What is the big freakin deal? Why isn't someone working on it to fix the damn thing?

Why not read the suggestions about what to do. It's not a LW issue. If people are offering corrupt files, then just avoid those addresses. Search the forum & you'll find more advice. Do a search for corrupt or T3's.

All you foolish noobs really did not figure out my now that it is anti piracy people sending you bad chunks of data to nuke you files yet huh?

I have been having the same problem with "corrupt files" and have noticed that even though the music track previews o/k, it gets to 99% downloaded and starts all over again until it eventually reports "corrupt file" again. Was working fine up until yesterday when i downloaded a lot of music - then almost everything I tried came back with a corrupt file - bloody frustrating!
I have now removed limewire completely (and I mean completely, run a search for any file containing Limewire and delete the lot, as well as uninstalling limewire. also check in file registry entries etc...)
Downloaded beta version and installed it, seems to be working O/K at the moment... first few tracks I'd been struggling with before are now downloaded (But I am taking the advice and avoiding T3 connections...)

I believe, that it is in fact "T3 or Higher" that are the corrupted files or the vast magority, However when I search for a song Thats all the results I get is "T3 or Higher" I rarely get any connection other then that in my results. If I other connections did apear it would only have maybe 1 or 2 files, so is there any way I can search for files and come up with other then the "T3 or Higher" level???

t3? no.. everything i have ever tried to download so far. everything, all corrupt. this is ruining my life

Update your Java & check you've allowed LW access thru your firewalls & modem/routers. Dwnld packets can potentially get damaged if passing thru firewalls. Sounds like something is not giving your dwnld data total free access & is acting like an antibody so to speak.

I'm only getting about 10% or less of the files I want. The rest are corrupt. LimeWire used to be so good, but now I cant get hardly anything none corrupt...

I have downloaded a file it claims is corrupt. It seems fine to me when i preview it.

Obviously it is in a temp file somewhere.

Where will the file be? I want to save it.

thanks for answering my post. could be a firewall problem seeing as we have mcafee but i'm hardly an it technician and get nervous about toying with things i dont really get.. its my dads pc and he will stamp on my head if i break anything. really want to use lw though so any advice would be much appreciated
