lol This is a forum. We don't work for LW, neither do we get paid. But yes, we like to help people who have problems with using LW. It always helps however if you can provide details about your set up etc.

LW itself has no control over what files users put up for offer or choose to dwnld. This affects the entire Gnutella Network, not just LW but any other p2p app that uses the Gnutella network. Here's some background info.: Quality of Content on the Network & also Fake movies & why So this gives you an idea about how business scam the network & how some other organisations try to fight against p2p (such as the RIAA) who load up corrupt files for the most popular sought after to try to dampen people's enthusiasm for dwnlding music, etc.

Lots of people do not title their files properly. For that reason, if you vary your searches you can often find the files (or other sources of the files) that you're after.

about detecting which files are corrupt. Check the file's bit-rate v's size to see which ones look correct. If you see some that are the same bit-rate but different size then one of them will be corrupt & the other not. It's at times like these when you'e wanting to dwnld those popular files that dial up modem users can be very handy to have around. Backed up with multiple users/sources you can often still get them at reasonable speeds.
