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. |

 Connections to other users Question: Why is it that I am only connected to a limited amount of people using Limewire? I know there is more than just a couple of hundred hosts out there. Why is there a restriction of how many people I can connect to? I think it would be more usefull for people to connect to everbody instead of just the people that are using it in their area. Also(I'm on a soap box here), why can't I download something from just one person. Don't get me wrong, Limewire is a good program, but I think it would me more versitile if you could download from one connection or multiple connections. That way you could get ride of the problem of having a bunch of downloads that say "Awating sources". Most people now have some sort of high speed connection and can afford the upload bandwidth. Just my 2 cents.  |

 1. Gnutella works the way that you ask one of those connections and it passes the question on. You are connected to far more than you see. The maximum number of hosts you reach is for a good part limited by the problem that when everyone in the network asks one question per hour and that question reaches everyone (lets assume it reaches a million people), everyone has to cope with a number of questions per hour equal to the number of people in th network. one million questions per hour is about 300 questions every second, and I assume you do want your bandwidth for other things than just being connected to the network. 2. LimeWire can download from just one source, but chances are someone already does or the source has simply gone offline again. Busy means: Too many other people already download from me. Need more sources means: The host has likely gone offline again. Queued means: There are othe rpeople in line before you, but you'll get the file. You can get more information about the network LimeWire uses here: http://gnufu.net - Gnutella For Users

| That clears things up a little, it is a little misleading when I look at the number of hosts/files that are out there. I could have sworn that on the free version that it was showing alot more hosts and files for me to see. I remember at one point it said on the title bar that there was 3M files and terabytes for the size, how did that happen. Any ideas. |

| How long did you let it run? Every LimeWire gathers its own statistics of the network, and it naturally only shows, what it found at any time. When you search, your LimeWire will return approximately 300 results, and most times not more, so when you search for a very popular term, you'll find only a small percentage of the millions of files in the network. When you search for a rare file instead you'll reach a far greater percentage of the network and have a good chance at finding your document.

| I just had it on for 5 days, so I can safely assume my host-catcher should be optimized. By letting it run longer, you help the network as a whole, and when others do the same, you also get a far better filesharing experience by that.

| . . . and the title bar only displays an approximation of the netsize (see the tools->statistics->network for more info) when running as an Ultrapeer, not when in leaf mode. (btw arne--how were the memory stats after 5 days? Did the gui seem sluggish?) |

| Not quite: I use Acquisition for longterm-usage. It is far less memory intensive (I assume it doesn't load the shared-files into the GUI). The System was as fast as ever.
