Default movies anyone?

I tried to download a movie (exe file) but as soon as I clicked to download it, I got a message saying "Content Removed" (in the window above). Any ida why? Is there a particular way to download movies?

Don't download exe files!! Look for a movie with a nice safe extension, like mpeg or avi Any file with an exe, zip or rar extension is likely to be infected

Always use Bitzi to check a file before download.

Have a look through this thread too, there's info that applies to movies.

Cheers for your answer. I can't access LW now but I think I checked the other files' extensions and I couldn't find anything else I could think ok to download...

Anyway I'll have a look at it again when I go back home.

WMA is just music. So you are probably downloading a song. Do you mean WMV?

WMV is Windows Media Video. .mov files are QuickTime files. You have to be careful with both these formats (I've filtered out both). Check out the threads below for more info

Most files you find on Gnutella with .Mov extension are porn spammed files. The recomended ones to aim for are mpeg/mpg, avi, divx. Likewise there's a lot of WMV spam. Not to mention other issues with wmv.

Thanks to you both. I had the chance to read a bit more on here and you're right indeed.

How about when I check a movie with Bitzi, there's no comment on it, but there are many ppl trying to downloading it. I try as well but after hours i still says needs more sources?!
