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. |

 V2.9.8 works poorly w/ OS 9.1 Scoured the fora and find no solution to below: Operating LimeWire v2.9.8, on a Mac 7300 w/ Sonnet G3/450 MHz PCI upgrade card and Sonnet Tempo Ultra ATA66 PCI adapter card and a 30 GB Quantum drive dedicated to Audio and Image files (aiff, mp3 and jpeg), most of which are audio (sharing 245 mp3 files). RAM is 256 MB, 60 nsec. LimeWire operates poorly; starts to download file(s) at 3K to 5K/sec (mostly 1k-2K/sec), then after 1% to 6% completion (rarely >10%, once 63%), it stalls; msg "Could not download; Awaiting more sources. It RARELY continues. CONNECTED button lists 3, occasionly 4, hosts and apparent activity (however, don't know what the data under the cols. MESSAGES (I/O), DROPPED (I/O) [pct/0], BANDWIDTH (I/O) [0.0xx/0.0yy] means; HELP nor USER GUIDE informs). If computer goes into SLEEP mode, when awakened, LimeWire freezes. Changed SLEEP to NEVER and left the computer on all night (monitor pwr-down). No progress on downloads. Tried again all day; even tried restarting computer and new searches. NADA. In three days was successful in downloading 3 tunes. Even tried RAM Disk of 25 MB. No other app'ns running; only app'ns on this drive are OS 9.1, LimeWire, iTunes 2.0.4, Toast 5.2.1, and RealPlayer 6.0.9.584, which I've yet to use, so it's not likely an extension conflict. Any suggestions, anyone?  |

 Yes. If you want to download a song, try several results from the search window (like 5 to 10) at once and keep the best download. Maybe the resume button will work again in 3.0.

| Response to Trap_Jaw Trap_Jaw: I've tried that...many, many times. Two or three start to download, get a few pct. progress downloading, then stop. RARELY resume, and if so, again stalls. Per other thread in forum, downloaded older v 2.8.6 and reinstalled that. Still no change. Still frustrated. |

| Defeatist talk If you think things are bad in rural America, try being thousands of miles away in Singapore. I never make a "live" connection in more than 5% of tries and of those 5%, most stall at some point during the download. I turned LW into a game, devising strategies for optimising the download percentage once a connection was made and I now get very good results, albeit with concentrated effort required. Just leaving it to the machine is useless. You have to be proactive. And you are correct. LW does not survive sleep. You have to keep it awake. Now my experience should tell you that you can download several hundred files a week. But to get improved results, you have to want to experiment and learn from that experience. Do you want that improvement badly enough? |

| Defeatist talk David 91: I've experimented with every trick I can think of; for hours and days. If, as you attest, <<Now my experience should tell you that you can download several hundred files a week>>, perhaps you will share your discoveries and not tantalize. |

| Sorry People like me who allocate some time to answering these questions have lives. I do not know what you may or may not have tried and I have no intention of sitting here for an hour or so, writing a How To Guide from Step One just on the off chance that I may help you to improve your performance. Have you noticed how many other people have responded to this thread? At least I was prepared to offer the encouragement that improvement is possible. It seems that you want to add the annexing of my time without payment to the illegal downloading of copyright material without payment. This attitude will not earn you friends. |

 Springer, mac 9.01, comcast, limewire, 5kb per sec sucks! Springer: Your so right, I just installed limewire, and its not working with me either. I think its the programming. It might be that comcast is is not letting too much traffic through on the port. Who knows... Will keep researching though, and if that fails, I am leaving limewire in the mud. But what a waste of time. Its free, but I should not have to troubleshoot the software... |
