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.

I don't know about BS temp files. Somebody else asked about Kazaa temp files before. I doubt it! All the incomplete file info is stored in a file called download.dat which is found in your incomplete folder. So if these downld prefs don't contain any history of these BS temp files then it's unlikely to utilise them.

Need more sources is when you your files cannot find enough sources (or have lost contact with) to download. Awaiting Sources is roughly the equivalent but is the last stage after having used the Resume/Find Sources button. I do not recommend using the Resume/FS button on many files. It's most effective if you've been downlding the files at an earlier time during that session & already have the search results for them available.

As far as sharing a large no. of files, if you find it takes too long to load them then rotate them. Lots of people do this. One month or week they'll share perhaps 25% / 50% of their files & then swap them around after that. You can add/remove shared folders either from Tools>Options>Sharing or from the Library window menu File>Add or Remove folder to share. I must say 28 GB is a lot, but I share the same GB (but about 3k files) lol. I guess it depends on the speed of your computer I suppose.

i don't have any problem with how long it takes to start load (BS used to take 15-20 min) limeware loads 28gb of shared files in less than 5-6 but after 10 minutes of so it freezes where as BS wouldn't . was hoping there might be trick or setting i could change or someone had fixed the same prob ;(

OK with such a load & probably lots of incomplete files as well ... might I suggest you leave LW for 30 mins before doing anything with it. Remember LW is not only loading your shared files & folders but also your incompletes whilst simultaneously trying to connect to each individual incomplete one by one. So LW is very busy at this time. That's why I suggest you should let it settle down 1st before doing anything. And don't resume all your files using the resume button. That will very definitely stress LW & is not the most effective method of finding sources. Doing a search is the best technique. Follow some of the other tips I left re: searching & downlding tips. See the example I left at the bottom of one of the posts.
