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.

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. |

 Limewire cuts off my inter net connection! Hi, I have an Apple Mac, G5, running OS X 10.3.9. I am using a speedtouch 330, usb adsl modem. My ISP is Bulldog. I have seen on a lot of forums that this version of OSx has a lot of problems. I have read and tried everything but nothing so far has worked. The problem i have is that Limewire only runs for around 10 minuites and then all downloads stop, my internet connection disconnects but does not actually complete the disconnection- but i still cannot connect to the internet. I have to restart my computer. I have noticed that at this point, if i close and re-open Limewire, in the Limewire status window a firewall is detected - but my firewall is off and the limewie port already allowed. I have downloaded all java updates, turned off my firwall, allowed the limewire port on the firewall. Tried using the UPnP option but the same thing happens. Even tried uninstalling my modem, but didnt work. Heard about port forwarding, but this doesnt work for me again, tried a few times. Called Bulldog but they refused to help as my internet connection is fine if limewire is not running. Emailed Limewire twice with no reply. Feel like smashing up my mac but it cost too much to buy the bloody thing. Can anyone give me any advice on what i can try to fix the problem? Thanx a lot. Alexis Davis- Ihekweme  |

| Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. How much ram? 2. Hard Disk space available? 3. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 4. What version of Limewire (LW) do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW. 5. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 6. Do you use the Resume/Find Sources function on all your files after you start LW? 7. Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? 8. How long has this problem been happening? How long have you been using LW? And has the present problem only started with the present version or earlier? 9. Have you checked to see if your model needs any firmware updates: http://www.speedtouch.com/support.htm 10. Are you using the modem through your USB2 port? Or your USB1 port? USB1 (such as your keyboard uses) will be too slow & unreliable. Ethernet modems are much faster & reliable than USB. |

| Hi, Thanx for your speedy reply. 1) RAM-1GB 2) HARD DISK SPACE AVAILABLE- 88.84GB 3) Trying to connect from home 4) VERSION OF LIMEWIRE - 4.10.5 Pro, Java 1.4.2_09 5) Connection is not shared 6) Do not use resume/ Find sources function on all files after i start Limewire. Sometimes i do, but if so, only on one or two files that need more sources. 7) TEST RESULT - True 8) This problem has been happening since i began using Limewire, so for around a month and a half. Had the problem with this version and the earlier version. 9) Downloaded the update that you gave, restarted the computer and started limewire-same problem. Tried twice and still happens. 10) I am using my modem through the USB2 port (back of my mac) Thanx again. |

| To see if we can work out if the problem is what I suspect it is, try something for me. Go to Utilities folder, open up Activity Monitor. Keep a pen & paper handy. Then open up LW, make a note of how much RAM, CPU & especially VM (virtual memory) that LW uses. Make recordings every 5-10 mins. Do a search & see if the VM amount increases notably directly after this. And keep making recordings up until you lose connection. BTW does LW crash at all? If yes, post segments of the crash report. (You'll find crash reports under -> OSX HDD >Username>Library>Logs>Crash reports) (BTW see my pm (personal message in your user cp) |

| I can apparently no longer pm you or reply to your pm's. Perhaps you changed your options. What I was going to say was, for LW bouncing in the dock syndrome, reinstalling this is usually the answer http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...update142.html If you did it once, then perhaps you need to do it again. I'm sure you still have the installer if you did it once before.
