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 Playing and copying files on networked computers

Recently installed newest version of L/W and am impressed. Only problem is that I can't seem to get files I successfully downloaded on one computer on our home network to play on other networked computers, nor can I copy files from one computer to another. I enabled the compatability option in the sharing function. Files will open in MMJB for example, and the file will be listed, but it won't play. When I try to copy I get a "check to see if file is write-protected" message. Any suggestions?

If Limewire is still open on the computer you use to download. the files are locked cause limewire is sharing them out

of you close limewire to copy the files that should solve your problems

Default Playing files on networked computers

Your posts are as close as I can find to my problem:

I have a directory with many songs downloaded using a prior platform (KLite) on my laptop upstairs.

I have a desktop downstairs that can access these files via a wireless D-Link router. I use WinAmp. All works fine.

I wanted to try LimeWire for better search results.

I installed LW on the laptop. I made the dir where all of the previous files are the "saving" and "sharing" directory.

I have downloaded three songs. They work fine on the laptop using either Winamp or WMP.

Downstairs however, the Limewire files DO NOT WORK. Winamp gives me some flashing garbage, and WMP gives me an error message (i.e. file in use).

The original files appear in the same directory and still work fine so I know it is not Winamp.

I made sure that LW was closed out on the laptop upstairs (per your suggestion this thread): didn't help.

I also tried to copy the file to the downstairs computer and got the same results (garbage, and error message).

The kicker: I emailed the file to myself from the upstairs laptop, opened it downstairs and saved it to my desktop. And it played fine.

Obviously I do not want to have to do this just to listen to a LW file downstairs. I'd also like to keep all of the files in just one place.

Any help as to why just the LW files do not work?
Thanks.

Hi everyone. Ok I discovered LimeWire around...ooh 3 months ago

Im having a party on July 1st and instead of having cd's playing, I want to play music from LimeWire. Heres what I need to know: Ive downloaded a load of music...well, about 25 songs at the moment. Is there somewhere I can save them so its like a CD and then start downloading again? So I can have dance music, slow stuff etc.......

You could make playlists. The LW player isn't the best but if you want to use it
Playlists

Saving playlists

You might want to make something else your default player though & create playlists within that player.

iTunes generally works well with sharing on other computers. And as birdy suggested, you can create playlists to suit your playing needs.
