Mystery Liscense Issues

[CISUMITLUM]

A 2-part question... First, how do you know a liscense is attached to a file before downloading it? and... if there is one, how do you open the content? It seems pretty foolish to put a file into circulation that noone can access after waiting 3 hours to download it. Any help on this subject would be great.
Thank you

Some files are licenced and unuseable, It is generally advised that you should not download Programmes off Limewire. They are often trial versions ... incomplete, filled with viruses and unusable. Wmv video files are equally not advised. If you tell us what TYPE of file you have problems with we can help more possibly, but absolutely no file names on the forum pease.

And no you cannot usually find out before download although right clicking in the search window>advanced>Bitzi look up will often give you useful information on the file. That feature opens your browser and takes you to a page for the file on the Bitzi site.

I hope this helps a bit

If you go to tools...options...searching, you can choose whether to be warned about downloading a file without a license.

Also, if you are going to try downloading programs from LW (I do), google the program first. The program may be freeware! Also, you may want to download a trial version from a more reputable source to see if you even like the program. It is always preferable to get the program from the people who make it. The decision is yours.

Good Luck
