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.

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. |

 Which speed of song should I download? I looked for my question in other threads but didn't find it. I apologize if it's already been asked and answered. I just downloaded and transfered a song to my mp3 player. Since I have dial-up, I downloaded the one that had 'modem' under the speed list. Should I do that with all my songs or does it matter if it says modem or not? Thanks so much in advance.   |

| Instead of looking at speed, I would look at 1. # of sources 2. bitrate (the higher the bitrate, the better the quality, generally) Good Luck  |

| Just to clarify... ...the Speed column indicates what connection the source you are downloading from has, rather than your connection. All types of connection are compatible with each other. How fast you can actually download depends on a number of variables, but broadly speaking a download from a modem source will be slower than one from cable/DSL. This is where the number of sources becomes important: if a file has (for example) ten sources, then LW will download one tenth from each source. In theory this means that the download is ten times quicker. So you can see that the number of sources is usually more important than the host's connection speed: a modem connection with several sources could be faster than cable/DSL with fewer. Additionally, downloading a file from more than one source gives you a greater chance of success: if one source drops out you will continue to receive the file from the remaining sources (but more slowly). One final note of caution: spam will be hosted by many sources (say fifty or sixty) whereas a genuine file is not normally to be found being hosted by more than ten or twenty sources at any one time.

| Download Speed Christi the speed does not mater, as was said you will down load at what ever your machine is capable of. If you are on a modem download 1! item at a time other wise you'r bandwidth, speed, will be cut accordingly to how many you are trying to download from. This is a hard lesson to learn, and most people do not understand, If you are on a modem, or hi speed, you can only download at the rate of your equipment. If you are one a modem you should be able to download at approx 5.6KBs if you try to download 2 divide the rate by 2, at 3 divbide by 3, ect. Same goes for hi speed. YOU CANNNOT DOWNLOAD ANY FASTER THAN YOUR EQUIPMENT, no matter how many you try to download. Also. beware of uploads, they are consuming your bandwidth. |

| I just found this... ...at Limewire.com, so you could consider it the definitive answer: "Q: Why do some things take so long to download? A: The speed at which a download takes place is limited by both the bandwidth of the downloader and by the bandwidth of the uploader. A file cannot by transferred faster than the uploader is capable of sending it, nor can it be transferred faster than the downloader is capable of receiving it. If you have a T1 Internet connection and you are trying to download a file from a person with a 56K modem, your transfer is going to take place rather slowly. Furthermore, some clients limit the speed at which they will upload files for the sake of saving bandwidth." Best regards. |
