Ok, I get it about the t3s, but I only get t3 results. No cable, no modem, no t1 results. If I don't go or the t3s I have nothing. How do I get rid of the t3 results and get everyone else?

Following the thread about the increase in corrupt files, it appears the consensus is that it's either a T3 or higher conspiracy (so just avoid T3 or higher) or bad programming that is now fixed in Limewire beta 4.1.7 (posted on 10/28 by Curiosity). But supervisor LordOfRings posted even after Curiosity's post, and he did not verify whether beta 4.1.7 really is the fix (instead directing us to bitzi.com, which is very rich in content but I couldn't easily find the answer there either). So is there a clear answer or not? I've had a large increase in corrupt files (for example, almost every one from Green Day's American Idiot and Brian Wilson's Smile) at a variety of speeds, not just T3 but T1 and Cable/DSL too. And if Curiosity is accurate about 4.1.7 being the fix, where can one download it? The Limewire home page currently shows 4.0.8 as the latest version and doesn't seem to offer this later beta.

Try to stay away from dwnlding from T3 sources. Most corrupt files seem to originated from those sources! Also before choosing to dwnld, make a note of the file's bitrate & size. I've noticed that sometimes the T3 mp3's will show different bitrates but same size which doesn't make sense! The larger the bitrate, the larger the file should be. But you'll have greater chances of not getting corrupt files if you choose modem, cable/dsl, or T1. Sure modem are a bit slower but there's many more of them & they're reliable files in general.

Hey, Lord Of Rings, thanks for replying to me (I'm assuming it was meant for me 'cause you replied just 8 minutes after I posted). I will avoid T3s if that's really the answer, check bitrates, try Modem, etc. but you didn't yet comment on Curiosity's assertion that Limewire beta 4.1.7 eliminates the problem. If not, then I guess he was off-base and we're stuck just trying your above suggestions. If he was accurate, please respond as to where 4.1.7 can be found and downloaded. Thanks again!

LW 4.1.7 has been replaced by 4.1.8 just a few days ago & can be found with links from here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1
Pro users can dwnld it from their personal dwnld page (at bottom of page).
I'm not sure about the beta being able to fix the problem. Perhaps they can I'm not sure about that. The beta page or history page of beta releases will probably say something about this.

I am having the same problem as everyone else about the downloading of files. Every time a DL a file it is corrupt. WTF. I really like LW, it helped me find a song that is so old my great grandmother listened to it. I am a student at a Tech school and we use and internet connection speed that makes T3 look like a turtle (it is second in the nation in connection speed, and only slower then the national defense connection speed) All my files I share are complete and none of them are corrupt. I don't think that it is the T3 connection, I believe that it is the interface btw the speed of the connection and the program LW (a bug within LW) Please fix this ASAP. thanks.

Interesting thoughts. Let's just say I & most others who have observed this issue would greatly disagree. I have taken request from a pm to research this issue & found that indeed, the problem was with T3; see: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28801 Look around this forum & search for the word corrupt. Everything points to T3. You're lucky to have such a good connection.

Why is it that every single song I download (about 100 so far) does NOT work? They are all corrupt. How do I UNCORRUPT them before I blow it up? This is something I paid for to use and I can't use it. Pretty aggravating. Please help me.

Maybe it's just THOSE FILES. Have you tried searching for it, and start downloading it from a different spot?

You'd download that one because it's the same exact thing, just by a different user. It could just be the supplier's fault, not yours.

It might not be Limewire. You could have adware from other websites that you've been to. Try downloading Ad-Aware.

I love my Andy-Bear.
Going on 7 months!

Why can't I find a phone number to call and complain? For example, I have downloaded every single song from one singer and NONE OF THEM WORKED.
