No Bitrate on Most Files = Corrupt
 

I have noticed that almost ALL .mp3 files are appearing in the search window with no bitrate. The field is activated, but the bitrate itslef is missing.

I have been searching for songs, then clicking "get more results" over and over. I will find up to 3,000 hits for a song or artist - but only 1 or 2 songs have a bitrate. That means that 2,998 hits are worthless.

If there is no bitrate showing the song will not play. So I have 2 questions.

1. WHY are virtually ALL .mp3 files now corrupt on Limewire?

2. Is there any way to repair or fix a file that has no bitrate shown?

Try going to your Connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...
(try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...) ;)

Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...
