When posting, please include details for:
 Your Operating System .......  Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) .......  Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) .......  The exact error message, if one pops up
 Any other relevant information that you think may help .......  Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you. To aid helpers in solving download/upload problems, LimeWire and Frostwire users must specify whether they are downloading a torrent file or a file from the Gnutella network.
 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.

Hello!

I can see that many people are having trouble with their Macs and LW!.

I have been using LW and Gnutella almost since it's infancy my first version I downloaded was 1.2 and my experience with it was terrible to say the least but the situation improved for each new version but I was never quite pleased with the situation untill version 1.8c was out.Here are the problems I had with it and my specs at the time:

Version 1.2-1.8c:

My computer's spec's:

iMac DV Srawberry 400MHz power pc G-3 processor
64MB RAM 128MB VM enabled on my HD 10GB ATA-66 5400rpm HD
Mac OS 9.0-9.04.32MB assigned to LW.56k V.90 modem

Here are the problems I encountered at that time:
Frezzes once every 5 minutes that lasted for 30 sec and then the computer un frozze itself just to frezze once again 5 minutes later.And about 2 times every day the computer would frezze completely and forced me to re-boot the computer.I could only run LW as a stand alone application If I tryed to run anything else at the same time I would be asking for trouble.

Present situation:
Version of LW 2.4.4!
Computer spec's:

iMac DV Strawberry 400MHz Power PC G-3 processor
320MB RAM VM turned off 41GB IBM ULTRA ATA-100 7200RPM HD
Mac OS 9.1. 41 MB RAM assigned to LW version 2.4.4
MRJ 2.2.4 Swedish version.ADSL broadband

The biggest reason I upgraded my RAM was so that I could turn off Virtual Memory on my HD and also run multiple applications at the same time.The reason I choosed exactly 320MB was because that is the exact limit when Apple recommends that you should turn OFF VM if you have less RAM then you should turn on VM.So this is one of the disadvantages of using Mac compared to PC's we need more physical RAM to have a computer that runns more smoothly and faster.The VM on Windows works better then Apple's Mac OS VM.

So now under this situation everything works wonderfully good and I am happy.Now I usually run the following applications at the same time:

IE 5.1.4
Mac Satellite 1.6.1
Mac IC connection app
iTunes 2.0.4
LimeWire 2.4.4
MSN Messenger 2.1
+ Some other app

And LW never frezzes on me and runs fast all the time(Ofcourse it is still slow to launch (Java disadvantage) but since I only do that once a day it does not mather).

My advice would be to get more RAM so that you have 320MB or more and to turn off VM and upgrade to latest version of LW and MRJ and all should be fine.
