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.

Unhappy

"Get LimeWire 2.9.8!"

... I tried to, I got the same error. It tried to open the file in ACDSee (my image viewer) then said: "The file "LimeWireMac.bin" is damaged or in an unreadable format."

So I tried to reinstall the old version, and get the same things as before. When I click the "Details", I get:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Main
at com.zerog.lax.LAX.launch(Compiled Code)
at com.zerog.lax.LAX.main(Unknown Source)
at com.apple.mrj.JManager.JMStaticMethodDispatcher.ru n(JMAWTContextImpl.java)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java)


Does that help any? I'm getting frustrated with this, I've tried the suggestions with the limewire.lax file, or whatever it was back there... restarted... replaced the whole file with the text in that reply... restarted... uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted... *pulls hair out* heh =)

But I do thank everyone for all their suggestions thus far, it helps to know someone's actually trying to help.

Try LimeWire 2.9.7 or 2.9.8 (not 2.9.8.2).

Luckily I hadn't deleted my files. So mine appears to be working for now, despite the dire warning that I wouldn't be able to connect. Hope somebody figures this thing out for us.
delete the .bin file extension then launch it again, select open with stuffit expander

Hello!

All people well almost all people that uses LimeWire on Classical Mac OS 9.1 or above uses that path. But anyway changing the content of the LAX file obviously dont work. Finally we are getting somewhere with this issue. It seems that the second version of 2.9.8 the so called 2.9.8.2 is corrupt and are missing some files or have faulty code lines and are basically corrupt and does not work atleast not the Classical Mac OS version. The simple solution is to do what trap_jaw suggested and download and install the first version of 2.9.8 instead. Which is available here:

http://www3.limewire.com/download/2.9.8/

Finally a temporary solution but the LimeWire team must do some fixing work for the next update.

FINALLY! Yes, it worked for me too. *hops up and down* Thank you everyone.

To the person that had the "damaged file" message, I dragged it and dropped it on the Stuffit Expander alias I had... and it worked.

But yeah, only 2.9.8 worked, I guess I assumed that when I clicked on download, that was the version it was downloading. 2.9.7 didn't work for me either.

So yeah! Thanks so much guys, I was going nuts not being able to dl any music. You're all wonderful.

Now I'm back to square one. "Disconnected / no files available"... which ironically, is the reason I was trying to download a newer version in the first place, to see if it would fix that problem. *grin*

Ah, the wonderful world of computers.

If anyone knows the answer to that, I'm all ears. I assume I need to add more servers, or something? I'll go post it in a more appropriate group though...

Hello!

Since it is the first time that you are running the newly downloaded LW it will hash and index your files if you share any files. It can take quite some time the first time to get the green light indicating a successfull connection to a UltraPeer. So just be patient and see if it will connect after a couple of minutes. And during this time you should watch the things that happens under the Connection tab. Here you can monitor all connection attempts. About 90% of the connection attempts should fail with 10% beeing successfull. When you have 3 connections going out to 3 UltraPeers then LW has successfully connected.

Smile Finally Back in Business! Whew!

Well, I tried superduck 94's suggestion and deleted the .bin file extension. Worked like a charm. I installed LimeWire, but then COULDN'T OPEN IT! Something about not being able to read the Java script. This was not a good thing, since my version had worked before I took his advice.

As a last resort, not expecting to have any luck at all, I tried Joakim Agren's link to v. 2.9.8. Went through the download process again, deleted the .bin. file extension. and this time everything sorted itself out. Don't know how. Don't know why. Just know I'm happy.

So thanks to superduck for the .bin tip, and to Joakim for the 2.9.8 link to use it on!
