Hi everyone

Is there anyway you can check that the file you are downloading is the actual file you want.......not something else some geek as decided to change the name of :D


Kids huh :rolleyes:

If it's a video file you can preview it (either hit the Preview button beneath the downloads window or open your preferred media player, file, open, and navigate to folder Incomplete, or whatever your Os calls it).
I guess you can do the same with audio files. Never tried it myself.
Programs, Docs, Images - wouldn't know. Obviously scan all programs for viruses before opening if you use Windoze.

The way I usually do it is, first, before I click on a search result to download I click with a right mopuise click on it and go to Advanced>Lookup file with Bitzi. There I check the file size and any other description I can get. Then I might decide to download it and after 5-10% of the download I check with the "Preview" function of LW to see if it is what i am looking for.

Just my 5-cents-worth
Cheers
