mod_rider Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 It's happened 2 or 3 times to me on various days, not in a while though. Not sure what the cause is but I have had a few songs do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 get bearshare...made from same company as limewire but faster www.bearshare.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 get bearshare...made from same company as limewire but faster www.bearshare.com ← Last time i looked at bearshare it was full of spyware. I use limewire pro. A lot of common songs are currupt because the RIAA flooded the Gnutella network with currupt files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 I have LimeWire Pro 4.8.1 and today when downloading songs it came up "this file appears to be corrupt are you sure you want to continue downloading" It was a song as well, maybe its only in the pro version.

Dann Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Yea i get that problem, doesnt happen too often though! Doesnt bother me yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank_rider Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 generally if its a popular song, dont go for the one with the most sources, try getting one with only a few, say 5 sources, as it is more likely to not be corrupt. Bearshare does have some spyware with it, however nothing a .quick sweep with spysweeper straight after installation cant take care of.

Si-man Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I got limewire pro off limewire (stupid gits) and have only ever had 1 corrupt file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philking Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I got limewire pro off limewire (stupid gits) and have only ever had 1 corrupt file. ← Same here, i got pro of normal limewire. But i have had the problem aswell, a song that always corrupts is ''Radio" by robbie :"> never works, whatever sources i get it from, oh well. I think maybe some songs are encoded so you cant share them in this way??? maybe i'm wrong, i mean i actually know sh*t all about computors.
