Question The Weird and Wonderful world of Vista/Limewire

Yo-Ho Folks:
The weird part is true...you can judge the wonderful yourself. I have been having the same problem as a lot of people with downloading movies. But, get this, I can download any size porn movie from full length trash to miniscule nonsense. (Try it. It's the quickest way to check different file sizes since it takes up 90% of any search.) I cannot download a regular movie or video clip. Right now I have been running a search on a movie which shows 19,732 available sources. I have tried at least 8 different sources and all I get is the `need more sources` message. Now, I know these are not all bogus sites because I downloaded the same movie from the same source on an iMac I tried out for a couple of months.
I do have a question regarding Limewire Pro: when I upgraded, the download page informed me that I would receive my installation code by e-mail after I clicked on continue. When I clicked it the download stared immediately (no code requested)and it seemed to load and run O.K. (got new icons and all that jazz) At the same time I did receive an e-mail which must have had an .exe file because my inbox has lit it up like a Christmas tree. What I would like to know is this: was the download that started without a code a complete application or do I have to dump the old file and reload from the e-mail I received. Secondly, this e-mail says it is a download site not just a download code. The message looks legit, but...
Thanks for any comments or assistance you can give me.
