Default Corrupt files

I am a new user and half of the files I have tried to download are corrupt. Example: READ the FORUM RULES BEFORE Posting! . I have not found a successful download yet for them.

Any reason or answers?

HELP!

Thanks

Here's a start: T3 Spammers Make a note about File Size versus Bit-Rate (Quality of music encoding.) If two files are same size but different bit-rate then you know one will be corrupt. And if one of those is a T3 source then guess what. Like-wise if two files have the same bit-rate but are quite different in size then one will probably be corrupt. Also don't trust those that are odd bit-rates such as 167 or 203 mbps.

Not all T3's are bad but apparently the RIAA/Music Industry have loaded all the most recent popular songs & sharing them but they are all corrupt. This is to try to kill people's enthusiasm for downlding the songs from others.
