Yes, the size of the file depends a lot on the format of the movie. For example a 700MB MPEG can be converted and compressed to about 300MB. So you can't really rely on the size of the file to judge integrety. Gnutella is really very unreliable as far as downloading what you think you are downloading goes. I don't know what to tell you, the only way to truely get the real thing is to buy it on DVD or tape. Which defeats the purpose of downloading, I know. Good luck.
