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. |

 Mac Crashes - Here The Problem..!! Part 1 Subject: Problems Getting Connected...!!! Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2005 22:38:58 +0000 From: Robert Johnston <robert@scotsite.co.uk> Organization: scotsite.co.uk To: Adam Fisk <afisk@limepeer.com> Hi Adam, I am on a Mac G3 Running 8.6 with 96K of RAM My internet connection is with NTL Glasgow -> Scotland I think the servers are if RENFREW I have tried the connection test and it came back, what is it... "Tested OK" or something? Anyway, a while ago my Limewire Basic packed up! I have now installed the latest MacClassic Version that's on your site... But I was having similar problems -> Mac Freezing & Crashing. I have went right through the Forum in the Hope of a solution, but I still can't get connected. I Un-Installed the old 2.8.5 version removed " .limewire " (folder) from the HD -> System Folder -> Preferences and threw it in the "Wastebasket" and emptied the "Wastebasket" Did a New/Clean install of LimeWire Rebooted after Clean Install Turned off Norton Anti-Virus Shut down the computer again Restarted the computer & Rebuilt the desktop And I still can't get connected. I was going to try to do the proxy server trick that's on the forum, but I can't get past go. Except once...... When I held down the "ctrl" key and clicked on open -> I did get LimeWire to open up... But I got the WARNING message "LimeWire was unable to set up a port to listen for incoming connections. Some features of LimeWire may not work as expected" And in the (JAVA CONSOLE) window is showing this message:- "LAX Version = 5.0 A nonfatal internal JIT (3.10.106(MRJ)) error 'chgTarg: Conditional' has occurred in : 'org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpClient.executeMethod (Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HostConfiguration;Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpMethod;Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpState  I': Interpreting method.Please e-mail this message along with reproducible sample to jit-bugs-ppc@itools.symantec.com" I hope you know what it means...??? As I am writing this email I am getting a warning that Netscape was unable to create a network socket connection... Blah, Blah Blah, That's New...!!! So now I will have to save this in something, close down Netscape and reboot the computer. Then relaunch netscape and paste this back into an email. Well here goes...!!! I hope you can figure out what is going on here -> because I miss my LimeWire :-(. Maximum respect, Robert - - - - - - - - E N D - - - - - - - - Subject: I Got It Working.... Yeeeeeee Haaaaaa...!!!! Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2005 01:51:42 +0000 From: Robert Johnston <robert@scotsite.co.uk> Organization: scotsite.co.uk To: Adam Fisk <afisk@limepeer.com> Hi Adam, I got LimeWire working again... I Turned Off "Virtual Memory" Restarted and rebuilt the desktop/s Increased the Memory Preferred Size to 6375 K and the Minimum Size to 2125 K Turned Off my computer & Pulled Out the plug Turned Off my cable modem & Pulled Out the plug left it for a while and went and had a cup of tea... Came back and pluged the computer and modem back in Turned Off Extentions -> Held down SHIFT KEY Held down the "ctrl" key and then -> clicked on "Open" to open the Java Console LimeWire stalled again but this time id didn't totally Freeze Up... But I initially got the same ERROR MESSAGE as before!! This time I left it hanging and went and had my dinner. When I came back LIMEWIRE had started up and had connected to the Network I closed the "Do You Want To Upgrade" window. I noticed this time though in the "Java Console" that there was some extra TEXT/CODING so here it is:- LAX Version = 5.0 A nonfatal internal JIT (3.10.106(MRJ)) error 'chgTarg: Conditional' has occurred in : 'org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpClient.executeMethod (Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HostConfiguration;Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpMethod;Lorg/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpState I': Interpreting method.Please e-mail this message along with reproducible sample to jit-bugs-ppc@itools.symantec.com Exception occurred during event dispatching: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUIMediator.showDialogs ForFirstVisibility(GUIMediator.java:342) at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUIMediator.access$000( GUIMediator.java:49) at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUIMediator$1.run(GUIMe diator.java:325) at javax.swing.SystemEventQueueUtilities.processRunna bleEvent(Compiled Code) at javax.swing.SystemEventQueueUtilities$RunnableTarg et.processEvent(Compiled Code) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Compiled Code) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Compiled Code) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThre ad.java) I selected NOT to CONNECT on Launch -> Closed LimeWire Down Went to ReStart/ReLaunch LimeWire -> AND IT WORKED...!!! I even managed to download the files I was looking for VERY QUICKLY!!! So I closed it down again -> Restarted the computer - with Extentions ON - No Conflict. So I closed it down again -> Turned Virtual Memory back on -> Restarted the computer - with Extentions ON - STILL No CONFLICT. I think I've cracked it....!! OH YEEEEEEEEEEEEES. Maximum respect, Robert. - - - - - - - - E N D - - - - - - - - Hi Adam, Got a different problem now...

| BTW this is not the limewire site. This is a forum run by volunteers. I'm not an expert & there are some here who know a lot more than me. But we try to help how we can. My advice is to get more physical RAM! VM is a PITA, an earlier computer I had ran so slow due to VM but I needed the xtra (psuedo) ram. With that little ram, I'd recommend you designate specific times & days to use LW with VM off. Then reactivate it for your other stuff otherwise. (ie: your HDD & bus speeds will be very slow compared to what LW requires ... so VM is not really a wise option unless a very last option. Java for 8.6 is already slow & inefficient enough without slowing things down otherwise such as with VM on a slow system.) Yep allocating more ram to LW certainly won't do it any harm. BTW it's been less than 20 months since I used LW 2 on a G3. But there was 224 MB ram on it. I kept changing allocation of ram to LW depending upon how many incompletes, & shared files. It seemed in my situation that allocating too much ram when it wasn't needed actually seemed to cause issues. BUT I'm refering to a now very defunct version, AND I was using OS 8.5 which had an even more inferior Java version which was the root of all the problems. Make sure your java version is at least MRJ 2.2.5: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75097 If LW 4.0.10 isn't connecting, try deleting the LW preferences folder whilst LW is CLOSED!!! The preferences folder is titled .limewire & if you list your preferences folder by list (prefs folder found in Mac HD>system folder>Prefs folder>.limewire), you should find it at the top of the list. Then just trash it. Try with LW again & see how it goes. Tell us if it doesn't work ok. Remember, it may take LW a while to load up both your incompletes AND your shared files so give it lots & lots of time to connect. Over an hour.
