This is a problem all gnutella users are suffering. My advice is stay away from files less than 1 MB (1,000 KB) in size! To get this sorted out, go to NorbiesWorld (click on link) & register & follow his directions. He will ask to run a specific program utility & want you to post the results. It seems like spyware to me ... a program that is calling upon other items to secretly downld (just my theory.) But please go to Norbie's site & do as suggested. He is an expert in this field. We are highly honoured for him to offer his services to this forum. He is very good & qualified!
