Post Problems with Links / Content

This is a general response for the people who have left me messages using the chat feature in LimeWire.

Problem: when I select a link from the content index limewire says awaiting more sources.

Solution: execute a search using the prefix CBT - and your downloads will start.
Question: Did I put a virus in the programs?

Answer:there no viruses in the content being distributed from our hosts. Each file is packed using PKFSX - self extracting executable because we tokenized the filenames so that they would be eight characters for less the original file name is not as descriptive as the file you download. therefore, the extraction program access as an installer unpacking the contents to the \leeware folder on your machine. As always you should make sure that your virus scanner is up to date as we cannot ensure that there hasn't been someone who have downloaded, inserted malicious code and repacked the archives. However, all over content has been submitted to Bitzi and can be looked up there to verify the integrity of the archive.


Thanks in advance for your support.
