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. 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. |

| When you pay for Pro (US$18.88 for 6 months of updates & email support) you download the installer that suits your OS. The official site is www.limewire.com There's no bonus software & no members' site. Where did you download from & how much did you pay? It sounds like you've been scammed Warning: Download p2p only from official sites |

| Hey birdy, thanks for answering! I went to http://TheTvMembersArea.com/loginv2.asp this is what it said on my billing info e-mail: Billing information Membership type:1 Year Full & Unlimited Access for a total of 17.88 $ USD Pro Version for a total of 12.95 $ USD NetSpyProtector Option - Protect yourself from malware for a total of 12.88 $ USD Grand total: 43.71 $ USD The charge will appear on your credit card as DOWNLOADINGHOME.COM Scam you think? so what do I do? It's taken me over 24 hours to download 5 x 350MB shows - rediculous!!!! would getting the PRO version help? Hey, and how do I remove the brick wall, that would speed things up, no? |

| See the tips in the link Birdy gave you. Also see get your $$$ BACK!!! (music members). The normal recommendation is to try cancelling through the site 1st if it's within 7 days of your buying it. Next step is cancelling thru your credit card by speaking directly with the fraud & scams dept of your credit card co. I'm not sure if that exact site is mentioned, but you may find their main page listed here Known Scam Sites (click on link) BTW start off with LW Basic (FREE), then if you like it get the Pro version which is US $18.88. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml |

| Ok, thanks will tra to cancel via the site and will stick to LW BASIC for now. What can I do to improve the speed though - this is driving me nuts! The server indicates upstram 124 Kbps downstream 512, but the LW screen is showing 11 Kbs tops, most of the time it's actually between 6 & 8!!! so it's taking forever!!! Plus, I have a brick wall - what can I do about it? Sorry, I know I'm asking a lot, but I'm lost!!!! I REALLY appreciate the help! |

| 512 kbps = kpbs/8 - overhead = real speed in Kilo Bytes per second The downld speed is usually dependent upon your sources. So if you can find more sources for that particular file, with any luck you'll get faster speeds. (Unless your ISP has anti-p2p techniques such as bandwidth shaping when they detect p2p programs being used.) Test your LW speed out with a magnet link from here http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml |

| Ok, you were right - it is a scam- The company figures in the list you sent via the link http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...879#post119879 AND I called my credit card company - the payment is processed and in Europe, you can only contest/oppose in writting - no phone, no mail- and only once you have recived the bill at the end of the month. So there goes... I'm trying to test LW using the magneticmix link The Scene Episode 001 (whatever that is ) and it's loading from 8 hosts at at varying speed of 8 KB/s to 15 KB/s... how's that? |

| Hey, Lord of the Rings, what about : "Unless your ISP has anti-p2p techniques such as bandwidth shaping when they detect p2p programs being used" and what about the firewall? basically, anything to speed things up would be great! |

| That's not too bad but for a 512 kbps connection you should be able to get up around 50 KB/s. May I ask who is your ISP (Internet service provider)? Also, do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Check your LW settings. Go to LW's Prefs -> Speed & tell us what setting you have (modem, dsl, etc.) & is Disable Ultrapeer ticked or not? Also go to Downlds & tell us what speed you have it set at? |

| Ok, no joke, I've just moved to Izmir, Turkey with my husband - so I'm not working at the moment - and neither of us speaks turkish! the provider is - apparently the only local one- ttnet (Turkish Telecom)- is that possible? For the rest, yes there is a brick wall in front of the blue world icon. LW settings as follows: Speed is : DSL/Cable Disable Ultapeeper is ticked. Max downloads allowed are 8. 100% bandwidth devoted to downloads (unlimited). I'm all ears if you can help!!! ;-) |
