Default gnutella.net problems

I haven't been able to connect with Limewire for close to a month now, and I was going back through all the potentially useful suggestions I could find to see if any would help me. I'm currently working (again) on replacing my gnutella.net file, but it doesn't seem to download properly. I tried both links provided in birdy's sticky thread, but each one ends up as an MPEG-1 Video file, with a QuickTime icon visible. Prior to this connection difficulty, I had trouble connecting and so replaced my gnutella.net file then--that time it worked fine, the file looked like a blank page as it should, and I was able to connect once again. I don't understand why the download window appears saying I'm going to download a binary file yet it ends up being a video file. Can anyone help with this oddity?

I had the same problem last week:
my daughter lost her connection with LW
so she tried to download a new gnutella.net file
from here it came out like this :-

krill.shacknet.nu:20095,,1188924860765,,,en,0
etc etc etc

so I tried downloading from gnutella.net which
downloaded to her desktop but as a text file --
I tried several times from both but no good --
I fixed the problem by copying the gnutella.net file
from my copy of LW on my computer on to a USB
stick and downloaded it to my daughters laptop --
deleted her gnutella.net file and inserted mine and it Connected

Default great, but...

Glad you were able to find a way around the problem, but I can't do that unfortunately--I have no good copy of the gnutella.net file to work with. I need a way to download it as a binary file and have it stay a binary file. Anyone else?

Default nope, didn't work

Tried that link, but I still have it saved as a video file when the download is complete. Anyone know how to stop this from happening (or even why it's happening)?

me too, I just downloaded from gnutella.net and it solved my problem. And ... check your file associations. Could your .net files be associated with QT?

I do not have .net files associated with QuickTime; regardless, I don't understand how that could affect the way a file is downloaded--doesn't it just pertain to how a file is opened/read once it's been saved?

Every time I have saved a gnutella.net file it ends up being listed as an MPEG-1 Video with a Quicktime logo showing on the icon. And I tried four or five different links, multiple times. In the end, I had to use a Windows machine to download a good copy and then transfer it to my machine (a Mac). But, about two months ago when I had difficulty connecting and tried this replacing gnutella.net option, I successfully downloaded the file and got Limewire up and running no problem. So I just don't get what's going on that it won't properly save the gnutella.net file as a binary file.
