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. |

 &^%$#@ Pro Version After several very positive comments as to the advantage of the Pro version I made the small investment. How I wish I had just made a donation and not installed the Pro version. When the Pro version was installed NONE of my incompleated downloads were carried over. Grrrrrrrr. I posted looking for help on this but didn't get one reply. Now four times this week when I start LimeWire it "can't restore my downloads". I NEVER had that happen with the "free" version. Comments? oldtrout  |

| I am also having issues with the Pro version. Greatest program I ever saw while free. The $18.88 Pro version, not so great. I will end up dumping the Pro version and going back to Free. |

| You didn't get a reply because this does not normally happen. I do not know how you can get your incomplete downloads to resume. Somebody else might but I doubt it.

| It sounds like you chose a different downld location to the previous version you had on your computer & that's why your incompletes weren't recognised. But I would have thought you'd be using the same preferences so I don't know why this should have happened. LW will refuse to load incompletes for these reasons: 1. Your system crashes whilst LW is open. 2. You jump backward to an earlier version of LW. 3. You don't close LW properly before shutting down the computer. LW can take a minute to close properly. If you have your LW options set to close only after present uplds & downlds have completed, then it won't close down fully. (LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Shutdown) 4. You accidentally erase the download.dat file which is found in the incomplete folder. 5. You have your downld folder (& thus incomplete folder) set for within the LW program folder. And you then install over the top of this folder. Perhaps you should delete your LW preferences. For LW 4.10 you'll need to do this twice since you had a previous version earlier. (a) Delete your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 in Fixes for Limewire (sample at bottom of page.) (b) Similar to above but instead, the 4.10 preferences folder is called limewire. Instructions here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...449#post182449 BTW if you want your old incompletes, then search your computer for the previous downld folder & choose that one when you set LW's options up again. |

| First thanks for the help and suggestions. From: Lord of the Rings It sounds like you chose a different downld location to the previous version you had on your computer & that's why your incompletes weren't recognised. But I would have thought you'd be using the same preferences so I don't know why this should have happened. I did used the same location. 1. Your system crashes whilst LW is open. Didn�t 2. You jump backward to an earlier version of LW. I tried to but the new version opened. 3. You don't close LW properly before shutting down the computer. LW can take a minute to close properly. I am sure it was closed correctly. If you have your LW options set to close only after present uplds & downlds have completed, then it won't close down fully. (LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Shutdown) That feature is not selected. 3. You accidentally erase the download.dat file which is found in the incomplete folder. That incomplete data was zapped when the Pro version was installed. 5. You have your downld folder (& thus incomplete folder) set for within the LW program folder. And you then install over the top of this folder. Hum. For some reason I didn�t install Pro in my C/Program Files but rather in E/mp3/Limewire which is where the download file is. Sounds like this might be my problem. Should I remove Pro and reinstall it in the C drive? (Away from the download file) Perhaps you should delete your LW preferences. I will wait your advice re above first. Only A Hobo Old Trout. Which version exactly of pro are you using (see Limewire or Help > about) 4.10.0 Pro Java 1.50.0_04 Problems? See Limewire FAQ & User Guide, I had forgotten that this was available. Duly noted. Forum Rules & Stickies inc. Major Topics (top of forums). Try Search (above right) Still have Problems? Just ask, once, new thread in a suitable forum I thought that this was the correct forum. Please advise. Thanks again |

| That is a severe error to make to have your downlds going to the program folder. Yes it will have deleted your previous incompletes. Unfortunately there's not much that could be done about it now. At best, you could try using a file recovery program, but you'd also need to recover the download.dat file & not only the incompletes. Without the downld.dat file the incompletes won't be recognised. In future, make sure you do not choose your program folder as your downld folder. Best to have them in totally different directories a reasonable distance apart or better still, a different partition/HDD. |

| If you are using Windows XP you should be able to move your old incomplete files to the new folder by going to your old incomplete folder and highlighting the file then choose move this file. Browse to your new folder and put them there. If you can find them

| It sounds like you might be limited for space, the installation won't take up too much space. So the answer is yes. But if you still have your downlds going to that folder presently, then remove them before uninstalling LW. You don't want to risk making the same mistake.  |

| Lord I am not sure about this but if he installed it on a separate drive E/mp3/Limewire, then if he is running windows I do not think it would have removed the incomplete folder. I just moved mine from C:/ to D:/ the original incomplete folder was still in C;/Documents and settings/User Name. I do not use that folder as my incomplete folder I never have I use my F:/drive for incomplete. But it did not move it and when I moved LW form C:/ to D:/ it kept my same incomplete and saved files when I started it the incomplete resumed. Also the download.dat file are you sure about the name or is it download.bak
