illegal characters in file names

the problem you described has been traced to file names that contain these characters:

\ / : * ? " | < >

These are "illegal characters" in Windows & LimeWire won't download these files on any platform.

The only solution I know of is to find another file with a file name that does not have any of these characters in the name.

I have a Mac & these characters are legal, except for : colon, but the files still won't download.
