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.

Talking hanging on core components

ok i've found a way round this problem..its long winded so bear with me..download the english only version from the limewire site which will bounce you to download.com ..i tried this and it refused to download so i clicked on the " click here if your download doesn't start " button which gave me an alternative download site..left clicking this gave me a screen of code rubbish but right clicking and choosing the "save document as " option gave me a .dmg version of limewire 3.5.8 which installed and runs fine..well it seems to so far anyway...be warned that it still seems to take a long time to load the core components bit but so long as you dont get the ball of death thing [ i'm using 10.1.5] then you should be ok

Internet Explorer has troubles with .dmg files--sometimes the cache has to be cleared too before a clean installer can be downloaded fresh. Has anyone tried by using Safari, or downloading Jens-Uwe Mager's pro-like version of LW 3.5.8 (http://baghira.han.de/~jum/LimeWire.html)?
I wonder too if anyone has seen anything odd in the Console (Applications->Utilities) logs when the problem occurs. If so, you can let the LW developers know by mailing the relevant entries to bugs@limewire.com, or post them here and hope a coder can interpret them.

I'm on 10.2.6, so sorry if I can't help more. OS 10.1.5 got the new java update too, right? If this would help, I dropped the OSX basic installer for the pre-java update version (3.4.6) onto the public folder of my iDisk. You're welcome to grab it as a back-up. Choose Connect To Server from the Finder's Go menu and type http://idisk.mac.com/stief4-Public (doesn't work as a link--you have to paste or type it into the Connect window)

Cheers. Glad you got it working gizmatron.

[edit: here's the link to the other thread on this problem http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=21807

previous versions of LW are available at
http://www3.limewire.com/download/
http://www9.limewire.com:82/download/
(each version is a collection of all the installers for that version--it's a 60 mb download)]

Default re 10.2

hiya steif...i have another problem now..the limewire works fine so i downloaded the dmg of 10.2 as i'm currently using 10.1.5 ....it wont mount using the disc copy in 10.1.5....i had this problem before when a friend sent me 10.1 as a disc image on a cd and of course it wouldn't mount in 9.2.1 as he had created it using 10.1 disc copy...i think this is the same problem..if so many thanks to the 100 or so people who have the 10.2 install in a format you can only mount if you alrteady have 10.2...i know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but there you go....can you mail me a copy of the 10.2 disc copy [ giz77@free.fr ] or post it somewhere so i can download it..not sure if i will be able to get around the problem like that but i think so...assuming it isn't just a corrupt download of course..

giz--the last thing you want to fiddle with is your OS! I recall (months ago) some people complaining that the "10.2" turned out to be a porn flick or the pre-release version. Looks like some people need to inspect their shared folders. You could try chatting with those folks and finding out if the .dmg's really do work. Frankly though, I wouldn't risk it.

There might be a Disk Copy 10.2.3 in my idisk that you could look at, but I doubt that will help. Glad to hear that LW is worlking well for you.
À votre santé.

Default thanks

thanks for the help stief...the disc copy on your idisk wont run on my os..i guess you need 10.2 to run it so i am in the same place i started..yeh i tried the chat but none of the people sharing 10.2 seem to be on chat so far..i am willing to bet that they installed the 10.2 before they created the disc image though which is why its no use to me...apple seem to change the disc copy each time they update it so that older versions never mount images created with newer versions...bummer..its not like there are loads of different downloads of the .dmg.....there are usually just the two..disc 1 and disc 2 with about 30 - 50 people listed for each..on limewire anyway...was going to try acquisition after i was having loads of problems with the limewire but 10.2 needed minimum...which is what prompted this saga to start in the first place..oh well..watch this space
