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.

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. |

 Reward networks with fast uploads with even faster downloads. Config the system for an optimum speed on installation, and if you change it then you pay the price in loss of speed, conversely if you want to donate more then you will get more. I think there are quite a few selfish/ingnorant users who have T1 lines yet limit others to some mini percent of their bandwidth. For this community to work it has to give and get. This would benefit even the lowly modem users to whom I owe a lot for the variety and rarities. In the long term it would pay off dividends for us High Speeders as we would get in and out faster and not clog the network with unneccesary traffic.  |

| I concur  I have LW connection Speed T-1, I have both d/l & u/l set to unlimited. I'm also connected as UP and have let me go look 32 P & 30 L. I also leave LW running all the time to help the network, exception is when I do routine maint. ie. Defraging hard drive etc. |

| I agree, there are a lot of ignorant people out there with broadband connections. They don't know how to set LW up, so tons of bandwidth is wasted. I think that this is rarely intentional though. Unfortunately, there is no good way to change this. Once I get my wireless internet connection up, I plan to leave LW running . Usually I become an Ultrapeer and connect to about 25 peers, and a leaf or two. So now I can finally give back after all my years of dial-up. Good luck. deepblue

| I am brand new this week to downloading video and file sharing. It took me two days after downloading LW to discover this forum, which taught me how to configure LW to everyone's benefit. If a big highlighted reference to configuring on the home page and the forums were highlighted on the support page newbies might be more apt to find it. Yes, I know most are too lazy to look and read but it might help some. I know this post would be suited to the New Requests forum but the seemed appropriate here. |

| rsbabyone--nice idea, but LW keeps trying to do what steppinRazor suggested. As you can see, one month's "optimal" config becomes quickly outdated. LW is configured to give the best out of the box, and the boxes keep changing. So, the advice quickly gets outdated. The connection problems are a good example. LW now can configure around the new firewalls and routers without the user having to try and figure out IP, ports, routers, LAN's and all those other headaches that drive networking engineers crazy  Thus, when one of the few of the million users has a problem, the forums respond as best they can. btw Rabion, my ISP starts throttling bandwidth at ~60GB/month, so check with yours. Running as an UP uses about 1GB/day, so I usually reduce shares to rare content, let LW run all weekends and don't download much at all. This gives gnutella ~ 30GB/month of my bandwidth, still leaves lots for the rest of the family and doesn't hurt the neighbours who share the cable WAN Gotta keep the whole community happy, right  |

| One simple way to implement this is to have LW ping a known server at startup, it sets the throttle based on a formula BW/time e.g FAST MED SLOW, eliminating the user input modem/Cable/T1. Everyone wants fast downloads default it to 100% likewise the uploads, then if the user decides to limit the uploads speed, the download speed gets reduced in tandem, in other word everyone donates an equal percentage of their ****** based on BW. I think it is unfair to the slowdown the up-loaders while you can whiz around downloading. The advantage to FAST MED SlOW is knowing accurately when you are pulling from a SLOW network and not one that has been mislabeled as FAST.FAST MED SLOW |
