in Ultrapeer (seen in the Connections pane). LW has some logic that tries to find the optimal configuration of what's best for the network, and it's still under development. This means that some clients work better than others--watch the vendor/version column to see patterns. For some reason Acquisiton is having trouble completing downloads. Since any Acq client will be on OSX, the firewall will be a major factor here I think. I've left my prefs at default, but forced IP to help others get around my NAT, and disabled ultrapeer for the time being. Still not sure about turning the firewall off. about 1/3 of the uploads attempted complete, and d/l .mpgs usually complete--sometimes after trying for weeks to get the right host at the right time. Cheers. |

| so if no one can upload from me... so if no one can upload from me would it be wise just to reserve most of my bandwidth for myself rather than for uploaders. i have ultrapeer mode disabled also and anyone i see connected to me always has a dl rate of zilch. are people still getting 'chunks' here and there from me or am i just wasting bandwidth. i'm not behind a firewall but don't have OSX 10.2 so i'm stuck with lw. thanks. |

| ?? I've my slider set to 100%, with no regrets (cable here too). It doesn't affect searches, connections or downloads as far as I know. What OS/LW versions are you running, and can you see which clients are unable to upload in your Monitor pane? I'm a bit confused here (I thought you had OSX because this is the LimeWire>General Mac OSX Support forum). |

| now I'M confused... i do have OSX 10.1 with lw 2.8.6. ALL uploaders (not just some), if thier transfers aren't interupted or timed out, always have a dl speed of 0 kb/s. i'm now aware lw transfers in 'chunks' and that an uploader may only get a small portion of a file from me, but thier upload speed is always at zero kb/s. this means they're getting nada from me, correct? so OSX runs behind a firewall? is this true? i never knew i was behind a firewall. but my point and my concern is that, as far as i can tell, no one is realy uploading anything from me. thanks for help. |

| Ah! LW, unlike Acquisition (my favourite OSX client), doesn't display speeds between 0 and 1KB. The only way I know that they're still uploading is to look at the time column. As long as a time is being displayed, something is being transferred. Those downloading aren't getting much, but more than nada if they end up saying "Complete." Some end up "interrupted." I have seen some zip along at 24 KB/s, and complete. btw--most of my interrupted uploads are Limewire/Acquisition. Do any of them complete for you? In 10.2.4 the firewall settings are in System Preferences>Internet & Network>Sharing. I want to figure them out one of these days . . . but still not sure of the risks involved in turning it off. OS 9 didn't have it, but it wasn't UNIX based like OSX. You should uninstall 2.9.6 and download a fresh copy of 2.9.7 (it fixed some mac stuff, I hear). Your point is good, but until we figure out how to handle the OSX firewall, others will get their stuff very slowly from us. Something is better than nothing, and they decide if our stuff is worth waiting for. At least you just have the firewall to worry about--I've got to figure out the home network NAT problem too. I'd rather see more ups than downs, or feeling like a leech. For now, I just let whoever can connect, connect. Cheers. |

| Upload limit just means that the same IP has simultaneously tried to download more than the number of files you allow at once (3 is default I think). Did you install 2.9.8? The download page is here |
