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.

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. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

| Is your LW connected properly (all green/blue connection bars)??? Make sure that Vista's firewall is configured to allow LW. In LW go tools > options > advanced > firewall. Change LW's listening port to 65000 > Apply > ok. TalkTalk have caused problems for a lot of LW users. Use the forum search to look for talktalk & you'll find more threads, too. It's Official - TalkTalk stopping P2P Try using LW at different times of day...check the thread below  See whether that helps your speeds.TalkTalk UK ISP blocking p2p You could also try port forwarding for your router. The instructions are here. Port Forwarding for the Huawei EchoLife-HG520s Make sure that you've set up a static IP address first (those instructions have a link to static IP setup). LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the router should all be the same number. |

| Hi guys, first time posting. Need your help. I've used limewire before but apparently I lost all idea on how to use it again. My problem now is that the firewall is being a problem. How can I fix it? The other downloading programs really are messy and right now I am having a hard time trying to use LimeWire. Can you please let me know how to work this out? THANKS A LOT!!! |

| thanks birdy Not sure but I don't think my router was set for UPnP which I have now selected the options for it to do so I now seem to get an intermittent connection strength and the brick wall also comes and goes. At first, I did seem to get good results from my searches but now again slow and low results. the download speed is very very slow to start but then just seems to kick in for no reason. I really don't think its still right??!! I am not a techy person so not sure about all this port forwarding and permanent IP addresses etc. It all makes me very, very nervous |

| It's up to you whether you want try port forwarding or not...it's not anything that's going to stuff up your computer (the static IP address isn't in any way linked to your normal IP address...it's just set up so that your router can forward the port & recognise your computer). I couldn't find any info about whether your router supported UPnP, so I didn't suggest enabling that  Your random download speeds might just be down to TalkTalk...they have a FUP which will throttle p2p download speeds. Find answers to your questions about TalkTalk in Help & Support And this suggests that they're traffic shaping 24 hours a day now, rather than only during peak times. TalkTalk Members - Traffic Shaping and Bandwidth Capping Did you try changing ports? |

| Solved? We'll see. I clicked on Tools -Options - Download and changed my speed from unlimited to about 10 KB, clicked on Apply and saw my download speed go to 10. Then I increased it to Unlimited (this is using the slide bar) and Apply. The speed returned to its normal of about 170kb. |

| If I were you I would start checking my computer for a virus, Trojan or some form of malware. You committed a cardinal sin, downloading a compressed file, these files usually contain viruses. |
