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.

Hi! I'm using eDpro 4.10.9, and java 1.4.2_03. on a Mac OSX 10.3.5., with ADSL 512k (but on the end of a line)...
It seems for the moment (since I upgraded to the new version of LWpro), that every thing freezes : much more trouble in the search (looks like the CPU is to short... every click takes ages to result in something, trying to open a popup menu has no effect before at least 40 seconds! etc...
something else is that the downloads are at 0 all the time : it tries to connect... all the steps, and finally: "failure to download" (it may be different words since I translate it from the french). It was working fine before, though (but I'd try to very attentively config. it according to the Forum answers)...The uploads are working about fine, but not too high, around 4 to 10 ks ( I put a max at 50ks, and with only 10 uploaders to allow them more speed).
Let's come now to my second enquiry. To upload, I propose about 18gigas of videos, and also some MP3 music, and I wisch to favorize the music, since there is so little of real classical (I mean that many pieces on the search, annonced "classical" are in fact light music or, variety players playing classical pieces, and then, only the title is original ! ex: the Klayderman's, Rieux etc...) so, when I see someone trying to download from me a piece or an other, I'd like to give them a little push to help. On the eDonkey client, one can add a priority, as well for the uploads and the for the downloads : low, normal and high, and of course, pause and resume like here. I didn't find anything of that sort... I tried for a short time, to unshare all the films, thinking it would give more band to the "music pumpers", but it helped only a tiny bit, so, I came back to the film sharing, for the waiting crowd. it is at that moment that I discovered (in the corner of a wrong manœuvre) that there is such a things as magnet threads and a magnet file... I don't really know what they are, but suspect they can be very usefull to solve my second problem. I've try to find some data about it using search, but found only three posts mentionning it, and not really adapted to my query.
Is it possible with it to make some uploads faster... or else, is there a way to let those uploaders directly connect to me and giving them in 2 tics what they wish?
I'd just like to add about my first problem (Download at stop) that those files are not very numerous on the net, but, are present and so, I am prepared to wait a bit for them... but the best LW comes to, some time, is waiting for busy hosts, and then trying again to connect, busy hosts etc... (on 10 files, I had only 4% from one in few weeks!) It seems surprising that those people would be all that time busy (few weeks now!) and, why, if they are on the net, can't I connect to them. And, as a cherry on the cake, during all that time, I've got the indication : turbo-charged-connection (!). eeack!

Following what I wrote yesterday on problems with 1) downloads at zero,(up loads quite OK), and 2)(and particularly) the time Limewire needed to react on any command with the mouse, in fact it was not really a lack of cpu, since, when I left limewire at solving hes reaction problems, and, waiting for either the click I did on a file to become a selection, or for the one I did to move a list up or down, to really have that list moving, so, When I then decided to do something in the between (quite few minutes!), and started to go out of limewire window, and open an other file or even an application, then, the reaction speed of the computer was OK... So, in the end, I decided to try an older version and reinstalled v. 4.10.0, and now, it works perfectly, at least, concerning the reaction time... as for the downloads, I think they are probably rare on the net... so I'll wait anyways...it'll make one more examplers available...when it's done! Though, I would be interested to know why is that, and if any one with osx 10.3.5 has had the same sort of troubles with that version of LW...
