Default Limewire stops download of "corrupt" file

When you select a file to download, the first thing LW does is download the hash of the file which lists the properties of the file. After completing download of the file, LW then rechecks the hash versus the actual file to make sure both match.
HI Lord of the Rings,
so here I am on my new MacBook and LW5 and it keeps stopping downloads saying files are corrupt... it seems they are not. I followed your instructions & link above but a) no recall at all of any popup having asked anything and b) can't reset the popup since no options under Tools..
Please can you help?

Thanks a lot,
Sandra
