If you are trying to download some program. Yes, it's you

If you are not looking at filesize before downloading. Also you

If not then please try to give a more detailed description of the problem. What kind of files, use of filters etc.

yes i am trying to download programs but always .zip or rar
im not sure what you mean by filters because i have never had to use filters before. I have never had a problem before downloading anything from limewire it has been a great P2P server I also understand that I am connecting to others pc's and that limewire is just a gateway to them. Try down loading ******* that is the latest file i have tried to access but can not download do to the alcan/32 trojan

(READING RULES WONT POST FILE NAMES)

Best advice is to go out and purchase the software you are trying to d/l.....Guaranteed virus free:wink:.

Have you tried checking the files with Bitzi Web Lookup to see if they have been rated by other users. Program files are the most likely to be infected with viruses.

BadCopy Pro is a copyrighted program and as such is against the Forum Rules to discuss ways to aquire it illegally. My advice to use Bitzi Web Lookup is good and is one way to help distinguish a good file from a bad one. The part about buying it was meant to be tounge in cheek, hence the wink at the end.

So I could call you a troll since you you are acting like one.

BTW thanks for the response, my post count just went up by one.

Pretty please with sugar on top get into your head that Limewire is not a good program to download other programs with. This issue is getting old. If you are so set on obtaining programs illegally then use something else to do it with.

There is no other way than to use Bitziweb lookup as the large majority of all applications shared on Limewire contain viruses

Look 6_pac. Almost 1.000 now

Must now hurry on now to give some more useless advice so I reach the magic number

guess I should have taken my own advice that is given and done some fuggin reading.

I followed the link that was provided and READ lord of the rings posts and FAQS. and understand the Bitziweb lookup now.

The quoted post and the ones that followed are a result of 2 things
1 being totaly frustated (download junkie)
2 excess whiskey last night

thanks for info and help
