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. |

 CPU usage at 99% and does not drop no matter how long program is run I have attempted every solution suggested in the various threads I found running a search of these forums. Basically I start Limewire and my CPU slows to a crawl. First I will give my system specs and then I will tell you what steps I have taken to fix this problem: CPU: Athlon XP @ 2GHz(actual, not plus rating) Memory: 1 GB PC3200 DDR(CAS 2.5) Storage: 3x40 GB WD drives, 1x160 GB USB2.0 drive Video: nVidia GeForce 6600GT, latest drivers I have done the following to fix the problem: Purged Limewire install x.x.28 Purged Java Run Time Environment 5, build 2 Scanned all spyware and virus problems, none found. Many programs used for this task, all came up clean. Checked for overheating problems. None found. Windows is updated. Downloaded and installed Java Runtime Environment 5, build 4, which is the newest version. Downloaded and installed Limewire x.x.30 CPU usage is still immense, and does not improve after time. If anything, it gets worse. Rebooting the system has no effect. I run nothing but essential services and driver control panels in memory. I have a very streamlined bootup. I have no spyware or virii. I have everything updated. This is frustrating because Limewire is an otherwise fantastic program. Even 25% CPU usage would seem absurd on a system like this. Relatively speaking, Windows Media Player rarely exceeds 5-6% CPU usage on heavy process content(hi-res video), and UT 2004, Morrowind, and other high-CPU load games run smooth as silk. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer me.  |

| I had a similar problem with Bearshare First thing was I had to disable simple file sharing to gain access to a file. I had just formatted and started to download some stuff and would go into my downloads and if I even some much as highlighted this file, my CPU would max out. When I shut down it would say explorer not responding. I reabled simple file sharing and it seems better so far. Not sure about the reboot not doing any good though. |

| go to task manager scroll through all your applications running, it should show a list of objects and all of them should have numbers beside them (XP) these numbers represent the CPU power they are requiring, end-task w/e is taking up 95% or w/e it may be |

| I have done that. I always end up closing Limewire because IT is what is using all that CPU. The only other thing is system idle task but obviously I'm not supposed to close that. I should mention I've been doing computer repair for over a decade! |

| Well it doesn't look like it should be from your sys. specs. You seemed to have plenty of resources. I was going to say scan for spyware but you already did that. You say you updated windows that may be the problem. One more thing I've been using Bearshare for almost 5 years, I recomend you try out Bearshare |

| Mine does same thing My computer does the very same thing...  was beginning to think I was aloneI have very similar system to yours too. Athlon XP x64 3000+ CPU 1Gb RAM 200Gb Seagate HDD nVidia 7800GTX Video card with 78.01 drivers Windows XP Pro + SP2 Latest Limewire Latest Java VM from SUN I see Limewire taking 80 - 99% of CPU, with javaw.exe taking the remainder. I also notice the same with another java program, but I cant remember what it was now. I am a computer technician by profession, and I have taken all the usual steps to work out the fault. It would appear that its caused by the java VM, except that Azureus works on my system, wich is a java Bittorrent client. EDIT: Remembered what the other program was... its the video player at the website http://www.bigad.com.au, which is also java based. Last edited by achard; October 17th, 2005 at 07:02 AM. |
