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.

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.

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.

 invisible, nonexistent firewall I just experienced this problem as of today. I used to get fast downloads... (for me at least) at arround 100 kb a second. I also was sick of Microsoft's lousy firewall and service pack so I went to their sight and got the instructions on how to remove all that. It all worked well. So up to now I have installed NO firewall on my computer yet. Also the dowload bar for Limewire always shows turbo download speed. Now, all of a sudden, I closed down the comp today to simply reboot and when I start Limewire that was working great 5 min before it now indicates that my download speed is at connection speed and Limewire indicates it is working behind a firewall... my downloads are now 1 kb a second  What in the world went wrong??!!  Could someone please help me soon, it would really help, thank you.  |

 What do you mean it shows at connection speed do you mean the bars are green. You ay want to delete your preference folder follow the instructions in the thread below for that. Do you use a router. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36420

| Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire Post back if it makes no difference. For such a quick change it tends to be the prefs. But it could also be your isp or connection device playing up. uh Grandpa beat me to the answer! lol  Very good timing! lol  |

| Both thumbs up, and thank you first of all for a simple and explicit help. I am tired of forums that expect three words to answer a question... Now for the sad part  I have Jre, (the latest version) so that is not an issue. I followed what you said but I was so frustrated I deleted all of limewire and reinstalled it entirely... it still does not work... actually it is working less and less. Yes I am on a router... DSL Cable and Wireless 3000 series. Sometimes limewire shows a firewall and an hour later it shows no firewall. I listen to winamp radio and there is no problem with a fast conection, I have tried doing and internet speed check and it sais I have a very good connection speed. So anymore help would be a great help, thank you |

| Well, Thank you for the sight but I have been to it before. I did find out a few things though about if a router is not set up correctly it can establish itself as a firewall. I found that info at this sight for anyone interested. http://wiki.shareaza.com/static/FAQ.FirewallsRouters My problem is still not solved though and I am working on it, so anymore suggestions will help. thank you |

| I noticed above you said you deleted all of limewire. One question and don't take offense it just isn't in your post. Did you follow the instructions in the link about deleting your preference folder or did you just delete LimeWire. The reason I ask this is because if you didn't follow the instructions on deleting the preference folder all of your settings will remain the same. Thus you are just reinstalling exactly the same as before. When you uninstall LimeWire your preference folder remains so that when you reinstall it you do not have to configure it again.

| No offence taken, thank you for your patience with me. I knew how limewire doesn't do an entire delete, so I manually deleted everything. Finally, I thought of going back to a restore point before I even had limewire and... here I am again. All I can think of doing is mentioning a few things I have seen and maybe it will let you know better what is going on. My DSL connection is supposed to be 1.25 Mbs. This is also what the service people told me. I tried using Bittornado, it showed I had a fluctuating speed of about 175 kbps (bytes, not bits) and yet it has taken over 6 hours of it it to donload 300 Mb file. (By the way, I know all these files take up banwith so I tried running them seperately) I tried getflash, and that seems to be running fine although for no reason is seemed to slow way down. I thought maybe it had to do with the router so I unplugged the other comp attatched to the router just in case there was an IP conflict. That did not change anything either. I am at a total loss. I have spent almost all my available time for the past three days trying to solve this problem. Got anymore ideas? Thanks again |
