There's no LW support phone number.

You can't preview any file before downloading. There's no central server, you download files from other Gnutella users.
You can preview a file during download, say after 10-15%, then kill the download if the file's not what you're looking for or if quality is bad. Check video & *program files (music isn't rated often) before download with Bitzi. Right click on a search result > advanced > look up file with Bitzi. If the file's been rated, you'll see other users' opinions of it.

If you were scammed into paying for a free version of LW, you should contact your bank/CC company & report this. They may be able to cancel the transaction & will be able to advise you about whether to cancel your card. Some people have been able to get a refund from scammers...read through the threads below.

*zip, exe & rar files aren't to be trusted as they're often infected. Program files which are clean usually won't be of much use anyway, as they'll need a code or CD to run.
