Forum Rules

Support Forums

Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

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.

OK get your Dad to try these fixes...
Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your limewire preference folder...

Me talk DOS, too !

In fact, me talk Q-DOS !

I know what I am talking about here... Sure, you may be able to get LW running OK via Vista... So what ?

Vista is garbage.

MY first comp (purchased) was a DIGITAL PDP-8 in 1971... That was interesting... This latest stuff is just study, buy, paste and glue...
(Then people come here or elsewhere and complain about what crap a particular Gnutella Client is cuz they've deleted all of their downloads and shared files...
"Copy" - "Move" - "Undo..." Wot's dat ?)

If your dad talkee the DOS, than he must be able to see how trully invasive and negative Vista actually is...

The above is not me gassing on with some ego-trip... Not of any importance to me... I do the Mod stuff here ONLY to make the Gnutella Network better for me ! Selfish, hmmm ?

So, maybe you get LW up and running... Next ?
What favourite progs of your father WILL NOT RUN on Vista, hmmm ?

My reply was only to try to assist you, LONG-TERM !

And, of course you need an OS !

Sugestions, if you want real stability... Windows 2000 Pro SP4 or XP Pro and/or Linux UBUNTU with proper Java installs and regular updates.

Short of that, you is in the jungle.
Vista is a Spanish word for 'view'... In that same idiomatic vane, Vista is 'oscura' !

Another word, en español, is ------ ¡ MIERDA !

Well Limewire is the only program that hasnt work o Vista....and i'm still standing by what i said, it is an excellent OS, now maybe i think this jsut because i dont know a hell of alot about computers in comparison to u guys, BUt here the thing Vista lts me do everthing i wan(cept LM) easily and quickly and i dont have to know that much about computers, so really which is better an OS were u have to know about the inner workings of the computer exactly or an OS that just works for you? know i guess I'm being to conformist and going with the big company but whatever you say the only advantage of using an outdated OS is so you can brag about having it and i really dont want to brag!

Now i really have screwed up my chances of getting help now havent i!

Not at all....No-one has the right to tell you what OS to run and just because someone doesn't like Vista there are many others that do..It's a known fact that Vista and Limewire will work together (with a little fine tunning)

So now we have all of that bullsh*t out of the way we will go back to trying to get you up and running....

Now will you please supply the details about your set up that I asked you to provide earlier...

Limewire Beta 4.13.6 was a bit buggy, so that may be your problem...
Try installing the new 4.13.8 it has just been released....

I have Pm'd Grandpa he is our Vista Guru here on the forums (he runs and knows Vista well), if installing the new Beta doesn't do the trick wait for him to reply...
