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. |

 Files Slow down and Connection dies Ive been trying looking into this problem for days now but I cant seem to find exactly what the problem is. Ill list my specs and other symptoms. 1. OS version? Windows Vista Home Premium 2. What firewalls you have? EZ Armor Internet Security 3. How much ram? 2048 mb ddr2 4. Hard Disk space available? 90gb 5. Connection type? broadband 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Motorola Canopy Subscriber Module, Linksys WRT54GS v6 with DD-WRT v23 sp2 firmware 7. Where are you trying to connect from? Home...out in the country 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW V.4.12.11, Java SE Runtime 6 (newest one) 9. Who is your ISP provider? Kingston Online (Wireless) 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? It worked 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Limewire worked for me on windows xp sp2 but hasnt worked since i got my new computer 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes - My ISP send my signal wirelessly to my house and the modem is mounted on my antenna so I cant do anything with it. -Limewire is allowed in my firewall and it has been set up for port forwarding in the router usinng portforward.com -Had no issues with Xp Media Center but i cant remember if Limewire could detect a firewall on that computer. - I can download a single small file like an mp3 but any large files give me problems. They are much slower than on XP (download at 4 kbps as oppsed to 80 before) and the speed also fluctuates a lot. It will peak and then slow and crash my internet connection and then restart. - If I try other p2p programs or torrents its the same. Thats all i can think of but let me know if there is anything I missed. Basically the only difference on my system is Vista and I cant seem to get this to work. Any thoughts are much appreciated.  |

| Did you ever connect with your currnet set up, if so just double check that your port forwarded number is still the same in the listening port box and the manual port forward box in limewire... Also try disabling your EZ Armor Internet Security and see if you can get a better result... Are you running Vista security at all...It's not wise to run 2 at once....

| Vista firewall is disabled. I had just installed EZ Armor today and was using Vista firewall before that. No change with either allowing limewire or being disabled. As far as connecting, I can get full green bars right away but just cant download at the right speeds if thtas what you are asking. Also, both ports are still the same. |

| Something is definatley blocking your speeds... I'm a little confused about what you have put down for your speeds is the 1467 the kbps or the KB/s... And I take it the 25 - 35 is KB/s not kbps...Could you just clear that up..  When you Port Forwarded your Router are you sure it worked properly and did you set up the static IP first ??

| Sorry about that both speeds are in kb/s. As for the port forwarding I followed the steps on portforward.com exactly and put the settings into my router but other than that I wouldnt know if it was correct I guess. |

| Hmmm this is a hard one...Try these fixes it may help, it's worth a try... Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE offline version....(4th one down) http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer... http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...oadfree2.shtml If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36420

| Ok, I did all three and no change. Any other ideas? Ive tried just about every option that I've found on here but no luck yet. One question though, my ISP says that are not restricting P2P at all but even if they were, this would in no way be relevant to Limewire detecting a firewall right? |

| I think it can, there have been cases of people seeing the firewall when their ISP has shaped their connection.. Are you using AERO in Vista ?? Try downloading the Beta version of Limewire 4.13 that has been known to work... It's very good it also does torrents...I use it myself and recommend it...
