If that's the case, you might need to temporarily stop sharing the folder this file is in. Before you stop sharing, go to LW's menu-Tools-Options-Sharing menu & make a note of the folder(s) name, location & path. Now you can stop sharing; select the appropriate shared folder in your LW Lib window, Go to LW menu-File & select Stop Sharing Folder. Now you can delete the file. To resart sharing that folder again, go back to the LW menu-File & select Add file to Share, Or go back to LW menu-Tools-Options-Sharing & reset/reselect your shared folder(s) & start sharing again.

There's various things you can 'try' to help with the dwnld. (a) Only dwnld one item at a time, (b) Do another search for the movie & see if you can latch onto more sources & be dwnlding from more than one source. (Keep in mind that not all people have fast internet connections some as slow as dialup modem & some as good as T1.) You will have connected to the 1st available source of the movie, be that a modem source or something better, or you may be dwnlding from a few modems at the same time. (c) Kill the Dwnld in the LW dwnld window & reselect it to dwnld. You may be luckier next time to latch onto a faster source (if you do this it would be worthwhile to re-search for the movie so you can find fresh sources - sources in search results can go stale if they've been sitting there for a while). By killing the dwnld, it will not delete the incomplete file you've been dwnlding. So when you redwnld it, it will resume where it left off. (the only small chance this doesn't happen, kill the dwnld & select another from the search results.)
(d) see this link to help configure LW for better results: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1
I hope these suggestions help.

THANKS LORD OF THE RINGS FOR THE LINK .......IM GOING TO TRY THAT .....I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION....IT SEEMS YOU WANT EVERYONE TO ENJOY THERE EXPERIENCE.........................THANKS

I had to smile when I saw your consternation at DL a movie and it wasn't "the right movie." I completely and totally sympathize with you. Nothing cheeses (read ******) me more than the chowderheads out there that call "Debbie Licks A Lolipop", "read the Rulez Full Complete DivX - Super High Quality - Best Movie Burn Ever." THE ABSOLUTE WORST are the idiots who allow the file to perpetuate and then spread it all over cyber-creation. These folks have some sort of agenda but I'll be damned if I know what it is. If you have Cable/DSl or higher then usually you have wasted some bandwidth and a little time. If you have a JURASSIC STONE AGE 3000 Modem (read 128 or less) then I really feel bad for you because you will waste all your Bandwidth and about 3 days of your life to watch A grainy, incomplete copy, of Debbie licking her lolipop instead of seeing NEO and the gang kick some serious behind. ALL IS NOT LOST. Here are some simple tips I have come to use that save me a lot of lifespan and keep that little vein above my left temple from bursting. 1) Look at the file size before you click on the file name that says, for example, "read the Rulez - Complete Movie, Pristine Quality - You can't Find A Better Copy Than This" or some similar nonsense. If the file size is anything less than 600-750 MB than you DO NOT HAVE A FULL MOVIE! (Unless it is a torrent file - and I don't see many of those). Further, what do you think the chances are of read the Rulez being SUPER HIGH QUALITY? Very, very slim, my friend. That movie just came out so you have to know that some guy who can't get a date probably spent his money on a cheap camera and sat in the back row of a cheap theatre to record it. Also, any file that is less than 3000 KB is usually a redirect to a site that either requires you to DL a license to view it (read SPYWARE ADWARE ALERT). I higly suggest that no matter how bad you want to see Debbie lick that lolipop you don't accept that lisence because you will spend forever and a day getting all that spyware and adware off your CPU even with a good cleaner. I' further suggest, if you haven't already, get the best modem and speed you can afford, and the most updated memory you can afford. I'm sure there are people out there that have better ideas than mine or disagree with what I have said but it's based on my own experience--everyone is different. I had tons of problems with Morpheus and Morpheus Pro but no problems with LW Basic. So, go figure. I hope it helps to know that there are others that share your frustration. I was trying to think of a convention that LW could use to screen out these mis-labeled files but there isn't a practical way that I can think of offhand. You would have a little better luck with a torrent because the likelyhood of someone DL a bad copy of the same file from 200 people is remote of a file like read the Rulez Season 2 - Episode 1.

chicagojohn to answer the part of your question/point about incorrectly labelled movies & such, have a look at the following thread 'Quality of Content on the Network', 6th post on the page: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&pagenumber=12 You've made some good points about spyware & poor quality movies. Some other threads on the forum (in different sections) have also discussed some of these issues. Interesting stuff.

Forgive my ignorance of some of the "RULEZ." I just got onto LW and have read through some but not all of them (rulez). Apparently on this P2P forum you can't mention anything commercial. That wasn't my point I was trying to empathize/sympathize with the user (or uzr). I don't wish to be banished to the 47th plane of non-existence (crude Christopher Guest reference). I am very pleased with LW and have posted some inq. regarding pro. If you see them--I value your opinion. I have read some of your responses and appreciate the way you get to the point. Unfortunately, as a writer, I tend to add "color" where it is not needed which conflicts with my neo-hack attitude of late. Anyway, thanks for the reponse.
