If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

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.

I just got the update, 4.9.17, and I can confirm that this problem is NOT fixed. It still hangs and freezes in the same circumstances if you don't use the library tab to resume an incomplete at the start of a session.

What kind of computer do you have (i.e. CPU, RAM, etc...) Also, how many files do you usually share and how many do you usually download at once? Thanks.

Hmmm, well that's disappointing but good to know.

Please include your operating system and Java version when you respond to zab's request.

XP SP2, latest Sun Java, sharing about 800 files, and since I have broadband I've increased downloads-at-a-time from 5 to 30.

OK. I'm sick of this.

Pick ten files and hit Download. A little while later...

file01.xyz 53% Awaiting Sources
file02.xyz 74% Awaiting Sources
file03.xyz 13% Awaiting Sources
file04.xyz 24% Awaiting Sources
file05.xyz 17% Awaiting Sources
file06.xyz 91% Awaiting Sources
file07.xyz 56% Awaiting Sources
file08.xyz 63% Awaiting Sources
file09.xyz 22% Awaiting Sources
file10.xyz 11% Awaiting Sources

I think it's high time something was done to stop it getting a bit of one file, then a bit of another, etc. and then giving up on them all instead of just downloading the blasted things. And these weren't even huge files with only one source or anything -- they were small files.

Canceling them all and hitting them all again from the search list gets maybe two of them to actually complete, and some more to get some more progress, and so on.

It would be better for the network if people could just start the client, pick files to download, bugger off, and in a while the files are all downloaded. Instead it requires constant nursemaiding, additional manual searching (wastes time and bandwidth), doing things like restarting the client or canceling and restarting lots of downloads that are bad for the network (the latter because Limewire hangs for a good ten minutes after selecting a group of items and hitting Cancel, during which time it presumably is not participating in the network)...

It's been this way for so long it seems almost as if there's been a deliberate conscious decision to make it require constant nursemaiding if it is to download files! But that, of course, makes no sense...

I notice it doesn't require any particular nursemaiding to keep uploading files successfully. Only downloading. I wonder why?

That actually used to be there, but it disappeared around version 4.0. Anyone know why?

If a chat window receives a message from the remote host while it lacks focus, it should play an alert sound.
