Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

 (a) LimeWire OSX FREEZING, & (b) Lots of Search Results, No Download? Just a query. A search finds lots of Results with same file size, similar Name, lots of numbers in the # columns and all same type. Obviously the same file. However download attempt is often 'waiting sources' or 'need more sources'. I have LW Pro and not sure what is going on. Tried all the usual things of find more sources and get more results, etc. Anyone got an answer?  |

| Yes, Thank you. I think you are right. I did not realize Fakes files were as large as 700 Mb. Took a lot of searches with Bitzi to find the real file. Downloading now Ok - except LW keeps freezing (unresponsive and lost internet connection). Have to Force Quit often. I think it is because I have too many things at one time (LW, Mail and Safari) and my 254/64 broadband plan cannot handle it. Hope it is nothing more serious. |

| Are you connected...ie Do you see full green or blue bars or do you see red bars ?? Do you have a wall in front of the globe ?? If yes, could you supply these details please... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-you-post.html If you are connected fine, try this.... Go to Tools > Options > Searching > Lisence Warning and make sure the box is not ticked and select apply... If that does not help try going to your Connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it... Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more... (try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...)  Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...

 roimay or Daniela? To Wondering Why: Are you replying to roimay or Daniela's difficulties? or Both? The 'Lots of search Results / No Download' problem was definitely a fake file issue. Solved/Understood by the Tech Spt>Download/Upload Probs>Fake Files in Search results site. As far as LW freezing and losing connection and having to Force Quit after a few hours give or take, I still don't know. Definitely not too many Apps open as I closed all except LW and it still happened. My Firewall is down (no wall). The connection bars excellent (Turbo Charged). I have now un ticked the license warning, so lets see if that helps. When restarted the connection hosts are different. so that is probably not the problem. Will wait and see for the moment. Downloads and Uploads still OK after restarting. Interestingly smilies no longer work, nor any of the font bar - dont know why - not important. For Daniela, the answers also seem appropriate so should check and go through your instructions. Finally, Thank you very much for Helping. It is appreciated. |

| That reply was for daniela0209.. But roimay you could try changing your Java version as some of the latest Java's have been a bit buggy for some... uninstall all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version.... Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

| Yes I am a Mac user. And I have not fiddled with Java yet. Though did update recently to 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2. BTW Ihave Mac 10.4.10 and LW 4.14.8 PRO also both recently updated/upgraded. Interesting though that at 98% of a 700Mb d/l, going well, it froze when I opened Mail and responded to your last. Had to Force Quit - Again. I had stopped sharing all the big and popular files and it seemed to be going well. Maybe it is just my low bandwith unable to cope? Leave it for the moment. I will check performance and see how things go after trying a few variations over the next week or so. Need that long as it takes a while to d/l 'stuff' and I want to see if it freezes when uploading only. |
