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. |

 Sorry, but you definitely got ripped off. You can commiserate with all the others here.** BEWARE** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites You can download Limewire from the official site here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml Basic is free, Pro costs $18.88US and gets you 6 months free updates and Pro support. It's also advisable to contact your c.c. company and let them know you were scammed, they may be able to help you. And you can try to contact the site you purchased LW from and demand your money back. Also keep an eye on your c.c. statements as they like to tack on charges for other things you didn't sign up for. Good luck  .

| I just got off the phone with customer support....and they told me that I purchased a years membership in their club.....and tech support and the latest computer stuff info and downloads.... I told them I would like a refund......and they were polite and said that they would refund the money to my CC. When the money shows up back on my CC.... I will download LimeWire from the Official Site I was not happy with the 4.8....it was as slow as molasses in january...and was slowing my puter down and causing it to freeze up....also the uninstaller did not work very well.....it left ghosts of Limewire...on my puter!  I hope the updated version is a more solid version without bugs and works smoothly with my pc. When I was running Limewire...and the downloads were just at a slow trickle......this pop up would say "Download new 4.9 Lime wire" its 4 times faster......and I said to myself....anything has got to be faster than this. I was reading on these forums where someone said they liked the musicmatch juke....I DL it and really like it....I think its a pretty old version...but it seems to work really well....got a good sound!

| Some isp's are known to throttle back p2p networks, also if your d/ling from school they often filter or block p2p. If your isp or school is blocking you there isn't much you can do except try talking to them and see what their policies are on it or you can switch to another isp. Then it could be in your settings. You can start by reading this thread here: A few things to consider while configuring Limewire for optimal performance.... It will take some time and effort on your part but that's how I learned .Also d/l speed is affected by other factors such as your connection speed, the speed of the person your d/ling from, how many sources are available, how many other people are trying to d/l the same file ect. You can test your connection speed here: Speed Test

I read everything on the link....then did the speed test... then configgered the puter to the upload speed.....everything else was pretty much set the way it should be.........but setting the upload setting must have done the trick...because its downloading faster....prolly as best as I can expect with dialup!
