I still tend to think it's fake files(there's more out there than you'd think). Just to test I d/loaded about 6 popular files last night and they all played fine. Could be your connected to some bad ultrapeers. You should try using PeerGuardian2. It works like a mini firewall that blocks ip addresses know to be unfriendly towards p2p. Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2

If your using the beta version of LW you can use Aarons Hostiles list. It also block undesirable ip's. Instructions for it in this thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...-limewire.html.

I use both and rarely run into problems with fake files.
