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.

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. |

 New Limewire really stinks!!! Nothing but troubles since I installed the new Limewire version for movie downloads. First, the movies have yet to completely download. I have gotten far less results than what I used to get, and then, they stall half way through. In fact, one movie was 93% complete, and I watches the gauge "unload" all the way down to about 33% and then I got a message that said the file could not be downloaded. The only movies I have in my libaray right now are the ones that I downloaded from the old version. I am very unhappy with this. I got a suggestion from Birdy to install a later version of Java (which I did) and this did not do anything. Also, the system freezes almost all the time and I have to shut down. Then when I start up again, the movies that I had been downloading either freeze, or never download. What's a girl to do?????? Any help for this, or should I just go back to the older version of Limewire. I have a sneaky suspicion that they want you to upgrade and that's why there are so many problems. Thing is, why would I upgrade if I can't be sure this program really works. HELP!!!  |

| Did you delete LW's preferences folder & disable performance options, as well as updating Java? If download progress goes backwards then it can mean that there's a corruption in the file. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...wards-why.html Are you checking files with Bitzi before download? How to use Bitzi Have you tried downloading different versions of the file(s) to see whether that makes any difference? If you hate LW 5 then see the link in my reply to your post in April - there's info about how to revert to LW 4  Last edited by birdy; May 16th, 2009 at 09:56 PM. |

| Too nerdy birdy, That's typical nerdy crap. It shouldn't be necessary to have to mess about like that, especially for those who are not technically confident. The fact is, that the new Limewire5 is a load of crap, upgraded for no good reason and is worse than the previous version. The stupid piece of incompetent developer's crap slows my XP system down thanks to it's using about 50% of the resouces. Also, there is no progress bar, and the search results are appalling. And what's all that install stuff about selecting either a non-sharing mode or a non-sharing mode? If there's no sharing, it doesn't work! This crock of crap has made my PC useless and I'll shortly be uninstalling it. Good riddance to incompetent idiots. I don't know why, but no matter who I'm dealing with in the computer industry, I keep coming across stupid decisions made by idiots. |

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...lw-4-18-a.html. I'd recommend LW 4.16 rather than LW 4.18, but up to you.  |

The forum offers support to people who're using LW 4 & LW 5. How would it be if we said "Nope, sorry, I don't like that version so I'm not going to give you any advice about that... tough luck... try another one"? It'd be great, wouldn't it? Get over it. Some people like LW 5, some people hate LW 5. It causes hellish problems for some people & no problems at all for others. Nevertheless - we offer advice if people want to use LW 5. And we offer alternatives if they don't (read my post & you'll see that I had already told varady1 how to revert to an older LW in another thread). Quote:

If you had any intelligence worth writing home about you would know that I was NOT directing my criticism at bird, but at the appalling software revision. I note from his response that he appeared to reserve judgement on that, and did not throw personal insults at me, unlike you, who prefers to follow the typical thick-headed American standpoint of knowing nothing about the world outside of the USA. No, we don't have biucked teeth, that's a feature of American kids, hence the culture of fitting them all with braces; without the braces you would be a nation of bucked teeth again If anyone should receive a censure on here it should be you. If I were from a black or Asian country I could accuse you of throwing racist comments at me; Being from a predominently Anglo-Saxon country I would suggest that you have directed xenophobic insults at me. However, being an adult and, unlike you (who suffers with easily offended, baby-boy sensitivities,) I can take it and will not make a complaint about you. I suggest you grow up. |

| Peerless, you clearly lack any powers of comprehension, but I guess that's the fault of your terrible education system. You failed to either recognise or answer the points that my criticism was not against birdy, but against the developers. But it seems you want to show everyone what a big hard man you are as you sit all day wasting your life away administering a forum. Well if you have nothing better to do with your time, and if that makes you feel big, that's your problem, not mine. |
