Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1.

Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines.

 "***" : - Corrupt video files & Blocking multiple sources issue hi, many files show pretty authentic names/sizes/... and are 'offered' by numerous hosts (why cant I block just the whole bunch of host displayed in search results?). So, no way for me to determine which is good and which isnt. Even bizzi fails (one episode I downloaded was perfectly corrupt but www.bizzi ... told me that this file got a 1.4 rating and is supposed to be good!? Have anyone made the same eyperience? thanx markus p.s.: dont waste your time on explaining to me how to make non-corrupted files play - Iknowhow2dothis -; the files I'm talking about are corrupt!

| The problem with blocking some of these hosts is that they may have dynamic ip's. Meaning on another day they will probably have a different ip. And some other unlucky person may have adopted the previous ip. Just a thought! Doesn't Right-clicking the search result & choosing block then block them all? Actually I just tried it out & it does only seem to block the 1st in line! Last edited by Lord of the Rings; February 15th, 2005 at 05:35 AM. |

| hi, thats exactly what happens when I right-click and block: just the first ip gets blocked. the most irritating to see is the speed which with fakers adopt to very specific file names (i.e. xy.hdtv-lol.[BT].avi). markus Last edited by photopilote; February 15th, 2005 at 06:16 AM. |

| hdtv.avi is there such a thing? I mean hd refers to high resolution. Which should be over 1000 pixels each way (I can't remember off hand. There's more than one hd format anyway; several) I could only suggest to ignore those particular ones. Unless other members have any suggestions. *** was a great series by the way! I most enjoyed it!  Last edited by birdy; February 7th, 2008 at 08:48 PM. |

| Certainly very popular. I did a search for it & came up with lots of results. When you say the results have names like: xy.hdtv-lol.[BT].avi), are you able to see that in the search results or only after you've finished downlding it? I can't see any such files in my search results. The show seems to be popular in Japan also. Which version of LW are you using out of curiousity? |

| Greetings photopilote, I just played around with this. Only program that would play it was MC. I tried RM,WMP,Nero Showtime,VLC. The file type I d/led was xy.xyz.hdtv-lol[BT].avi. Well I figured out why only MC would play it. Whoever is sharing it knowingly or unknowling encrypted it. I did the bizi also and got the same rating results on this file. It wasn't corrupt just encrypted. Kinda stupid if you ask me. **edit** was refering to being encrypted **edit** Last edited by fabion; February 15th, 2005 at 11:49 AM. |

 @ Lord of the Rings, what counts most in the 'hdtv-lol' is probably the 'lol' ... (to get serious again: I think it just indicates the broadcast-format, the encoded file size is somewhat about 520x...) Actually theres a guy out there who likes to add 'lol' to his filenames. This guy does very good encodings and I never had problems with those files. And yes the filename remains the same: from searching to completing download. I'm using 4.4 now, but as I didnt update (from 4.2.6) but yesterday I can confirm that nothing changed when it comes to those fake files Jop, *** is great!! Just finished the third day and just cant stop ... . @ fabion thanx a lot, I'll check this out. p.s.: did I say dont explain me how to make an avi-file play?!? shame on me ....

| @ fabion, just tried the mc but couldnt get the file played. Gspot is telling me mpeg1-layer3 32 kbps 44100 Hz, size 343mb audio only file. Actually its an japanese TV-Rip, so maybe its compressed in a unusual way? Which version of MC did you use? thanx |

| MC version 2002 sp2. And ouch you got me there. I forgot about 2 weeks ago I added some features when I got a japanese keyboard for this comp., and hooked it up. It worked good for the most part with LimeWire, no problems other than the ones I generated. But I was consistently having problems with M$ products and displaying proper characters. I d/led numerous items from the M$ website to correct this. I don't recall everything right now, but I'm wondering now if I didn't install some special codecs at the same time. I got audio and video on the program I d/led yesterday. I only received one msg. when I tried to play it. "This file has been encryted would you like to decrypt ". Yes No Cancel I will see if I still have the e-mail from M$ tech support about this. It had the links to the items I d/led. I'll pm it to you when I find it. |
