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.

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.

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. |

 Hi (1) how does it freeze your mac ? Can you "force to quit "LW and continue to play with your machine ? Do you have a several languages message asking to reboot your machine (system error message following a Kernel Panic; example (2) Do you have no message but still forced to manually reboot the machine (power off then power on) ? (2) about the "special sound" Which stuff plays this sound ? LW itself, alone, when you do nothing ? Or a downlaoded MP3 you try to play (which would say that the file is corrupted) Out of LW, if you play a MP3 (from iTunes for example), iss the sound also "choppy" ? And last but not least, Douj, may we know a little bit more about your machine + OS ? Regards Phil  |

| (1) how does it freeze your mac ? Can you "force to quit "LW and continue to play with your machine ? It is completely frozen for 5 to 10 minutes (2) Do you have no message but still forced to manually reboot the machine (power off then power on) ? no. (3) about the "special sound" It is coming out of the mac itself. Like the hard drive is about to blow. I am using a g4 with os x (10.3.9) jaguar I have two 450 gig external hard drives. I don't have much space left on G4 System. Only 3.5 gigs left. Could that be the problem? And I moved my shared folder to G4 Storage. Could my firewall settings cause it? thanks |

| philippe99 will be better able to answer your questions. But as a note: 3.5 GB available is too little!!! All mac osx programs use virtual memory (VM) where they store temp memory to the hard disk drive. LW also needs space & the longer it's on the more VM it needs. Also, external drives can be a little slow at times. So saving to an external drive from LW 'might' be an issue. (But might not also.) If I were you, I'd free up more space on your HDD. Try to have over 10 GB available without programs running. You'll need to evaluate what needs to stay & what can be moved over to the external drives. Likewise I'm considering moving much of my iTunes library to external drive. I've already moved it off the OSX partition & HDD I have onto another internal drive. |

| If you're refering to Virtual memory, then no. Once you close/quit a program then that space used up is returned (both RAM & VM.) VM is simply a way of storing information which might otherwise have been stored in your RAM. (I have a utility which is supposed to clean up the use of ram & turbo charge selected programs but I have suspicions it doesn't really work! Which is why they decided to offer it for free after many complaints. lol  )As far as utilities that create temp files, generally if they are a responsible program they will have an option in their preferences which will give you an option for how long to keep temp files. This is generally used with programs such as video/multimedia converters, etc.) Most will delete these temp files after the end of the process or after quitting the program. Temp files being different to VM but has the same effect of using up space. Part of an issue with LW for OSX using a lot of VM is as a result of OSX's Java. From what I've heard the new Tiger, OS 10.4 now has Java 1.5 & is more memory efficient. Also I believe the LW developers are working on this VM issue for the next release; ie: so Java doesn't use up quite as much VM space. |

| Douj, (1) about free space My personal rule is to let free, at least, 2 times the space used by the installed OS Panther, if you do not have suppress languages and printers drivers, will use nearly 2.5G. And I give to my friends the following easy-to-memorize advice (for Panther):always let 4-5G free. (2) about cleaning cache,... CacheOut X (3) manually running the Apple maintenance scripts (if your mac is not on between 3AM - 5AM): Macjanitor (4) about Tiger; Tiger is not a free update, you'll have to buy it Your Panther 10.3.9 is a good OS for your G4 and I'm not sure you'll need to go to Tiger: my daugther runs Panther on my old G3 and runs LW fine. The shared folder is located to an external FW drives (as its Itunes Library) to avoid the G3 internal hard drive to run out space So in short * always let 5G free * put the big files (movies, Itunes library, ...) on your external drives * runs Macjanitor on a daily base to ensure best performances of your machine For any problem, questions: The Bible of Dr Smoke A remark: use CacheOut to clean you browser caches and other normal caches. Do not use CacheOut to clean you system caches on a daily base because this specific feature of CacheOut (which requires the admin password) is a hard procedure including a reboot: only use this extreme feature if you face big boot-sleep problems So, with all this, I hope you G4 is ready for a new life Phil |
