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.

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. |

 Well, if you've been using LW for years then you'll know that many games are infected, or won't work at all because they'll need a code or CD to run  WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of You're better off just buying the game  Download a file from here (any one will do) & see what speed you get. + MagnetMix.com +: The Source for Good Content Please give us your details.

| If magnetmix files download very slowly, it can sometimes point to an ISP shaping bandwidth. I can't find any info about ppc...what does that stand for? Check out this thread for tips about configuring LW. A few things to consider while configuring Limewire for optimal performance... Try changing ports, see if that makes any difference. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 64049 (or try others in the range of 49152 - 65535) > Apply > ok. If you're determined to download games, always check the file with Bitzi before download. If other users have rated the file, you'll get some idea of it's content & quality. Might save you a few wasted downloads  How to use Bitzi Remember to always scan downloaded files with your AV before opening them. |

| Grandpa has written a good guide for dialup users...check it out here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/175733-post5.html Don't worry about the port numbers thing, sometimes changing port numbers can help if an ISP is throttling p2p bandwidth. You don't have to change ports to that range...it's just a suggestion to help those people whose ISPs are limiting their downloads & since I didn't have any info about your ISP, I suggested it. No drama. You'll probably find that you can allow some uploads...that 'configuring LW for optimal performance' thread will give you tips about upload bandwidth  It's p2p after all, so sharing's the name of the game if at all possible (even if you only have a couple of upload slots open)! People will often download from a modem source, even if it's slow, because they really want the file you're sharing & know that modem sources are more trustworthy than some other sources! |

| k i understand alot that grandpa was saying about the bandwiths but he said something about setting upload to 0-1.75 and it actually wont even alow me to go lower than 1.75. and even setting it to that it might cause problems and should be lower.. speed test gave me a 5.9kb/s download and 46.3 kb/s upload lol is that normal... and should i try the port thing you sugested? or were you telling me not to worry about doing it.. i'm figuring alot of this out but still not making progress... but still thanks on the schooling birdie its appriciated...
