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. |

 To LimeWire developer!Suggestions! Hello! So what could be missing in the already great LW application?hmmm....? Here are some features that I would like to see in a future revision: -Upload chat capabilitys- the ability to engage and enable a chat with someone that are currently uploading a file from me. -Automatic re search and download capabilitys- If I really want a file badly but it is very rare and hard to find I would like that LW had the capability to search and download it for me automatically.Such a function could ofcourse increase the net congestion and clog the network so therefore it could be limited to perform searches about once every 5 minutes or so.Example: I am searching for a rare mp3 file and I could not find it and also do not have the time to keep searching for it right now so I would like to have the ability to configure LW to continue searching using the same search phrase over and over again about once every 5 minutes automatically and once it find a file with a file name that matches my query/search phrase exactly it should automatically attempt to download the file until it gets it.This would really be a great feature. -Host counter- In eralier versions of LW you could see the number of hosts that you where connected to next to the connect/disconnect button I would like to have this function back since it helps me see if I have a good connection or not. Buddy list- The ability for true friends to share files directly with each other kind of like a ICQ feature.This means that If I have a person in my buddy list and he for example has made a great image for me that he wants to send to me but not trough e-mail.He could put it up on Gnutella for me to download and that person/IP should have higher priority then others so that I would have higher chance of downloading it and also get a better download speed.I do not know if such a function is possible to make but maybe it is. Hope That You Liked my Suggestions!

 Re-Search (Requery) is already implemented as default for all files you try to download. Unfortunately, it only issues a new search once every 45 minutes (One search every 45 mins - not one search per file every 45 mins). Yes - this is to avoid congestion. But - given time, LimeWire will keep looking for new hosts for the files in your download list. I'd suggest that for person to person file transfer you would be better off with a dedicated program rather than try to stretch LimeWire/gnutella to be anything other than a p2p network. FTP servers and clients are widely available and I believe that many of the ICQ/netmeeting style of programs support file transfer. Mark |

| Hej, Joakim......... For what I believe you are referring to with "person to person" file transfers, it is very simple to do now with both BearShare and Gnucleus. It is called Direct Connecting. I am sorry, but I am not familiar enough with LimeWire, after version 1.8, to make any comments..... Although, I am sure it was possible in the older versions of LW. Direct Connecting is very simple. If you wish more info, send me a PM. I have not yet discussed with anyone here as to whether or not they would like to see a thread on the subject of Direct Connecting. Now we can wait to see who comes in here with a reply declaring that Direct Connecting is harmful to the Network.  There are usually a few who do not understand and have real emotional problems about Direct Connects!

| I'm using the latest Gnucleus version and I've never heard about Direct Connecting. Is it currently CVS only? I would like a thread about this, it sounds interesting though i don't have any clue what it could be ;-) |

I think that you have missinterpreted my request for a re-search function.I already know about the Requery sent function.What I meant was kind of a intervall search function which would work like this: Example: You do a search with following term: Britney Spears-Stronger And you get a lot of results in the search but not that exact song was found.But I am in a hurry and do not have time right now to do another search so I would like to configure LW to do the search and download for me automatically.The function could work something like this.I click Control(Or Command on a Mac) and then the mouse button somewhere in the search area field or on the search tab and a contextual menu would appear(this function already exists in LW) but I would like to have a new field and function to this menu and that is something called Intervall search when I select that option I would like LW to perform the exact same search for me once every 5 minutes and if it found a result that matched my query letter by letter then It would automatically attempt a download of that file for me so the next time I show up in front of my computer I would have already gotten that file and can listen to it.This was just an example but that is the function I wanted. As far as Direct connections is concerned I would not mind if that was possible over Gnutella.I personally hate ICQ and would never use it.LW developers should continue to expand it's capacity so that we do not have to use not so practical FTP servers or messenger programs.

| For general information Just for a quick note now, it is very simple to do Direct Connections in both Gnucleus and BearShare. All you need is the other person(s)' address. A few other details apply, but it is very simple. Using IM during at least the start of a Direct connect is almost essential unless you can work to a very exact schedule. I will discuss with others here about starting a thread on doing Direct connects. Not sure where it should go.  But certainly not here. I would be interested in any comments from LimeWire users about the possibilities now of doing Direct connects and any experience they may have.
