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.

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. |

 Thank you stief! You are a scholar and a gentleperson. I am d/l now and I do so much appreciate this. I'll update on the results of the comparison. BTW - I did see the 70mb archive, but I wasn't certain it was what I needed so I didn't d/l it. Thanks for the access to the much smaller d/l. ETA: finished the download. Thanks.

| Update with 3.8.10 Well, I can't explain it, but suddenly I'm back where I was. Getting minimum 30k and peaking at over 100k on the same downloads I tried using 4.0.x Pro. According to Limewire there should be no difference, but for me there certainly is. I connect to more Ultrapeers - and connect faster - and seem to be able to d/l from more hosts. It will be interesting to see if I become an Ultrapeer again, as I was before the 4.x "upgrade." Thanks stief and everyone else for the suggestions, help and support. |

| very odd--and interesting! If you can spare the time, could you try to figure out where the difference lies? The example bug report (without the sample java crash) usually contains all the key info. Which installer did you use, and does this one allow incoming connections? Thanks for keeping us posted. |

| Observations so far - 3.8.10 Bug report still says "false" on the received incoming sessions, but I have no idea what it reported before, as I never thought to check (or even realized it might be an issue). What I can say about the "downgrade" back to 3.8.10 is this: I can connect to far more Ultrapeers than with 4.x (sometimes as many as 10, while with 4.x I had a maximum of 6) My ability to connect to these Ultrapeers is much faster I can usually start a download at - at least - 30k and it will sometimes peak to 100k and usually steady down to about 60-80k. I love to get the 100k+ speeds, but I'm content with 60+. I'm seeing MANY more results, even with my search filters at 4 stars - Cable/DSL or higher. I'm seeing files that I didn't see using 4.x and the same settings. Also, I've set my preferences the same as I did in 4.x (which I will be happy to list if anyone is interested). ETA: I'm now d/l a 200mb file and have settled into a speed of about 80k. Woooohoooo! Last edited by Techwomyn; June 20th, 2004 at 01:24 PM. |

| Cool. I hope you've found a bug, with 4.0.6. Would you be so kind as to try a little check? If you quit LW, and quickly run the 4.06 installer (it will continue all your existing dl's and prefs), you'll have a fair comparison. See if 4.0.6 is now just as good (should be better!!!). Thanks [oops--forgot to also ask to save the bug report from the 3.8.10 first--command-A, command-C, and paste into a textedit doc] Last edited by stief; June 20th, 2004 at 01:45 PM. |

| 4.0.6 should increase the speed again. Downloading from incomplete sources was fragged up, so you couldn't connect to most sources. Here's the bug-report they had in the Manager at LimeWire: http://www.limewire.org/jira/browse/CORE-1 Should be fixed now.

| I've tried old versions, and no luck there. I'm still really frustrated. I haven't gotten ahold of my ISP to ask about any throttle they may have on p2p DL's, but folks are uploading from me at capacity. Also, it started using me as an Ultra peer again... not sure what changed it. About 3 days back, one DL got up to 18K and I have no idea why. Whether I'm DLing 1 or multiple files, each one seems to cap at 5K. Here I kept stacking on files that each found between 50 and 150 sources:  |

| I haven't made any changes or restarted since the last post, but this morning, a single DL seems to be able to reach 7K, but still is capped there. Each additional DL I add gets up to that speed.  Why won't a single DL get a higher speed?!?! Ugh. |

| Hi Tolman Those numbers don't make sense over repeated trials--surely something is amiss. If it isn't the ISP, then . . . here's some other thoughts: Do you have the Dual Processor? There's been a fair bit discussion about a bug with Java and DP macs over on http://www.macintouch.com/index.shtml (search for "Azureus Kernel Panics" ). Someone elsewhere fixed the problem by reinstalling Java. Reinstalling Java is quick and easy http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120309. If something is messed in your preferences folder, then an install into a new User Account (make it an Admin) should reassure you that it's not in your Home Folder set-up. You could also try the CVS build of LW (thanks to Jens-Uwe Mager) http://www.mager.org/LimeWire/LimeWire.html. It also has a "suspend uploads" button which will eliminate that variable. That's all I can think of for now [link edit: thanks arne--I forgot to doublecheck those byw--Gregorio has submitted a magnet patch! http://www.limewire.org/pipermail/co...ne/000457.html] Last edited by stief; June 23rd, 2004 at 12:10 PM. |

| @stief: Please remove the dot at the end of the link. Then it works. Else, I also don't know more, sadly. Didn't yet have the problem.
