To use limewire legally you cannot download any files that have a copyright attached to them, that goes for mp3's, video's, programs and games etc....

But each country has it's own laws on copyright violation, so depending on where you live the laws can vary.....

Pop legal into the search tab, there are hundreds of threads on this subject...

Your probably trying to download a fake file...
Check this sticky out it will tell you ways of avoiding them...
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...h-results.html

Go to Tools > Options > Searching > Lisence Warning and make sure the box is not ticked and select apply...

If that does not help 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...

Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up...
Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2

If you're using Vista, there's this PG2 Beta available for Vista users.
PeerGuadian 2 for Windows Vista beta released - Phoenix Labs

PeerGuardian 2:Manual - Phoenix Labs Wiki


Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...This will block known fake IP addresses...

I think its a file that someone downloaded from a site that you pay per download such as music so much per song that song is now the property of that person and can't be shared without permission from the download site the same goes for some movies if you paided for the song only you can use it and can't let anyone download and use unless thay have a license from the same site to view or hear the song sites like I-tune

Use Bitzi (described in the Forum) and you'll get good info on files before DL'ing them (and you'll avoid Dom Player and other scams).

Not quite sure what you mean by "blocked".
Sounds like a licensing issue. Go to Tools > Options > Searching > License Warning and make sure the box is not checked and select apply.
And don't forget to use Bitzi to check files before downloading them.
