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.

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. |

 Newbie Question - Number of Downloads Does the number of downloads running affect the speed of individual downloads? I have 5 movies on the go at present. I tried to select the downloads on the basis of the largest number of hosts available. Obviously I don't expect these big files to be downloaded in the twinkling of an eye. What happens is that I start up Limewire in the morning (I've got the Pro edition) and one or two downloads go racing away, downloading from a host of hosts at speeds of up to 40 kbs, causing my little heart to go pt-a-pat! Then within a few minutes, it's crawling along at 1 or 2 kbs, causing me to utter the immortal words "Oh, bugger!" Does anyone have any wise words for me? Is it all some cosmic, cuel game of chance? Am I just a pawn in the great game? Many thanks Falstaff  |

| If you've got a super fast connection, you might be able to handle downloading 5 movies at once, at a reasonable speed. You've only got a certain amount of bandwidth & if you devote all of that to one download... nice speeds! Divide that same bandwidth between 5 downloads... oh,no, slower speeds  If it was me, I'd just do one or two at a time. That way, you'll get faster download speeds & (hopefully) get your movies downloaded before half of the hosts go offline & reduce your speed yet again. Just my opinion  Try it & see what you think! |

| Many thanks Birdy. I have broadband - according to Limewire my connection is turbo charged - nice! I have taken your advice and paused all but 2 downloads. At the time of writing one is downloading from 2 host at 2kbs and the other from 2 hosts at 5 kbs. After reading as much as I can about downloading from other posts on this forum ( some really excellent information...creep, crawl...) I checked my Windows Firewall; Limewire is an exception so I don't want to disable the firewall. I will keep fingers, eyes and any other bits crossed. Cheers Falstaff |

| Remember that your download speed also depends on the host. Their connection type, number of uploads they're allowing at once etc. If they have a slow connection, you'll never get a fast download speed from them. Try to pick the downloads that have the most hosts, seem to give you the best speeds & have 4 or 3 star connections. Get them done first. The slow plodders, you can always leave going overnight or search again for the file if it's so slow that it's giving you a pain You might want to read this, it has great advice for configuring LW for best performance http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=27036 |

| zoltex Please don't mention titles of copyrighted material that you're downloading, it's against the forum rules https://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-discussion-topics/announcements.html When you're searching for a file & your results come up, right click on the file > advanced > look up file with Bitzi. Now you can see if Bitzi has a bitprint of the file & if it's been rated. If you want to rate files yourself, just download the Bitcollider & off you go. This way, you can report crap/misnamed files & save other people some pain! Also preview your file during download. Then you have some idea of what you're getting & if it's obviously the wrong file or a bad version... kill the download. Don't burn the thing to DVD until you've made sure it's a good version! |

| wrong file, right title thanks Birdy for the lesson... since i'm stubborn, i downloaded again from other hosts, this time it was a blank file with some half-tone noise. how can some idiots start up with uploading a movie and then change the file name to something that is very well searched for? doesn't it slows down their own connection while ppl. uploading from their. i used Bitzi on a few tiltles on the list: none have data yet maybe my movie is not even online yet, period.  |
