Default Being sent to a website instead of downloading!

Ok...I've tried to read through all the forums and have not found anything relating to the problem I have starting having so here goes... I am trying to download a program (which I have done before) and while it shows that there are well over 100 sources I am continually sent to this website: http://www.artistdirect.com/prm/red/lg/landing/0,,g%7Cpaint%20shop%20pro,00.html Any ideas on this? It doesn't matter how many different items I try (again, all have high numbers of sources) I only get sent to the above website.

You are encountering spam files I'm afraid and are often found with high numbers. .. best to go for files wih 10-20 hosts.

I wonder which version of Limewire you are using, as 4.12.6 ..the latest regular release, eliminates these tiresome files as a rule

Thanks Hobo. I am currently running 4.10.9 and I shall try a newer version. Darn spam...ya just can't get away from it! First time I've encountered this though...I have just over 1,000 downloads. Guess I was lucky up until now.

You probably have acquired an eye for what is a good file, but some of the more recent spam files are very well disguised.. I advise you to keep your old Limewire archived or the installer safe if you still have it .. just in case you fancy reverting to it.

Although in fact 4.10.9 was the one version before 4.12.6 ... All those in between were experimental Beta versions.
