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.

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. |

 I answered your similar question here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...asier-way.html yesterday. Unfortunately things have changed with upload sites. Things are not as easy as in years past. And the only alternative would be if someone hosted these files. I am not going to be around forever and once I go, the files I've hosted will vanish also due to not logging into those sites every few months. Be nice if there was some kind of assistance and or alternatives. Edit: I did have File_Girl's LPE hosted at MediaFire but it was removed in December because they claimed it failed their DMCA rules and someone had complained in the first place. My appeals over January that it was open-source software and did not fall under DMCA failed. It is arguably true it does not fall under the standard DMCA but it obviously failed for 'other' reasons of pressure the MediaFire site was under which they did not disclose to me. If anybody has installed LimeWire Pirate Edition on Linux or OSX, the installer shows the version as being LimeWire Basic, which is what MetaPirate said in the beginning it was, just modified. But what was said in the media was different, probably to bend a few brain cells with the intention of stepping on certain toes. (Need a headache pill?) I suppose you believe everything you read in the media right.  |

| You must still have Java 7 on your system. Check your Java control panel and I suspect you will find Java 7 is the 'active' Java on the system. To find the Java control panel in Windows 8, go to Search, type in Control Panel and click on Settings and you will see Java listed. If there is a better way let me know.  You can either uninstall Java 7 or use the shortcutfix for using with Java 7. But if you use that fix you should remove it first if you ever wish to uninstall LW. |

| Windows LimeStart For anybody interested, I've created a Windows LimeStart. Details here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...insurance.html. This is an advancement on the LW-Java fix, http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...tml#post368755 LimeStart for Windows has two functions: (1) prevents LW deleting the connection file if not used in 30 or more days. (2) Overrides the LW launch problem with Java 7. If you previously installed the LW5 or LPE Java7 Shortcuts Fix and wish to use LimeStart instead, then you will first need to uninstall them using the Add/Remove Control Panel before installing LimeStart. Also if at any point in time you wish to uninstall LW you will need to remove LimeStart first. Sorry but that's just how Windows is, fussy and shortsighted.  The LimeStart installer will install Shortcuts replacing the original LW shortcuts and link them instead to the LimeStart program. The LimeStart installer is hosted at a few locations but on its own here, and can be found where the forum hosts the other LPE and LW5 versions. All LPE and LW 5 versions hosted via the forum are now packaged with the . LW 5 + LPE - LimeStart + Java Fix setup. Edit 4 June 2013: Probably my last version, I've now set LimeStart to install into its own program folder. It was not necessary for it to be installed into the LW folder. This should also make it easier to uninstall LW and its settings should you wish to at any point. Whilst the LW uninstaller might complain a little, it will probably only be because the original shortcuts were removed. Windows Requirements for LimeStart: Minimum System: Windows 95 Maximum allowable CPU: 320 THz Maximum allowable RAM: 1024 TB Minimum Monitor size: 0.20 inches (0.5 cm) Minimum seat size: Stand instead |

| Very frustrated I discovered a few days ago that I wanted to go back to LPE. I'll save you all the circles I've went around in and just tell you where I'm at now... I have both Java 6 and 7 installed, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions (so LPE is out of reasons to use the java excuse) I have uninstalled my previous installed version via the Revo uninstaller, so I am confident that any remants that would normally be left behind were swept away I downloaded file_girl's package, and I followed the instructions as to the order of installation (the security package, LPE itself, and the Limestart fix) Both with this and what I had before, when I start it up I get an error that says the following... "A problem occurred... LimeWire has encountered an internal error. It is possible for LimeWire to recover and continue running normally. To continue using LimeWire, close this window. If desired, you can click 'Show Bug' to look at the information about the error." OK, so I do that, here's what I get...which doesn't seem to help much Code: LimeWire version 5.6.2

RUN_ON_STARTUP=false Another thing with both file_girl's version and the standard version of LPE...when I go to options and attempt to change my download folder, the program just locks up on me, hard. So hard that I have to shut it down via task manager. I don't know if this is relating to the refuse-to-connect problem, but I thought I'd mention it. As best I can tell, SEP firewall is configured to let limewire traffic through. It allows upnp, and I made a rule to allow limewire.exe though the firewall. I read that other people get on the gnutella network, and I really want to be able to, also. Please help. |

| This problem seems to occur when the 64-bit Java 7 was installed or updated last. If you re-install the 32-bit Javas all should be fine after that. Java will say it's already installed but just click ignore or continue with the java installer. You will connect very quickly when you have fixed the java situation. The reason LW would not connect is it created a new preferences folder called .limewire at the top of your account directory (instead of using the appdata folder) (and its built-in connection file will have been self-deleted). And created a new set of LW download folders also at the same level. As far as changing the download location from the default, unfortunately this is a bug when running under Java 7. But at least when you reinstall the 32-bit java all will go back to normal and the download folders will be the correct location. |

| You can go to your home directory and delete the .limewire folder and the newly created LW download folders. Once you fix java, LW will no longer use those folders. |
