Mac OSX incomplete downloads
 

Hi,

I've been downloading files , until the last couple of days.

All of a sudden, when I download MP3, although they are on my drive and taking up the appropriate space, they won't open, in Limewire or itunes.

When I click the files, they have no info under the 'duration' or 'audio bit rate' sections.

Something ain't right. Any suggestions appreciated.

incompletes you say? The possibilities I can think of are
1. Fakes. Beware of Fake files in search results
2. Deliberately corrupted files. mp3 Bit-Rates Versus File Sizes (click on link) (ignore the T3 reference)
3. Files that are being shared from another gnutella client program that don't transfer their data/id3 tags properly.
4. mp3pro files that iTunes is unable to play.
5. A higher than normal (above 320 bitrate) that most players cannot read/play.
