Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

 LimeWire Pro stopped working on Mac Since my last Mac update my LimeWire Pro program keeps shutting down after starting up. It initially gets a good connection then when I try to do a search or ue any part of the program it shuts off. I allowed sharing on port 6346 and enabled UDP communication on my firewall but the program still doesn't work. What's the fix?  |

 Might have been better to post in the mac section. Try deleting your LW prefs folder whilst LW is closed. It doesn't sound like a connection problem from the brief details you have supplied. Also, do a safe boot & repair permissions. Could also try Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue! (click on blue link) Also after deleting LW prefs folder, open LW & go to the preferences settings & under Advanced > Performance, disable all options on that page. BTW if you upgraded from basic to Pro, it's usually recommended to delete your LW prefs folder, otherwise Pro sometimes behaves oddly. |

I have NO clue anymore what the heck I am doing and back when I was using ARES I could download full length movies and a few hour's and with this my speed is ......LOL...0 kb/s .....WHAT THE HECK!......I am at my wits end here...and about to toss the intire thing in the garbage......This sucks...I would wrather be intertained by twidling my thumbs then be this confused at something that seems like it should be......."Simple" .....UUGGHAAAA!  And right now I am only trying to download ONE file...

| I used to have the same problem until my Windows XP shut down (-the warning on a blue page-) practically everyday. I decided to restore things as when I bought my computer. It was bought with Norton antivirus pre-installed in it. Because I don't use Norton I got rid of it completely and installed another antivirus software. I disabled Windows firewall and use my antivirus firewall. LW is among the programs my antivirus allows and everything is working fine. So make sure there's no antivirus software that had been running in your computer, that you thought you got rid of completely but which is still running in the background. Also if you use a router make sure that it's not blocking LW. |

| The Later versions are nothing but Trouble. I will suggest, you use an older version that has proved to be the most stable versions ever. 4.12.6. or 4.12.3 OldVersion - Newer isn't always better ! Or try Phex. In my Sig
