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.

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. |

 LimeWire Not Ready for Mac LimeWire 1.4b for Mac is in itself a very good attempt for replacing "Napster", however my experience with the program on a Mac G4 has been nothing but disaster!! After 3 attempts with Ver. 1.3, and 4 attempts with 1.4b I have had nothing but Desktop and Finder corruption due to flawed programming. The longer I had the program installed the worse my machine ran. Pulling LW out and running Techtool Pro 3.0.3 and Norton 6.0 and replacing specific System files was my only salvation. Good backups of my Hard Drive were also key! It has been a very disappointing situation, because I to looked to LW as the answer to losing "Napster" I am running Mac OS 9.1, and MRJ 2.2.4! There is nothing wrong on my end. Unfortunately there are just to may flaws. My advice to Mac users is wait until the software is further debugged and refined. If you want to take chances that's fine, but understand the consequences. I will continue to try LW out as other versions are made available, but my advice to all is be carefull!!  |

 guys...have you tried 1.4b for os x? it requires to delve into the terminal (which i personally like...using unix at work, albeit on a basic level...but nonetheless...i love the command line...a LOT of power in there!) i haven't tried the os 9.1 version, so i can't really compare...but there doesn't seem to be signs of corruption yet under os x...knock on wood since i've only been running it for about 1/2 hour by now...but i'm downloading an mp3 as we speak...so it doesn't seem that bad at all...still a little slow, being a java app and all ....but quite a bit snappier than furi on os9.1 which i could never find hosts on...limewire for os x finds hosts automatically...real cool just in case...here are the basic steps to get limewire running in os x from the terminal window (command line) 1. d/l the file 2. open terminal window, and go to path of where file was d/l'ed 3. type "sh LimeWire.sh" (remember...unix is case sensitive) 4. message appears saying "Preparing to install..." (this will take a few minutes ...be patient and let it run... 5. window will appear...choose install folder/path 6. once completed...navigate from command line to LimeWire directory.... 7. once in LimeWire directory...type "./LimeWire" 8. again, wait a few minutes...and the nice graphical interface of LimeWire will appear...the application is simply "java" as far as the finder is concerned... good luck |

| I would cautiously disagree with this negative assessment. I am running OS 9.1 on an iMac DV+, and I have seen steady improvement in the last few Limewire releases. There are still problems, but fundamentally the software looks very impressive. At least, when I can SEE it.... The most vexing problem I've encountered has been a failure of the software to properly re-draw the active window, especially when switching from (say) "Search" to "Connections," then back again. As a non-techie user, it's hard for me to assess how much of this problem lies with LimeWire itself, and how much arises from the Mac's implementation of Java. In any case, the LimeWire team appears to have been trying to rectify the problems, and the situation has improved considerably since version 1.2, the first one I tried. My own feeling is that we should be supportive of this very worthy and ambitious cross-platform undertaking. I am grateful to the LimeWire folks for continuing to support the Mac platform. |

| good with 8.6 seems like a good app to me, running on an pre g3 power mac using os 8.6 for about 20 hours total. it appears stable, even running beside active netscape, rapster, photoshop, and soundjam! no evident corruption to remainder of the system to date (2 weeks). there are some bugs with the file sharing library, with it's ability to recognise certain imported files as well as some shortcommings with the GUI but on balance not critical. oh yeah, it is damn slow loading and getting up to usable speed, up to 5 min. otherwise, i like it! |

| scrod...i coulnd't agree more with you!!!! i've also been running lw under os x (check my post above) for the past 3 days and it's been running great!!! just goes to show the power, stability, and ease of porting of unix. os x is definately the way to go... cheers |

 Doesn't even instal 2 Downloads and 4 instals only resulted in stuff (folders, log documents) in my trash - what I take to be a failure to instal for some unknown reason. The logs could have been a bit more informative as to what was happening. All I can say is that such a result is better than a crash. Any ideas? G4/500/256/OS9.04 |
