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.

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. |

 Low Bits and Bytes  Don't know if this is the right place to put this, but putting it here in case other newbies setting up look here and haven't been to: Gnutella Forums > Current Gnutella Client Forums > LimeWire (Cross-platform) > Open Discussion topics > A few things to consider while configuring Limewire for optimal performance...It is long  but very informative.Also cos it does relate to Uploads. Anyway, I have ADSL/modem on a plan of 256 dl/ 64 ul Kbps (or 32 / 8 KB/s) - sorry folks that is all I can afford - and speed tests indicate dl of around 170 Kbps and ul of about 60 Kbps. Dividing by 8 for LW speed units this translates to 21 KB for dl and 7.5 KB for ul. These speeds are OK for me. I'm in no hurry and going nowhere particular. However: I was wondering Dear Wondering Why (or someone) if, With settings of: dl speed - 28.44 KB ul speed - 19.69 KB Uploads per person - 1 Uploads slots - 2 Max Downloads - 8 which I know are not as per the thread above but we are dealing with low bandwidth capacity here. my small bits and bytes are too small for anyone to Upload successfully or if I should change my settings. I noted in one thread the maximum downloads possible for LW Pro is 14. Is that the same for basic? Or is it set lower at 8, which seems to be the default?   |

 Just realised last post may be misleading. My Actual LW download speed is between 1 and 18 KB/s usually below 10 and Actual Upload speed, when on the rare occasion it has registered, is between 1 and 5 KB/s usually below 3. |

| 8 is max for basic, 10 for pro, but if using T3 can get higher (14 for pro.) But that's not the no. of downloads, that's the no. of sources per download file. BTW on 256/64 plan which I was on up until early this year, you won't actually get that speed. NOBODY gets the speeds quoted by their ISP. There are speed (overhead) losses due to distance from ISP, quality of line, losses due to equipment such as modem/router. My speed was around 27/6 KB/s from memory. I was always uploading. I had popular videos for a start, & people would start uploading almost as soon as I connected. lol  Your settings are similar to what mine were.In my experience, I always seem to do better when uploading. I also try to share similar to what I am downloading at the time. In that way it helps me to find & connect to users with files I am looking for. Try using the advanced search options, namely, Find More Results. That can be very handy to use every now & again. I also re-do my searches. Searching is & always has been MUCH more effective than using the find more sources/resume, etc. options. I also use show all qualities & speeds in my searches. Then decide myself whether those that might be difficult to connect to are worthy of choosing. |

| BTW you WILL need to port forward for your router if you are seeing firewall (brick wall) as I had a similar model router. See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...4g-router.html for similar model instructions for Mac OSX & also see Manual port forward instructions & sample image |

 It's a Miracle!  Thank you for your reply and ideas. Will leave settings. Currently am sharing around 30 files (well only just started) but this will increase.Interestingly only files I had d/l from LW were being u/l'd and none of my own. I turned these files off to see if it would help u/l my own. No it did not. A friend says she cannot find them - though they are getting lots of hits. Indeed, while d/l a file of about 570 Mb at poor speed, the whole thing came to a faltering halt (including Mail and Safari) after 20 hrs at around 40 - 50%. I shut both computer and modem down. Restarted, checked Mail & Safari -OK - reset LW - which automatically started wizard when opened - and I found many of settings had gone esp in sharing. Ensured all files available to share. Now it is going great guns, even got up to 20 KB/s a few times. So uploading, even if not my own yet, seems to help.  Don't Understand your last re BTW ....... etc. Thanks to your and others info in threads I got rid of firewall a while ago. Your Help and dedication is appreciated.  |

| BTW = by the way AFAIK your model router does not support UPnP. But I may be wrong. That means people may still be able to upload from you but are forced to push their way through. This can often be unsuccessful; particularly for non LW gnutella programs. If things are going well then fine.  |

 To Block or not to Block, Peer or not to Peer? Dear Ring Lord, Sorry to trouble you.  But when you said.In my experience, I always seem to do better when uploading. I also try to share similar to what I am downloading at the time. In that way it helps me to find & connect to users with files I am looking for. Are you saying I should block video uploads if I want to download audio files? I ask this as currently I am uploading many (maybe too many- will have to check my monthly limit) video files but cannot download audio ( waiting sources, need more sources, etc) though I know they are the less common ones. Also am still trying to get my head around ultrapeer, which I seem to be even with such low speed and my ultrapeer box unchecked, and leafs?? and should the OOB Searching box be checked or not. I cannot find appropriate thread.  Will keep looking but any pointers appreciated.BTW. Upnp is enabled and I am Port Fowarding. |
