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.

Default Downloading **, problems?

In the past I've had no problems d/l ing episodes of [edit]but for the past few weeks I have been unable to d/l any at all. Lots appear on searches and when I click on download Limewire gives the usual "connecting" message but then, without fail gives "more sources needed". This happens on every source even though Limewire might say there are 50 feed sources.

I have no problem d/l ing any other files, only [edit] so it's not a firewall or ISP block?

Has anyone else had this issue? If so have you resolved it and how? Otherwise does anyone have any suggestions please?

Thanks.

Pete

Try right clicking on the file you are about to download and select advance and then look file up with Bitzi and see if it's rated there, if it's not it's more than likely a fake, if it is rated you will know it's genuine...

Have you googled the (name of file's site) to see when it lasted aired, sometimes they have a break between episodes...

Hi, thanks for replying.

None of the files I'm trying to d/l are known by Bitpedia, but then none of the one I've d/l'd in the past were either . I've tried re-downloading episodes I've d/l'd before and no joy.

The problem seems specific to [edit], I've test d/l'd all sorts of other files and all are OK, it's just [edit]

Pete

please stop naming the file...

Default Same problem

Curious to know the solution on this query also, as having the exact same issue?? One question though when you try to d/l said file are you able to browse the host? because I am unable to, whereas other files that can be downloaded, allow me to browse the host

No you can't browse those files because they would be fake...
The popular files, like the ones that where metioned above would definatley be rated on Bitzi...

so you cannot be blocked from other users? I naturally assumed that beacuse you cannot browse host on selected d/ls that are continually saying it is connecting.... but not changing to "queued" or "downloading from2 hosts" that this may have something to do with restrictions imposed by the various hosts?.

So you believe the issue relates to the authenticity of the d/l or whether it is fake?

Cheers

What I'm saying is that you have to be connected to the hosts to be able to browse their files and with the fake files you never connect because there are no files...
But...
You cannot always browse hosts that you do connect to as sometimes it's their set up that stops you, for instance if they are behind a firewall or if they do not have the chat feature enabled...

Hi, I hope I'm at the right place, this just started happening, and for some reason only with 1 movie I've been searching for. For some reason, when I look for certain movie (wasn't sure I could name it seeing the previous posts having edited out names), I end up with over 7000 results, and none ever download. Seems like I'm doing something wrong. One other thing, I stopped using LW for a while, and when I came back, it seems like I get ALOT of results involving advertizements or weird clips (for example almost every search I do returns something called CAT VS BABY), and it just seems alot different.
