Pardon if this is a dumb question.

I have just started using LimeWire and haved downloaded a dozen audio files. It seems that most (8 of 13) contains some defect - pops, clicks, dropouts. Is this normal? Is it a problem with the original source file, or with the transfer protocol introducing errors? IOW, does Gnutella do error detection and correction that insures a file arrives undamaged?

Thanks for any advice.
