I have downloaded and tried VLC and get a warning saying the VideoLAN Team doesn't like when an application goes online without authorisation. So I guess I've just been downloading corrupt files all the time. It seems a shame when Limewire used to be really good. The usual way that I select files to download is by the size - I've learnt that small files are nasty! But since this is only happening lately, I wonder if Limewire are planning to fix it? Just saw this: VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. The file I was trying to play was an mp3 file.
