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.

Default corupted files???

Why so many corrupted files and why always at the bitter end of the DL? Is this a new protection scheme?

They must be political files. Files can already be corrupted at the source (& there's many of them out there) & there's not much u can do about them except try dwnlding from different sources or options in your search results.

Sometimes files can become corrupted during the dwnlding stage. This means there's data missing or similar. This may result from dropped connection along the way, data clashing, etc. At the end of the dwnlding process, LW attempts to redwnld those bits & bytes that are incorrect or missing. If LW didn't have this process, you'd just end up with even moe corrupted files w/o you knowing about it until you attempted to utilise them.

Default reply to LOR

Thanks for the info LOR. The problems I'm having most trouble with are new hit MP3's, hence my quirey regarding copy protection. Also I just added SP2 which I'm thinking seriously of removing.

Always suspicious

Yeah some people have definitely been having probs with SP2. There is a quickpatch for it but this patch may not necessarily fix your prob. There's bound to be several more patches out for sp2 (do a search on the forum for sp2 & you'll find a link to the patch - I posted it yesterday.)

Yes you could be right about the mp3's. If MS has anything to do with them then they may well be copyright protected. From what I've heard (& I might be wrong) that at least some of those mp3 sources's you purchase over the net are copyright protected. I don't know how that works.

But then, there may also be bad sources out thre that are offering corrupted files on purpose/not. If you know the source you could block them.

Default Still suspicious

It's definately the new ones and I tried as many as 6 sources, some with slightly different file sizes or bit rates. Only thing I can't figure is why the sources keep their coppies on line. Do you suppose M$ are flooding the servers with with **** coppies to discourage us? This is all since SP2 as well. When I shift back to SP1 I'll let ya know how the war go!

Regards,

Renoman

Default Tried on winmx

Tried on winmx and had no trouble. I tried 10 different bit rates on limewire on 4 separate days and no luck. Something's odd.
