The answer was to open the movie in the VLC player, I have this player but how do I preview my downloads with it? I cannot find a way to make it my default player in Limewire.Every time I preview a file,it goes straight to media player. Please can someone help me,it is very stressing when I am downloading movies from limewire and then I can't open them. Thanks
try this: have open on your desktop both Limewire and vlc.
click on your partial download in limewire and drag it off to the desktop - you can do this whilst it is still downloading...it just puts a copy on you desk top. Now just drag this copy into the opened vlc and volia! the clip now plays. You can simply delete the desktop clip after and the file in LW continues downloading throught all this..
