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. |

 Just open them "manually". Go to your Home directory in the Finder (the one that was initially named after you, you know, the one with the little house icon...) and enter the realm of the Shared folder *haunting music*. That is where all finished dlds go. The one that is real close to it, named Incomplete is for the ones that are, well, incomplete. It also contains the downloads.dat and downloads.bak files (which may appear as if open-able by a variety of applications, from quicktime and iTunes, to Stuffit and other crazy $hit) as well as the Preview files. Aside from the later, none can be opened. Returning to the "problem" at hand, go to the Shared folder and try opening files from there. Actually, always open them from there.

| Probably won't do you any good (and you must surely have tried it too) but don't double-click on them. Click then push the Dld button. If it don't work, open Finder and run a search for LW and erase everything. Then go to the site and reldld it. Reinstall. See what happens.

| Go to the Incompletes folder in the Finder (I explained before how to get there) and delete everything. Even the two downloads.bak and .dat files. (Don't delete the folder. Only the content) You will now have no incomplete downloads and anything you were dlding will be gone. Try dlding something now. Alos, do you have the latest Java? Run Software update to see (you probably do, so you may have to uninstall that too and reinstall it, but don't do that yet. Post back first)

| 'Might' be due to Locale Preferencing. Go to LW's Prefs (under the LW name at top left on screen) & select Advanced & Locale Preferencing. Make sure that the option box is ticked. Otherwise you might be receiving 'other' language data. Why might this have changed suddenly, who knows, you might have accidentally pressed the revert to default. Just a thought. |

| In the case this is a Java error (might have gotten corrupt or something), uninstall it the go to www.java.com and dld and re-install. Trash preferences, possibly run Disk utility and restore permissions and try relaunching LW again.
