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. |

 Perhaps. First, can you check a couple of benchmarks? 1. Go to http://www.broadbandreports.com/stest and try one of their speed tests. This will tell you your regular Internet connection speed. 2. How do you connect to the internet (equipment like hubs and routers, home ISP/school LAN, etc) 3. In your LimeWire, go to Preferences->Bug Reports->sample bug report and look for "received incoming this session=True (or false). You can email or message me the bug report if you like, since it's too cumbersome to post it here. 4. What happens when you run Jaguar's System Preferences->Software update? cheers  |

| phuket: My opinion: So you've forced resumed all your files & now they have a status of Awaiting Sources. I'm not surprised your system is working so slow. But then I am surprised it'd happen on cable. If you have numerous amounts of resumed files it puts pressure on the system. It really can make LW work hard. It is continually sending out searches for sources until it gives up. During that time, your files will be continually queued & Waiting #secs for Sources in between each search/connect attempt. Whilst files will normally be queued for a period after you open LW, resumed files will potentially extend the period many more times. In my experience it stresses the search/connect process. Doing it for a no. of files is fine & can be very effective, but not numerous files at once. My suggestion would be to make a list of those files (& their full sizes), then delete them from the dwnld list, search for one & manually select to dwnld again. If no connect success, search again, then delete from list & select from search results again to dwnld. If it can't connect, try another. It might sound painful, but deleting large no.'s of dwnlding files from a list can freshen up LW. Particularly if they're all in that resumed state. Chances are it will be using up a lot cpu energy & ram if they're in the state that you suggested. Clearing them will reduce the strain on LW & your computer. (But don't delete them from the incomplete folder. Unless they're less than 10% dwnlded or something.) Just a suggestion, you don't have to agree. Make sure your java is up to date. OSX's java has a bit of a ram bug. It can have a slowness effect on LW & your comp. Best is to reduce that as much as possible if it's affecting LW's operation & your comp. by using the above suggestion as one approach. |

| Got your email, and your setup looks pretty good (ultrapeer works well). There are a couple of things you can still do. -check that your upload bandwidth is less than 90KB/s (this limits uploads overloading your setup). -turn on Partial File Sharing (this should help when downloading from many sources) -run a safe boot (restart the machine holding down the shift key), run Disk Utility's "repair permissions", and restart normally. Ask/or search the forums for more info/links on this step. Run LW and test the magnet download again. If no change, then -update to the latest beta version (4.1.5) from the link on the bottom of your Pro page (assuming it is still active). If it isn't, just use the regular free version, or the latest open source build from http://www.mager.org/LimeWire/LimeWire.html Better yet, help out the devs and renew the Pro. You show Java version 1.4.1_01 from Apple Computer, Inc, which I guess is the latest for Jag (1.4.2_05 needs OS 10.3.3). Is Panther an option for you? |

| I hate to suggest this, but looks like a clean install is the last option. You should be getting far better speeds. Before searching your hard drive and deleting all LimeWire files, there is another option. Create a new user in System Preferences, Accounts (with Admin Privileges), and install LW there. It will be just like installing on a almost new hard drive. Try the download speeds from that account. If there is no difference, the problem is either in your system or upstream of you. (Once done, you can log back into your usual account and delete the one you had just created.) |

 ok, so I set up a new user and restarted. Downloaded a fresh new copy of LW from the LW website at an average speed of 60K. Installed it and ran it. Tried downloading from Magnetmix but download speeds never exceeded 1K. I'm completely lost now. I installed OS X Jag from the original CD. Download speeds from the internet are fine. It must be something with LW ! Aaaarrrrggggghhhhh |
