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.

HELLO Joakim
Can you tell me the location of the SEARCH RESULT LIST?
I'm using 2.9.10Pro & can't find it.
Is it Library 'incomplete' list?
Many thanx in advance
Hello!

When you perform a search the results will come up in the window to the right. After you have performed several searches each search result list will be under individual tabs at the top of the search result window. I think that up to 8 searches will be saved then the oldest search list will be deleted when performing a 9'th search. When you are downloading something it will appear in the Download area/list and if for some reason the connection to the one you where downloading a file from got lost you will se the Could Not Download message. What you should do now is to highlight the particular file in the download area and click the Kill Download Button. Now look under the correct search tab that you found the file to download from and once again look up that particular file and then double click it and LW will now try to reconnect to the same host to se if it is still reachable and if it is LW will continue to download the file from where it left off. If not then you have to perform a new search with the same search term as the file name and if LW finds alternative sources for that file it will try to download it from there instead. If it does not find any you could just leave it there in the downloadlist and everytime you search for it LW will try to connect to the new sources and eventually you will get it. LW by default saves incomplete files in the Incomplete folder for 7 days before they get deleted. So you have 7 days by default to find it. After that then you have to start the download from the beginning(0%).

Ah yes crossed wires here! I thought that there was a 'researchable' menu area that I was missing. Your technique can only apply if Limewire is left running for several days with no more than 8 search tabs active.
I use the resume button under 'Library'-'Incomplete ' in any attempt to reactivate a connection.

Unfortunately I've never had Limewire run for more than a day without hanging/requiring a restart.
In point of fact I 'blame' L/Wire for causing Kernal panics.
If left running overnight I almost invariably rise to the dreaded 'Restart message'
Regards

Default Hmmm

Instead of getting this clearer, I think you have the wires twisted even more tightly. Let us take things to their simplest level. There are no automatic bells and whistles in Limewire. You have to do everything yourself. Although there is a Resume Button (and a hidden Force Resume) it does not work. There is no reconnect/re-search system. And leaving the machine for any length of time over one minute will not improve what you had at the end of one minute,

Step One. Search and download from the hosts in your search box. If you show up with anything other than a positive connection, highlight the original host and the failed download and kill the download and restart the download. If this fails to produce a connection, abandon that host and go on to the next one until you find a live connection.

Step Two. Management of the download. Most downloads stall so you have to be ready to go through the kill/restart download sequence every time it fails. For this purpose, you must keep the original listing under the appropriate tab in your search area. If it drops off because you do too many searches, you will not be able to restart your download. Use the manual delete (the little box with a cross in it on the tab) to manage your stored search results once you get to whatever maximum number of searches you have set in your Preferences.

You have to play Limewire like a computer game. Passively watching it will not achieve anything.

Default lets twist again

Thanks for the advice David
Twood appear I'm still @ the stage of typing with fists..........
Yet wait ...I've just gone to incomplete d/loads in the Library & 'resumed' a 6 day old search for Logic Platinum 6 OSX.sit. It reappeared within the Search list & proceeded to d/load 8% before reverting to C/N/D/load Await...etc.
I often leave things to reconnect & d/load to completion with varying degrees of failure.
I just disconnected/ reconnected to check Logic's current status- 'Waiting -- s for 1 busy'
The remainder in my search list still 'await sources'
Update: after 4hrs Logic now sits @ 12%

Default Well, some progress

Well, we have now moved on to the problem of the stalled download which is more difficult because you have lost the original source from the search box. One option, assuming that you have managed to reconnect from the incomplete file (which, incidentally, stores the address of the original host) is to use the "hidden" browse host. Once the download has begun, highlight the line in the downloads window and either option or command click (sorry I can't remember off-hand which it is). That will disclose a window menu in which one of the options is browse host. Of course, not all hosts are browsable but it does at least give you a second chance if the source stalls. Once you have the browsed source, highlight the object file in the search window, kill the download and restart the download. That usually reconnects you to the host and you can chase the download to an immediate and successful completion by restarting the download every time it stalls. Simply leaving it will never reconnect you. That facility was removed from Limewire several upgrades ago. The "awaiting sources" is simply warning you that you have to take action.
