99% CPU Usage ?
 

Hi there

I downloaded a movie last night, it was 714mb. I virus scanned it with Norton and it passed ok.

When I tried to play it both with VLC or WMP it just froze up my laptop.

I checked the task manager and explorer.exe was running at 99% cpu usage.

I rebooted and the same thing happened again. I did a search and I only have 1 explorer.exe file I assume this is the proper system one.

As soon as I deleted the movie all was ok.

What was it ? and do you think it have left anything nasty behind ?

Any ideas guys

I've had a few of these to, and their a corrupt file,I dont think they leave anything nasty behind I havent ran into any problems after they have been removed, check with Bitzi before you download as more often than not they will tell you if its corrupt...;)

Thanks for putting my mind at rest. I usually use Bitzi but the show I wanted was really new and there were no lisitings.

Lesson learnt !

Mind you, sometimes the file can rate ok with Bitzi, something goes wrong somewhere lol. Maybe you can join Bitzi and rate the file as corrupt...Ive be meaning to do this myself ....;)

Silly me deleted it without making a note or I would have rated it.
Found a different version so fingers crossed !

Watch that its not the same file and been titled differently, this happens alot to...;)

Nothing is easy is it !

I will go and preview it. Thanks for the advice.

Not my lucky night. It was the right show but the pilot not the latest episode !

Will tag it on Bitzi

Joy !

Lol, let me know what the process is like signing up with Bitzi..;)

You teach too many people to use Bitzi here :p

Too many users. Been busy all day. Keep getting try again in 10 sec. Have unrated files piling up. :(

sorry for being sort of ignorant but what is a bitzi?

Lol sorry about that :D

Hello Airglyph, have a look at this thread it will teach you about Bitzi....http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=37676 ;)

Hi WW

Signing up with Bitzi was really easy and well worth it. Rather than finding files on LW and checking which takes ages, you can just do a search, find the right file on there and click on the link.

It opens up LW and starts the download. Very cool.

From bad to worse. Instead of telling one person, you directed everyone to an entire tread about it

I hava a feeling you're not sorry at all :o :D

Hey Darling sounds excellent, Im joining up now.......;) Sleepless you should to .......
:D :D

Darling did you download the Bitcollider ????

What link??????;)

Hi there

Yes I downloaded Bitcollider. When you find the movie you want with a good rating you go click on the title and go into the ratings page.
At the bottom is a list of identifiers, I click on this and my Limewire opens and the film starts downloading.

Hope this helps.

Cool it worked, but I need more sources on the file I want but I know its works lol.....;)

Thats great, good luck with the sources.
