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.

You are the first person I have heard say that. You must have some kind of configuration or bad java install problem. Because in the beta testing I have done shows that the 4.9 series almost never goes above 70MB the 4.8 series would frequently go above 100MB. How many MB of memory is LW uesing. And which version of LW? and by the way 30,000kb=30MB

Go to search type in keyword LimeWire but I have a feeling it won't make any difference. There is something wrong that needs to be fixed first or the problem will probably just transfer over to 4.8.1 but you can give it a try.

Actually, when I first joined the forum I asked the samething. Dont know why it sounds like an unusual request on here? Sometimes the new versions stink and you wish to go back to a previous install that worked better. Its called having a choice.

Yes it is called having a choice. But from what I understand the older versions are slowing the newer versions. I do not think that is a literal statement I know that the newer versions work better than the old I have been testing betas since 4.2 I believe. And my DL capabilities have increased by more than 100% on a every day basis. Most of the problems people are having when upgrading are associated with either java install , Firewall, or configuration. If people are willing to take the time and effort to work on them most can be fixed. Allot of the problems are coming from people getting there LimeWire from scam sites.
And I don't know for sure but I have a feeling that allot of the problems may be coming from people DL pro from the P2P net. I know for a fact that there are corrupt versions of pro on the p2p net because before I bought pro I DL pro from the net and guess what it really screwed my LimeWire DL speeds up. And lets face it there are allot of pirates out there that if given the choice will take something for free before paying for it. Any way the way I understand it if everybody would upgrade the net would be faster due to efficiencies.


By the way what version are you using now sphinx

I use basic. The only place Ive ever downloaded Limewire is from the official site. Basic 4.9.11. Im not fond of it though. I miss the kill feature and wish it had a push feature or at least ping thats my only gripe.

I use Bearshare Lite and LW for dling music. not the top 40 either. I had to resort to these apps after the old Napster went bust. Im no stranger to Limewire though. I had used it long before it came with the java stuff they make you install. I remember it when it had banners and all that crap in it and thats why I had stuck with Bearshare Lite for a long time. Im just getting back into LW though.

I agree with you on that cos when you read the download forum I cant helpbut wonder how someof these kids that have no experience in P2P are buying Pro out of the blue. Ive used this app for a long time now. Just recently getting used to the newer interface of LW basic.

you might want to give 4.9.28 a try they seem to have gotten allot of the bugs worked out other than the occasional disconnect running in UPnP mode as a leaf. There is still the problem of if a file goes to needing more sources it will usually sit there until you either hit resume or do a manual search then it will usual find sources and complete.If I remember correctly 4.9.11 was a memory hog 100+MB the most I have seen 4.9.28 use is 78MB right now I am running as a UP with 30 and 15 connected and 5 UL at 40kb not DL anything it is using 72MB no bad compared to earlier versions.
Also for some reason I haven't seen one corrupt music file with this version perhaps the luck of the draw.

I was on it tonight and to my surprise was dling at a normal speed for a change lol. I'll wait a bit before installing the new release. Im not keen on dling something fresh out of the gate.

I just wish we could kill or ping.
