curropt file
 
this is a load of crap that these *** bags with extremely high internet connections can shag us lowly un rich folks. im thinking all the T3 connections must be corporate *** bags from the music industry just trying to make our lives misserable. i was downloading all the new stuff for about a week and now this crap. i say if someone has T3 then they are trying to shag and sitting back laghing so delete their memberships and send them packing

I noticed the other day that my preferences had been set to only search for T3 or Higher, which I cannot in my wildest dreams imagine choosing myself. Is it possible that these mysterious T3 industry backed suppliers of corrupt files have managed to attach a virus that changes preferences or have I just gone insane one night and clicked this by accident? (It's not impossible, just unlikely but then so are lots of things that happen in my life). It would make sense if they did, since that's the speed they are operating on and with this option selected all I EVER got was listings of T3 supplied corrupt files. Once I set it back to accepting all speeds I've got no shortage of genuine files to choose from again from T1's on down.

Oh, and by the way, I now routinely use the excellent launch facility with any music file downloads when the file is a few percent downloaded. This quickly alerts me to a corrupt file as those don't play anything and the progress bar skips to the end within a second or so - so I can kill the download and not waste my time with it.

Corrupt Files
 
Ok so i posted my last rant and rave 2 days ago. since then i have downloaded about 100 songs without a single problem, listen to them and the quality is excellent. i have come to the conclusion that all the T3 files are curropt. we can sit and talk about conspiracy theories all day long but the fact of the matter is that the only time we all have problems downloading is when we try and download off of a T3 user. So down with the T3 users, dont download from them and you should be allright.

I'm having the same problem with corrupt files only mine is with any speed. It only started happening when I upgraded to 4.0.8. This should not be happening at all. I have been a faithfull user almost since the beginning and have been paying faithfully for Pro for a while now. Can't someone look into this like FAST.

Also, with this new version, it seems like the program does not connect automatically like it did before. I have to connect manually. If it does connect on it's own it takes forever to get up to turbocharged. What's up with that?

Another problem, on some downloads it finishes (99%) then starts over downloading from the same source. This never happened before. ANSWERS PLEASE!

EVERY file is CORRUPT lately!
 
All of the sudden, I'm in the same boat where every song, every file, every attempt downloads and when I go to play it, it's 1/2 hour long and silent OR I learn that it's corrupt AFTER I've waited hours to get it.

I live where Jesus lost his shoes so the squirrels running the wheels for our dial-up is the fastest connection I can get:( Imagine my frustration! FYI: Mac G4 OSX 10.3.4, gig+ ram...

Hey I only less than 2 weeks ago swapped over from dial-up, I know very well how frustrating it can be.

There has bee a recent discussion about T3 users offering corrupt files, be they representing the music/video industry or the RIAA, just stay clear of those connetions if possible! To find out more, do a forum search for T3 connections or similar, such as RIAA.

LW does this because it either missed some part of the file, so it has to go back and try to dwl the rest. Or part of the file is corrupt, and it is trying again to dwl that part.
