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.

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. |

 Little Or No Results Coming From Searches I have used Limewire before, and used it to download software. I usually had no problems finding the software I was after, but after using it today no results are coming from my searches... (i'm looking for common programmes) which I had downloaded before on my old laptop about a year ago. I'm using a mac. Are there ways to increase my searching power? Is it a setting with my Limewire? Or have new restrictions made it harder to source these programmes? Thanks for your help.  |

| I'd just like to add to my last post. I've just tried searching for some very common audio files, tracks that are in the charts for example, and it still isn't returning any results! Limewire says that my signal strength is 'very strong'. I am confused! I remember Limewire returning lots of results on searches. Please help! |

| Yeah, me too I'm having the same problem. I had to install Windows on my MacBook Pro just to download what I need too. It works fine on the Windows side, but not the Mac side, and I'm just confused by this, because it's been working fine for a year now, and all of a sudden it won't return any search results. Any help would be greatly appreciated. MacBook Pro 15" 1GB RAM Max OS X 10.4.8 (Up to date) Win XP Pro SP2 |

| Both your problems could be ISP related. Your ISP's might be filtering LW's bandwidth. Jord I suspect you're probably in this boat because an ip check suggests you're using a well known ISP in UK that does not like p2p sharing programs. If you can tell us your ISP name I can direct you to more specific ideas & what to do's if possible. emmtee try downloading a magnet link from here & tell us what happens re: connecting to the file & speeds, etc. http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml If poor result, then try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; LW prefs folder is found here /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire Make a note of important LW settings however because after you delete the LW prefs, you will need to reset everything once you restart LW. |

| Yes, that's true, Lord of the rings... I had few monthes ago that sort of trouble with Free... all of a soudain, the search went almost blank, some files somehow continued to download and upload, but not terribly fast... and then it became worse, till finally LimeWire was meandering trying to connect from starting com to sometime fair com, but never turbo or even excellent or good (and indicating the presence of a firewall). As for eDonkey, it couldnt anymore connect to the servers, and only, sometimes on overnet... the only app to go through that machination was Ants, but being crypted from beginning to end, mixed up with other flows, and using other channels, I think it never was detected as a client for P2P... I such cases, I believe the only solution is to leave that sort of ISP (When it is proven) and also to tell him why, since, if enough people are doing so, it may make him think twice before doing it... |

| experience ! Well, experience comes with resolved past problems... that's the goal of life in its conquest of matter  I was first to naive to believe some ISP could be dishonnest ! and so, spent lot of time trying to correct what I thought was MY fault...  But the next pitt is to believe, if some new problem arises, that it would be necessarily caused by the ISP !...  |

| I am experiencing similar problems with the new Limewire 4.13.0 for Mac OS X Tiger. I get very few search results (compared to what I get on my girlfriend's laptop - which is windows based and under a different ISP) and any torrents I download remained fixed at the "locating sources" stage for days. What can I do about this? Thanks in advance. |

| Do you use LimeWire pro, or standard... since I seem to remember having read somewhere that one of the differences between the two, is the aptitude of the pro version to handle more peers together (then, obviously, more sources) But, you mentionned also yourself that one of the differences with your girlfriend, appart of working on Windows (but I'm working on mac, and it's fine) is ALSO the ISP... I would give to that more then just one consideration! go and have a look on Lord of the ring's post just a bit higher... and follow the link... some ISPs can indeed produce funny things (or not so funny!). I dunno if there are se same type of tests for LImeWire than for eD2k, but with the donkey, one can connect to some sites (one of them is bigwillystyle42), and they tell you if they succeded to communicate with your donkey... of course you could download the donkey just for the experiment... An other site makes also all the tests to see what your protections are... so, you can see what ports or fully open or shut or stielthed, and removing for few secs all your protections, if some appears stil shut, you can know, then that it is from your ISP (by the way, some are almost always shut by them to prevent you to be a server) <https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2>.

| Have LW open whilst you do the test at grc. Otherwise it will give you the wrong impression. I get 'closed' ports, yet with LW open I get 'open' port test results at GRC test site for the port LW uses. |
