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.

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.

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.

wierd crashing problem on osx 10.3.9 recently i reinstalled the os from scatch after re-formatting the disk, applied the upgrade, repaired the disk and permissions after this. installed limewire 4.1,9 pro and all ran smoothly for half an hour and it crashed. it crashes all the time after half an hour or so. however, if i boot it up and leave it, ie, no searches then it will run for days. tried all the usual stuff, repairing permissions, trashing preferences. any ideas or is it a question of waiting for the next version of limewire g4, 2x1.25 2gb ram osx10.3.9 lw 4.10.9pro, (latest) tia |

I haven't used 10.3.9 for a while, but if I recall correctly, reinstalling java would sometimes help, especially in a new user account. We waited a long while for Apple to release a java that wouldn't crash, and so far I haven't seen any KERN failures with OS 10.4.6 and java 1.5. THe VMem problems are still present, though. I know the LimeWire developers have let Apple know about such problems, but there is not much else they can do. Wish I knew of a better solution than upgrading the system or reinstalling a new one |

wish I could--so far I think the analogy is: thread is to program, what process is to system. I'd be happy to hear a better explanation Sam knew of a way (NIO) to have a single thread handle many jobs at once, and so rather than creating a new thread for every job, like connecting to a host, one "connecting" thread can handle multiple connections. This means more CPU use within a single thread. IIRC, he has found a way to create single threads for uploads, connections, downloads (and more). I recall other developers before Sam trying to work on NIO, but that seriously involved major rewrites of much of the code, as you can imagine. MAJOR credit to Sam for seeing this through, and so successfully I was honestly expecting many bugs, and am surprised there are so few. |

stief asked me to elaborate on NIO, so here's an elaboration that I tend to use when explaining what I do all day to friends and family (while I'm working on NIO things)... Java's primary means of sending and receiving data from the network is using "streams". Streams are very basic ways of saying, "I want to write X" and "I want to read Y". A write to a stream doesn't finish until all of it is written, and there's no guarantee a read will finish at any time. So, you need to create a "Thread" to do these reads and writes. This is kind of like holding a conversation -- you need to devote a specific resource to maintaining the conversation with a person. Otherwise, if you tried to converse with many people at once, someone may experience a long delay between topics, as you were engrossed with someone else. Newer versions of java introduced NIO -- new I/O. This allowed developers to write non-blocking I/O, meaning that you can just attempt to write or read, and it will only write or read as much as can be done right then. It also lets you know when something has room for more writing or has data that can be read. This lets you change the way you do network input & output so that you don't need to devote a specific resource to each conversation. Instead, you have a single thing that keeps track of all conversations you're currently in. When a conversation has something you can read, it informs anyone interested and they read as much as they can. The same thing with writing, connecting, and 'accepting' (being told someone wants to start talking with you). The major difference is that before NIO, LimeWire required 2 threads for each Gnutella connection (one thread for reading, one thread for writing), so each Ultrapeer had at the very least 120 threads. It also required one thread for each download source, another thread for processing each new incoming connection, and another thread for making a new outgoing connection. With NIO, this is all reduced to a single thread. Threads are a big deal because they waste resources on your computer. They're also a big deal because switching between them (what's known as a context-switch) is time-consuming. |
