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. 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. |

| Look man, an average song is about 4Megs, right? An average full movie is around 700 Megs, 'k? Well then, if it takes you 4 minutes to download a 4 Megs song, then it should take you around 700 minutes (roughly around 11 hours). If you don't know what connection you have, then I'm supposing that you are not on a PC that is yours (i.e company or maybe university). That could also mean that you're on a rather fast connection, but I can't really say.

| Hey, no, don't get me wrong. I'm not upset or anything. See, there:  Anyway, I don't use LW to dld movies very often, but if I try to download one of around 600Megs, with my current configuration and under the condition that I am downloading it from many users with a high-speed connection (in short, if I dld it in max speed), I would, theoretically, be able to get the file after, uh, an hour and a half. That is only in theory of course it is virtually impossible to maintain top speed for the entire duration and besides, for some reason, I have yet to reach top speed for very very large files (meaning for files of size superior to 100Megs). FYI, my top speed is 128KB (notice the capital B), which I can reach relatively often for smaller files such as songs and small videos. Also, when I started LW, I could only get speeds of around 5 to 15 KBps, which meant dlding songs took around 15 minutes or less (or more). Now dlding songs takes sometimes less than a minute and I'm not even paying for the fastest connection in France. Anyway, all I want to say is, try configuring LW using the pointers in this post: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=26906 I'm hoping this will help. If it doesn't then you may want to consider some other things like ISP interference and stuff, but let's leave it at that for now.

| Sure, ok, but since you don't know your speeds (isn't there a way to get them, like call the ISP or something since your on your home computer?) it may be useless to try to compare your settings to mine. -My upload bandwidth is 30KBps so I've set that to 25K. -I've set the max simultaneous dlds to 32 since that number works for me best it seems. -Upload slots are also 14 -France is ok: it's starting to get mighty hot here and the're no sea or anything near Paris like there was in Greece (I'm greek). *sigh*. Oh well, a pool will have to do I guess...
