Hi papagray,

A lot of films get renamed for various reasons like if it's porn or a corrupt file ect. One thing you can do is to look up the file with bitzi
(How to use Bitzi Web Lookup ...)

Some films are "cam versions" which means someone took a camcorder into a movie theater and filmed it from their seat. They can be shakey and sometimes you can see people get up during the movie.

Downloading games is risky. A lot are infected with viruses. Same goes for software or program files. a good thread to read is this.
WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

An average movie should be 600MB to 700MB in size and 6hours to download it isn't out of the norm. A lot depends on your connection speed and the speed of the person your downloading from.

It sounds like your doing O.K. Another thread that might be worth checking out.

Also I'm assuming you using Limewire. The LW forum is here.LimeWire (Cross-platform)

Hope this helped
