Several times I have downloaded a song. When I launched it, it was not the song, but a raspy male voice doing a monologue that starts, "My fellow Americans, I would once again like to say that I did not have sexual relations....." Where does this "file" come from and how does it keep showing up when you think you're downloading a good file?

It's spam, if you notice the file size I think you'll find they're all the same(134.4Kb). Do not download files smaller than 1MB(1000KB) in size cause they are all either viruses or spam.
A couple threads to read:

autogenerated mp3 spam results (click on link)

WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

Use the search feature (above right) and search for Clinton

This file is a lot smaller than a music file. Please take care what siz files you download.

And don't double post. Forum rules at the top of the forums Read please.

zamar21,
You could always preview your download (eg. after 20%) ...this way you'll find out whether it's a good file or spam/crappy sound etc.

Only a Hobo -
Maybe you misunderstood - I'm not looking for the "Clinton" file. I've downloaded what appreared to be normal songs by an artist, and when it downloaded it was the "Clinton" file. I'm assuming someone is taking the names of songs and renaming the Clinton clip with those names - lots of them.

hehehe this member double-posted & forgot to check the answer to their other thread. :D Thanks 6_pac ;)
It's now one big happy single thread! ;)

No Zamar ... I didn't missunderstand you. I gave the same answer as 6Pac in a very different way, not at that time having seen his answer as you double posted, but as LOTR says: "It's now one big happy single thread" and no one's confused any more:)

.. I wanted you to search the forums... not Limewire.... for posts with the word Clinton ... and the posts you found would have told you about the files:)

These b*****rs can automatically stick any name you search for onto theirwretched clinton file .. so check your file sizes.

Thanks for your replies :p
Sorry about the double-post. I thought it was two different forums and I'd have a better chance of getting an answer. You've been great to reply. Be blessed. :)

:) On these forums we tend to be rude to people who double post ... either that or ignore the posts altogether (unless we all answer different posts independently, not realizing it is a double post... and get in a right mess:)

No Problem... Enjoy Limewire:)
