Default 851.7mb..what the...

I realize that I do not have a whole lot of knowledge on peer to peer sogtware so I came to the place where the experts are. For some reason everything I am trying to download in terms of trials are all 851.7mb and they are all viruses...EVERYTHING!!! The sad part is i paid for this software....it is not the pro version but it is the latest non-pro version. Any suggestions...does pro get rid of all those viruses or should I give up.
Thanks all
Me

WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

just dont download the files that are that size.
mp3s (music) are usually 3,000kb - 5,000kb
avis (full length movies) are approx 600mb

pro wont do anything to get rid of the files...

you paid for limewire basic ?

that has been a 'hot topic' recently and the answer seems to be no!

you can filter out keywords but as these files seem to have a million different names that option is useless.

you just have to be careful and always check the file size before you download. you can always do bitzi lookup before you start downloading!

How to use Bitzi Web Lookup .. & How to use Magnet Links & Direct Connect/Browse/Chat

and remember you can search for something 1 minute, then the next a thousand users could log on to limewire so if you search the same thing again 5 minutes later you could have completely different results!

Let me guess you're seraching for pirated software and thats why you cant find the right sizes? Learn math, think big, not small. You need to go by MEGS. XXX.XXX.XXX megs is the size of software. which if you do download, you will need other things to get it open and dont come here asking how to crack software, the same for games, they are large, XXX,XXX, MEGS, same for movie files etc...A piece if software is extremely large and will take days to download. and if you do dl you better scan it for virsues.
