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 Online Installer Test

We are testing our online installer for a period of time today.

If anyone installing on Windows (free version) has problems retrieving the Full Installer from the network, please post here, along with all relevant info, such as OS version (Win98, WinXP, etc), network connection type (modem, dsl, etc), ISP, System info (ram, etc), Firewall status (which firewall and what is blocked?), and anything else that seems relevant to the problem.

Thanks a bunch!

Right right...

Except that it isn't a beta test, it's for the release installer.

Edit: I suppose that would be a good place to link to this thread. =)

Edit: I suppose saying "we are testing [...]" was probably confusing. A better way to phrase this would be "We are throwing this installer into the wild for a proper, release-mode test."

Angry Just isn't working...

I am trying to install the new limewire (4.9) but it keeps giving me an error.

It gets to a part where it says "locating installer sources"

then after awhile it gives me an error saying:

LimeWire Swarmed Installer cannot locate any download sources, and will now exit.


I just put together a new computer and this is a fresh Windows XP install with Service Pack 2.

I installed the new Java 5.0 as well.

My specs are:

AMD 64 4000 San Diego 2.4 ghz 1gb Cache
1gb OCZ Platinum Rev 2. RAM Dual channel
250 GB Hard Drive
BFG 7800 GTX 256

(It isnt a hardware issue, but it never hurts to brag a little lol)

My internet is working fine (I am posting this, so it seems to be working)

... hmm, I just thought it could be my router settings.

well i dont have access to the source code nor have i tested it thoroughly or hard enough, but port forward 6346 to your computer ip and be sure to disable firewalls and/or allow the stub installer to connect if any firewalls ask you to allow it.

but all seems to work great on my end.

Default Please, no more Online Installer.

When will you get rid of the online installer? I prefer installing things the old fashioned way. This is reminding me of World Of Warcraft patches...

I will try again tommorow to install LimeWire when the online installer is gone.

Don't forget this installer is still under development - we appreciate your input. For the time being, we'll keep offering both installers.

We have updated the online installer - it should be posted on the website in a few minutes.

Please test with the new one and see if it fares better for you.

Thanks!

Default Ill try again

I'll have to give this a try after work, sorry if I seemed mad, I was just frustrated that it wasn't working.

Hopefully it works and you guys lower your bandwidth.

It's a great service I can't live without. Thanks
