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.

Install Java first. You can either try the latest version (I have this one & LW's working fine): Java SE Downloads
or try this older version, which has worked well for lots of people: Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11
Whichever Java version you use, download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions before installing another one.
People using LW 5 won't be able to use Java 5 - you'll need to install Java 6.
Now reinstall LW: http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe

Default Same problem, any other ideas?

I have a brand new laptop, the most recent Java and am still getting this same problem. Have googled it as well as searched here, to no avail. Could this be a particular vista setting that needs tweaking?

I googled this late last year. Spittet files is a type of splitting of files into smaller ones. Much as in the same way you can RAR a file & split it into parts. You need specific program(s) to join those parts however.

Whether this is the problem I have no idea. Not sure why you should be getting such a message unless the message has another meaning. Perhaps the java or LW installation is incomplete or corrupt.

Try this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html but before reinstalling LW, delete your LW preferences also; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

Default Splittet files...

I did the above and am now viewing hiiden files. There is no LW folder there at all. This error comes during the installation process, just after clicking "english" so I am assuming the preferences folder has not even been installed at the point I get the error. After the error, the installation aborts itself.

What I can't figure out is why this is such an uncommon problem. It leads me to believe (considering my laptop is new and running the newest versions of everything) that it must be a security setting or a preloaded program that is preventing the installation.

Also, the error says it "annot open the input file for splittet files"so maybe the problem isn't with the splittet files but this input file, make any sense? Probably bating a dead horse here but hoping there may be some insight out there.

An alternative to the installer is another version. All you do is unzip & then use. However you must have the most recent JRE java version installed on your system.

Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use!

Do you have spyware program on your computer? Some anti spyware programs are also anti p2p sharing programs despite they have no spyware. It's either poor programming else, the programmers themselves are against p2p sharing (yes I've read one spyware programmer admit it.)

Default Figured it out!

For future reference to anyone having the same problem:

Download LW, save it to computer (don't run). Pause Kaspersky Antivirus. Open download and install. Seems the problem is Kaspersky. Worked for me. Thanks LOTR for offering your adivce.

Now install LW & make sure that you've used the offline installer. When you're at the LW site & click to download, cancel the dialog box that pops up. Now use the option to download the offline installer.
Thanks a million - had the same problem as Noobster
