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 I decided to try LW out. GOOD! but....

ok, first of all, generally, it's a great FS program! I love how it can filter out bad files... specially in the MP3 section.. i hate those lemon files!!!!!

Ok, with that set aside, here are my rants which i hope you guys have a cure for......


1) Even when disconnected the darn thing contiunes to download and upload.

2) There seems to be no way to pause downloads in limewire?

3) There's no way to MANUALL clear the successfuly downloaded files.. clear inactive also cleared my darn que'd files!!

4) There seems to be no setting for Auto Resume/find sources ever X seconds?

5) Im not sure about this but it seems limewire dwells in the GNU network only.. what about torrents and other networks which is actually supported by shareaza.com

6) When my download is interupted due to disconnection, upon reconnection the darn thing doesnt seem to resume...

I connected last nght with limwire before i went to sleep.. apparently, a few minutes later i got disconnected.. and my pc had to redial.. got a successful connection yes.. limewire i believe reconnected yes.. but the darn downloads didnt resume themselves.. wasted time and internet.

Guys?

1. Not if LW has been quit/closed.

2. LW Beta 4.1.8 has pause on dwnlds & the 4.1.7-8 has pause on both uplds & dwnlds.

3. Depends upon your settings. Tols-Options & Dwnlds.
4. Highly unlikely if ever, b/c p2p apps that flood the network with requeries will inevitably slow down the Gn network And whatever business/school network it passes thru!!!

5. Has been suggested & thought about, but as far as I know it won't happen in the short-term. I also thought this was going to happen sooner but there's tech issues to overcome 1st.
6. Do a manual search for the sources for the item. See: earch & dwnld techniques (some hints)

LW went to sleep. Apparently in the present beta LW has a sleep ability And if running as an Ultrapeer.

Logitech,

On item number 1 do you have Limewire set to "shutdown after transfers"? If so when you close it the program minimizes to the tray but continues to run uploads and downloads. If will not continue to accept incoming requests for new files but will try to complete any uploads or downloads in process when you shutdown.

Go to - TOOLS, OPTIONS, SHUTDOWN and chose the way you want Limewire to shutdown.

Norm

the beta versions (4.1.8 currently) now allows you to use the delete key to clear an entry. Very handy!

I agree, but think about this.. tons of other GNutella apps have this functionality.. kazaa lite is one very popular one.. they all have ability to do this.. can ya catch ma drift?

@Norm
Nope. i dont have that setting.. i do know that even when disconencted it continues to transfer files.. atleast now i nkow it's actually a feature.. one that i dont really fancy.. the more reason to haev the PAUSE function on each item.

thanks all

In general I also don't have enthusiastic thoughts about beta apps but I've found the LW 4 betas to be very good. I made a small error about the pause upld. This is present in the jum build for osx only (not the official beta.) Individual pauses would be very good & I thought about inquiring about it myself.
I never use clear inactive button. And prefered to manually delete the completed files but recently set my prefs for auto-clear. You do know how to manually delete them?

Well as far as other p2p apps doing constant requeries, LW did have this function & removed it for the health of the network. Unfortunately there's other apps that simply don't care. Just b/c somebody has a gun & can shoot people down doesn't mean everybody should also have one & do the same. What type of community would that be. They are "aggressive" apps in more ways than just this. I'll leave the others to fill you in about this. The p2p community is developing, but some apps prefer to remain uncivilised & not very communal for 'sharing'.

I agree.. wish more people would think twice about abusing..
