Default Do Not Download From This Member

beware when downloading from **** - music track titles are not what you will get! Don't waste your time downloading any tracks from this member - when you preview the track you will hear something completely different (a 1 minute impersonation of a US president. A true music lover and music sharer would not con others in this way.

Read the forum rules, IP postings are NOT allowed. and I suggest you have a AV running while you are downloading. If downloading music, the file extension IS MP3. Nothing else. When you search for a song type title & artist name & check the file size. if its too small andsays MP3 then it is a bogus file and could be a virus as well.

Sorry if the edit above looks a bit harsh but we need to keep to the forum rules. We understand your concerns. What you can also do is ban them. I think you right-click the user in the search results & choose Block Host.

C'mon now. There are other extensions for music files (OGG, WAV, etc).

Taken your comments on board. But I am new to Limewire, and haven't been able to find any help regarding this. But now I've found the forum I'm sure it will be helpful.
