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. 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. |

 Trying to download Limewire 5. "internet explorer cannot download..." When i go to download the newest Limewire and i click run. it gets a little way and then i get a message saying "Internet Explorer Cannot Download LimeWireWin.exe from download.limewire.com The Connection with the server was reset." I have no idea what that means, i had the original version before and just now decided to change. Just to add, i have all my Limewire files saving on a separate memory device. its like 500 gigs WD is the brand. I dont know if thats part of the problem but i downloaded before and it worked fine. I also use Zune because i have a Zune Player and i recently downloaded the newest version of the Zune software. Would that have any affect on it???? Im comparably tech savvy...but still dont know some of the computer tech names n stuff. so bare with me here...try to explain as much as you can on how to do certain things lol.  Please, i need to know how to fix this. Thanks, Miranda  Last edited by Miranda.rolyat; September 25th, 2009 at 10:08 PM.  |

 Try saving the file, rather than running it. If the installer downloads, then find the installer that you've saved & open it. If still no luck, try clearing IE's cache. Or try using a different browser. Are you downloading from the official site? Official Website & Free Download - Lime Wire |

| I wouldn't have thought that having LW's downloads saving to an external drive would make any difference. Are you downloading the installer to your external drive as well? Try changing the location for saving downloads within IE (not LW's downloads, just things that you download from the internet in general). Within IE's options there should be somewhere to change the location of saving downloads. I don't have a Zune either, so I'm not sure whether the Zune software would interfere with files downloading. You could use Google to see whether other people have run into problems after downloading the latest Zune software. Is it only LW's installer that you're having trouble with, or have you seen the same error when trying to download other files? Which OS are you using? |

| ugh i have no idea how to do any of that. No i havent seen any problem with downloading anything else, just LW. The whole reason i have the external drive is because my LW took up all of my virtual memory, so thats why i got a 500gig external lol, now no problems, till i try to upgrade my limewire. I think i might just remove my old LW completely and see if anything works after that. Like anything to do with LW. |

| If you're going to uninstall LW then see points 1 - 7 here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html Just remember that if you're using a Pro version of LW, you'll lose that Pro version unless you have an installer saved or have current Pro benefits (so that you can download from your Pro download page) |

| LW Pro uses an offline installer but by default the Basic version does not. If you are a LW Basic user, I'd recommend downloading the offline installer instead first http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe This link is included in Birdy's link above but just thought I'd point this out about installing LW. Birdy's link suggests a clean way of installing LW. BTW clearing browser cache is different to clearing browser history. And like Birdy, I only use internet explorer when I really have to (because M$ forces you to use it for their updates); it's a poorly designed browser program & has bugs like no other.
