Does anyone know why I cannot get movies that I have requested? Why I get *** when I`ve downloaded ****;And why a movie only seems to last 40 mins??

A real "Full" movie file is about 700 Megs, depending on the format. Sometimes, you can find a movie cut in parts.
Also, resting you mouse on the file name of the search result sometimes gets you more info on the file which, for a great part of them, contain the true names of the files.

Yes, the size of the file depends a lot on the format of the movie. For example a 700MB MPEG can be converted and compressed to about 300MB. So you can't really rely on the size of the file to judge integrety. Gnutella is really very unreliable as far as downloading what you think you are downloading goes. I don't know what to tell you, the only way to truely get the real thing is to buy it on DVD or tape. Which defeats the purpose of downloading, I know. Good luck.
