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. 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. |

 For Mac freezing, try these things: 1. Setting up Java 1.5 though chances are you're already using java 1.5 2. Keep your shares less than 2,000. (if sharing mostly videos then half as many or less.) 3. Reduce your incomplete files; Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue! (click on blue link) 4. Disable Ultrapeer capabilities. Go to LW prefs, Advanced -> Performance & disable UP. Also disable TLS. 5. Set both uplds & downlds to autoclear. 6. Close all LW windows you don't need open at that time. eg: Connections window. 7. If you're not in front of your comp, then hide LW in the dock. 8. Don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality. May queue your files for much much longer. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find Sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time. Wiser & more effective is to search the file again. If you have a previous search tab open then control-click & choose Get More Results or Search again. For files that don't have search tabs open, control-click & choose search for .... 9. Make sure you have plenty of spare space on your OSX system drive. Personally I download to a different partition/hard disk drive. All OSX programs including the system use Virtual Memory (VM), so you need to be sure you have plenty of HDD space available for them. LW in OSX uses considerable VM, particularly if you have lots of incompletes, shares, are doing Resumes of files as hinted above.

| Thank You. Appreciated. All above had been done as a result of Thread searches, except Java 1.5. Will check that out. I suspect at this time cause maybe due to file being d/l. Popular A classic. Four days & nights to dl - minus freezing time (several). Over 750Mb, yet just over 8 mins play time (beginning of movie only). Have posted rating on Bitzi and red file'd it. Will see how things go over next week. Font and Smilie panel on this message pad not working - Is that normal. |

 Freezing Freezing still a problem after all suggestions and variations followed. Maybe this thread should be Re Named Freezing, which I cannot do. In last I said I was sharing 120 files. Not sure if am sharing iTunes or not. If sharing ITunes then the number is closer to 2000. |

| Check your numbers at bottom of interface. It will show no. # of files being shared. eg: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/attach...1&d=1162908502 which shows 1859 for shared at one point & 443 on the other. That's where you can see how many files you are sharing.  Re: smilies: go to advanced post (not quick reply!!!) or advanced edit options to get smilie options.  Also, go to LW Library window & click any folders with arrows to open them to see what is being shared. eg: iTunes shared library or this one Albumwrap/iTunes |

 Still Freezing It's 120 files as I first thought. Was Confused about the ticked box in Prefs>iTunes>sharing. But that is just for Locally connected computers I guess. Have red file'd all movies. Now sharing 90 Audio files only. Freezing still occurring. Managed to dl couple of small (10Mb) audio files between freezes. LW currently off. Could it be I have a virus? Thought Macs were immune. As for Font panel and smilies. Bit more complicated. when I click in panel, say for bold or colour or smilie it is like I'm clicking outside the box? Don't know what to do next. Trash and dl LW from scratch. In which case would I still get the pro I paid for? Sorry to be a bother. |

| It would not be a virus. I'm not having freezing problems yet my computer is quite old (QuickSilver 733 with 1.5 GB RAM & 22 GB spare OSX system drive space.) Let's take a closer look at your system: System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) & any other information you can provide such as no. of incompletes, etc. Try deleting your LW preferences folder whilst LW is CLOSED. The prefs folder is found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire But make a note of settings because once you restart LW, you will need to reconfigure all your settings including your download location, days to keep incompletes, speeds, etc. If you have a 2nd HDD (or partition), change download location to that instead if that's ok to do so. If still no improvements after applying the above, then try the following version which is based on LW Pro but is not the official release LimeWire cvs builds (4.13.4jum490) & choose one of the nightly builds (click on nightly build link). |

House. 8. 4.14.8 and 1.5.0_06 9. Spin - I phoned them. They Do not constrain LW. 10. Your test worked. 11. No, not sharing. 12. New problem. Not experienced but have dl and ul for couple months. 13. No firewall. 14. Port Forwarding. 15. Don't know, probably none. 16.Australia. Other Info. Have deleted LW prefs and restarted and reset. Currently still loading shared files (red to black progressively). Freezing occurs after short time when dl or when ul with no dl. Have 3 dl''s incomplete (audio) at the moment - Need more sources. Not worried about those for the moment. Usually have only 1 dl at a time with large size. Autoclear for dl and ul ticked. Tubo charged connection. When opening LW it seems it is not loading properly but that is just a feeling. Will see how it goes now after deleting/reinstalling prefs. |

| Froze after about an hour. Force Quit, then opened again. After reaching turbo connection, a minute or so, quit LW (force not necessary) but I noticed the quitting window did not display 'shutting down LW' and the blue bar indicated a stuck mode as opposed to smooth motion. |
