Weird downloading problems...?
 
Okay.. I have Mac OS X, although I really don't know if that has anything to do with my problem. Recently, a lot of the mp3's I've been downloading off of Limewire are not working. They have all been really popular music, downloading from seven, eight, or nine hosts at a time, but when I go to listen to them in iTunes, there is no sound whatsoever, and the playing time always has some totally knocked-up number like 18:00 or 20:00 or something.. Does anyone know what the problem is??! Could it be that I'm downloading too many at once? I highly doubt that though, because whenever I delete it from my iTunes library and download the same song again (sometimes even a completely different file of the song) it does the same thing!!! Even though it's not everything I download that gets messed up, only once have I gotten a song that has been to download correctly since this has been happening.. is this happening to anyone else??? If so, could you please tell me WHY and how to fix it?!? lol.. it's making me mad..

It happens to the newest & most popular songs! Have a look at this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28801
Basically try to stay away from T3 sources. Check the bitrate v's size of the file. That's frequently one way of knowing the file will be corrupt. If there's some the same size but different bit-rate, then they or some of those sources will be corrupt.
