Angry Corrupt File - probably fake files

LimeWire or LimeWire Pro does not solve the "corrupt file" problem. I'm using LimeWire for the first time, tried to download 8 varying source of the same song, and got "corrupt file" for ALL of them either during partial download or at the completion. This does not bode well (and irritates the hell out of new users trying out LimeWire) for LimeWire as:
1. It shows it's no better than Kazaa (or Klite), who cares about speed if you get corrupt files.
2. I don't understand why LimeWire doesn't just filter out "corrupt" files even if that means a slower search.

I think the "corrupt" files are the same as the "fake" files over at Kazaa where the files are either just filled with silence or noise or loops of sections of music. These are my main source of frustration and my main reason for switching to other P2P networks. My conclusion is though LimeWire is no worse than Kazaa, it's no better and not worth switching to, much less pay for.
