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.

Even if MS Word was made out of 100% java it still work , Limewire remember recieves way too much traffic...

It could be about the sharing files thing.


Well at the end of the day I am happy with another P2P .

Hmmmm I'm in agreement with Peerless.

I run LW pro 4.8.1 and run as an Ultrapeer with 62 connections, and also have no such issues.

Please try to understand , LW used to work until one day it just would'nt load then I replaced java 4 times and upgraded to LW 4.8.1 and then everyone has issues.

I have a question , When limewire 4.2.6 was avaliable were there more or less errors posted in this forum?

Peerless, fabian: does it work as well with a CPU half as fast, half as much RAM, and the free version of Limewire? Maybe this is something that works better in pro (I guess to try to make people pay up, but it just makes them go to Shareaza instead); or maybe you just don't notice anything because it's only using half your 3GHz CPU.

I reinstalled 4.2.4 to see if the problems with the CPU usage was the same. It's not taking up 99% as 4.8.1, but it's still very slow to respond to any requests such as clicking on the Toolbar, searching....etc...

Not quite sure that it's LW now...starting to believe that it's a java problem.

I have noticed several patterns in this behavior.

1. Limewire cpu use spiking often occurs right after a download is finished. As if the occasion calls for major number crunching, even if the "verifying" and "saving" stages flash by quickly. After a few seconds LW slows to a crawl for a minute or two.
2. Performance on my machine seems to degrade drastically if LW's memory use climbs above about 100M. If it's 80 it's very responsive. If it's 100 it's unbearably slow. I'd suspect thrashing except that the machine has over a gig physical ram FREE, NOT IN USE when this happens! With 2GB in the box performance should degrade much more gracefully, and only when total mem use is a LOT more than just ~6-700M total commit charge. Who designed this piece of ****?
3. What the FU&! is it doing that can saturate a 3GHz dual-core CPU? Nothing an event-driven application ought to be doing, methinks. And at a priority equaling the event-handling for the UI, at that, rather than at a much lower one.

You could try to start Limewire by commandline with the following arguments:

java -Xmx255m -jar LimeWire.jar (in the Limewire directory).

it seems LW runs with the default heap-limit of 64mb (+ ~16mb for java-runtime itself) and of course if LW gets too close to this limit java is Garbage Collecting over and over which affects performance and could even lead to a crash of LW :-(

good luck, lg Clemens

That solved my performance problem, but now magnets start LimeWire w/o the new heap size. Where do I change this default heap-limit for any instance of LimeWire or for any Java application?
