Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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.

Default LimeWire 1.6b beta

I have placed the beta versions of LimeWire 1.6b in the LimeWire beta directory at:

http://www.limewire.com/beta/1.6b/

You will find installers for the various operating systems there. The OSX installer is not there yet, but will be by tomorrow.

The changes in this version are relatively minor. The most significant change was a bug fix on the Mac where LimeWire would crash if users tried to share a top-level directory. There was also a bug that would occasionally arise on various platforms with accessing some configuration files on startup.

It would be a tremendous help if anyone who has a spare moment could give the new installers a try and report any problems back on the forum.

Many thanks to all.

Default Limewire 1.6b beta

Thank you very much for posting about these issues.

Do downloads fail at the end of the download, or do they simply never succeed fully? I recommend trying 4 star downloads whenever possible, as this will dramatically increase your success rate.

Could you possibly send me the limewire.props file located in the directory where you expanded LimeWire? My address is afisk@limewire.com. That would be a tremendous help.

Also, what directory did you choose as the directory to save files?

Thanks again.

Default Mac Download Solution

Use a download application with strong download resume (e.g., Interachy), but doesn't work with Internet Explorer.

It may take several resume attempts, but it eventually comes through.

Default Mac 1.6b Beta - Still Minus 2 Options

The latest Mac Beta version (1.6b released 7/17) is still missing the last two "Options" tabs (Filters, Advanced) on one of my machines (iMac 233), but they are still present on my other machine (PowerBase with G3 accelerator). On the latter machine everything works perfectly and completely, and this strange situation has been the case for all betas since version 1.4b, including released 1.6.

However with 1.6b, Limewire on the iMac now preserves changes to the other options involving typing in a value--that is, the cancel, apply, and OK buttons now work, whereas before they would just turn dark colored with a click and nothing else happened. With the exception of the two missing Options tabs, Limewire works fine on iMac.

Both machines run OS 8.6 with _all_ latest Apple software updates, and they are connected to a LinkSys Cable Router with latest firmware. I use the most minimal extension set (that is, to get online) for both machines, using latest version of Conflict Catcher. Limewire folders on each machine have an identical installation of files and file sizes.

I always install with no extensions loaded (shift-key down). I always give application at least 40mb memory.

Thanks to badger for posting regarding the options tabs.

In LimeWire 1.6, we added some logic where we reduce the size o(particularly the height) of the options window if we detect that your screen size/resolution will not allow us to display the entire window. If we sized the window normally in these cases, the OK, Cancel, and Apply buttons would often be pushed completely off the screen, making it impossible to change your settings.

To solve this problem, we had to remove the two tabs with the largest y value (the tallest ones), which were the "Filters" and the "Advanced" tabs. These tabs were likely two of the less frequently used tabs, so we chose to go ahead with this change.

In LimeWire 1.6, there was a bug were applying changes on this reduced-size tab would cause an error. That is now fixed in LimeWire 1.6b.

In future version, we will likely move to a more extensible solution for the tab user interface so that you can have all of the options in a way that is not dependent on screen real estate.

Default Mac 1.6b Missing Options Final?

Without being critical of the devoted developers of such excellent software, I can only say that I _really_ hope you reconsider and find a way to make all options readily available in future releases. Those options are extremely useful, and for those of us on a network or behind a firewall, they can be critical.

In summary, would you agree with this as a (hopefully) temporary workaround?:

If you have a screen resolution of 800x600 or less,
Temporarily increase your screen resolution (via Monitors control panel) so options for 'Filters' and 'Advanced' will "appear",
Set desired options for 'Filters' and 'Advanced',
Quit Limewire,
Reset screen resolution,
Restart Limewire.

The option settings should hold until the next time you want to change them. Note, that the missing two options appear at screen resolutions of 832x624 or greater, right?

We will be making the options window independent of screen size in a future release, switching to a tree structure similar to that in Netscape.

For the time being, however, the solution that you mentioned will not work -- the sizing is determined dynamically at runtime and is not persistent between LimeWire sessions.

There is another option, however, although I would advise proceding with some caution.

The Options window changes the settings in the "limewire.props" file located in your installation directory. You can edit this file directly if you wish. The keys for the Advanced and Filters tabs are:

FORCE_IP_ADDRESS,
BANNED_WORDS,
FILTER_HTML
FORCED_IP_ADDRESS_STRING,
BLACK_LISTED_IP_ADDRESSES,
FREELOADER_FILES,
FILTER_ADULT,
FILTER_GREEDY_QUERIES,
FORCED_PORT,
FILTER_VBS,
FORCED_IP_ADDRESS,
FREELOADER_ALLOWED,
FILTER_DUPLICATES,
CONNECT_OK_STRING,
CONNECT_STRING,
FILTER_HIGHBIT_QUERIES


I may have missed some, but I don't think so. I can't go into the details of each one, but hopefully you can figure it out by looking at the file. LimeWire reads in these settings when it starts up.

One option would be to copy your limewire.props file from your other computer, or at least copying the settings you want.

I hope this helps.

Post Listening Port

I've seen this issue come up with a few people with the recent version of Limewire. For me, Limewire won't connect. When I start Limewire, it tells me that it can't find a port for incomming connections, and when I try to change the port it says that all ports are unavailable, even the default 6346. I didn't have this problem with previous versions of Limewire (specifically 14b), and now, after I installed the recent version of limewire, bearshare and other gnutella programs can't connect for the same reason (port 6346 unavailable). Any ideas or help?
