Default I am hopping mad!

Grandpa, I'm so upset:
Poor you, working 12 hour days (for which I hope you are getting lots of pay) and I'm here fussing with my computer, having worse issues with WinXP Home Explorer, than LW even.
That's not what I'm angry about. Is there anyway to track down those lovely LimeWire users who purposefully misname their movie files?
I've just learned to use the preview feature so I don't spend days downloading Crash, only to find I've been given a porno movie. One Batman Begins was Harold and Kumar go to "White Castle", and another was "House of Wax", neither of which I want taking up room on my computer. Another I was saving to enjoy later was Robots, and it too was a porno movie. What sad people that have to do that! Worse, because I didn't check them out right away, a whole bunch of other LW users downloaded them off my system unaware of what they were getting. Just makes me sick!
This never happened two months ago. I bet there's no way to track these poor excuses for a joke back to the orginators. So sad. But thank goodness for the preview option.
On top of everything else, I've been downloading a lot of Batman Begins because almost everyone of them has something radically wrong with it, like the background sound track loud, but the voices too low to hear, or they aren't the movie at all, and another bunch won't play due to codecs missing for the avi files while other avi files work just fine. I downloaded a huge list of codecs, but I don't want to install any of them till I know which ones are missing. I found a list of the ones on my system under My Computer properties, hardware devices, audio/video. At least I know which ones don't need to be installed, but where do I go to find out which ones do need to. Wish the message that some codecs were missing would tell us which ones.
Oh, and then, get this, I got an avi file of Batman Begins to download and it was beautiful, great picture, great sound, but it was only half the movie and no matter how I do my search I can't find the other half. I'm so tired and bummed out.
Sorry, don't need to be laying all this on you or anyone else, just feeling a bit low right now. Wish I was working, even 12 hours a day. It's better than playing on this computer all day and all night.
I want to go back to work so badly, but I don't even know if they will give me my old position back. After 5 years of giving UPS my very best, too. I finally had to pay for a lawyer to write them a letter about discrimination, but they are so huge and have so many lawyers that I'm sure they could care less about our pitiful little letter. Meantime I'm doing a web job search just in case.
Oh, sorry again. See? What a grump I am tonight. I think I need to go sleep all this away and start fresh in the morning.
I really appreciate the feedback I get from everyone concerned. Helping each other is just about all we've got. I emailed a letter to LW Pro Tech Support about two weeks ago and never got a reply. Is that usual?
Well, good night and sweet dreams to all. Try not to work too hard, Grandpa. And do they happen to have an opening for another hardworker? Just kidding!
