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.

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.

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.

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. |

 Upload speeds and incomplete downloads Can someone please help me? I have configured my upload speed so that it is slower (10.94kbs) but it is uploading way faster than what I have set it as. I have upgraded limewire to its most current version 5.2.13 or something. The older version would upload very slow but this new version allows settings to be changed but it does not comply with what I have set it as. The reason I have made it slow is because in NZ we get charged for upload and downloads and I am on a 20gb plan. I would like to downlaod more than what I upload but with the new limewire version it means I am getting charged 70% upload and 30% download. 50/50 would be nice or more download. Or for the options I set it to to be correct. Also, when I upgraded to the new version I lost an incomplete download which I had been doing for months. I was at 18.96gb of 21gb and then lost it when I upgraded. I am not very clued up with this but I know the basics if any one can help. Thank you!  |

| when you are changing the settings are you choosing apply or somesuch? (I haven't used LW in a while, but in many programs simply hitting OK does not apply the changes)

| Are you sure you chose upload speed to curb bandwidth at? You may have chosen download bandwidth above it by mistake. Torrents: I do not use torrents with LW, however 'if' you are downloading torrents then LW will share them at a particular ratio or attempt to. I've a suspicion your problem is with torrents & not files from the gnutella network. As for the file that appears to have problems, is it a torrent file or a file from gnutella network? Torrents & gnutella network work in a rather different way. |

| I ues pirate bay for the torrent and limewire as the program it uses to download/upload. Some technical terms there for me so I think thats what you meant. When I save the settings it does say save/ok and when I go back in to check, it is on the lowest upload speed but is uploading way faster than what I set it to. Really sucks that my upload is super fass and my download is slow. Upload can be 135kbps and download as low as 10 kbps. Any ideas? |

| yes, with torrents you are expected to give back. Unlike most torrent programs, LW does not keep track of your share ratio. However in settings it auto-shares at a particular rate or attempts to. You can potentially change this but not sure what effect it will have with your downloading as well. Normally with torrents, the more you share back, the better the downloads are. If a torrent has problems with %'s etc. then perhaps re-open the torrent file you downloaded from the site. Well, I'm across the tasman and my isp does not include uploads on my monthly quota at all. It only counts download bandwidth used. So even if I get shaped for going over my quota, my uploads will be non-capped. |

| Lucky for you my friend. It may very well be my ISP but as I am on a package it is the cheapest option. In NZ we get ripped off for alot of things as their are not very many companies offering services competitively as opposed to larger countries. I guess things could be worse so I am grateful for what I have. My uploads at the moment are going well over my download %. With the previous version of limewire this was not the case. If i set it as 1 max upload at a rate of 10.94kbs then thats what it would do but the new version does not do what I set it to. Quite stink really when its an upgrade it is not better (to me) than the previous version...unless I am doing something incorrectly. Thanks anyway for your advice. |

| If you go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> SuperReallyAdvanced -> BitTorrent, & check the option for user manage, you can control upload speeds there for torrents.  This is for LW 5.2.13, but when 5.4 is released this will be implemented as a part of the main upload speed setting which will universally control both gnutella network & torrent speeds. |

| Thanks Lord of the Rings. You are awesome! That seems to have worked. It was as easy as that. I appreciate your help. Now if someone can tell me hot to resume incomplete downloads form my previous version of limewire then I would be a happy dude. It was at 18.96 of 21gb downloaded then when I upgraded to 5.2.13 I lost it. Even when I click on the same torrent, limewire says that I am already downloading it. Someone help? |

| If it was a torrent, try re-opening the original torrent file you downloaded from the site & see if that helps.  If not I"m not sure.How to re-open it? Go to file menu & choose the option. |
