In your Limewire search window, the column that has a # on it, shows the number of people that have that exact file.

When files won't download it is very often because the search has triggered spamresults instead of real results

Try looking through this guide for more tips on how to find what you are looking for

If you find thousand of results in your search then most likely most will be fake. Try those with just a few sources, or even modem users can be trusted here in this regard (highly unlikely to host fakes.)

Did some testing. There really are more fake files. Will look more into that "Get more results" idea that Lagz came up with

Check the file size, a movie shold be around the 700mb mark give or take 100mbs...

Just to add to what WW just said. If the filename says anything like Full Movie or New *actor* movie or Full Song or New Single and other things like that, the file is probably nothing of the sorts.

I have tried close to 800 MB files being a japanese dubbed trailer and then a black screen for 2 hours. And you know I don't get codec problems
