Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Default Icon please

Hi all,

I love Limewire, and I have zero complaints about it,
in fact, it's so great that I use it all the time.
Thank you so much for developing this cool program.

That said, It would be nice to have an icon for it.
I'm a Fedora Linux user, so a .PNG file would work for me.
I'm currently borrowing an icon, but it doesn't really fit the program, you know?
This program deserves it's own icon and branding, IMO.
Thanks, and keep up the amazing work.

i'm not sure it's been mentioned yet but seeing as you can now download torrents through limewire wouldn't it make sense to have selective downloading. You know how when you open the torrent in BitTorrent or uTorrent it comes up with a screen that enables you to select which file you want from a torrent. Say if someone has put up a band's discography and you only want one album out of say 5 you just select those files that are in the album and unselect the ones you don't want.

Lightbulb Favorite Host

I don't think it's possible now, and i think it's a useful function:
when you explore a host, you should be able to put it on a list or mark it as favorite. then you can check the host you're interested in when they got something new. You don't need to remember their ip too

You know Windwos, I like your idea, that and being able to save your favourite search (keyword) criteria.

However, if your favourite "Host" changes his IP address, for whatever reason, you would no longer be able to find and/or search your host, but it still is a good idea.

Default A method for filtering fake files

When searching video files (especially newer movies) the search results in massive amounts of auto generated junk files that match existing good files in their size. I keep hoping to find some pattern to the hosts or the 32 character code identifying these files (ya, I don't have a good technical name for the code thingy...bitprint?). Anyway, maybe someone with a better understanding of this system could figure out a clever way to identify these fake file generators and filter them out from results. I'm sure my idea isn't original, and perhaps not even useful; but I just keep thinking that overpeers, mediasentry, and mediadefender must have some recognizable pattern and if their results could be prevented or retaliated against in some way, the utility of limewire would be greatly increased.

i have a little feature request. A filter for movies so you don't have the 277,0 Kb fake results anymore. i sujest a filter for minimum size. If we search for something then you can select files that are greater than 600 Megabytes for movies or so.
