Default Isolating those nasty T3's

I was never saying they're all bad! Just that there's a no. out there that are deliberately targeting the most popular music files. They can be recognised via the file size versus the bit-rate. It takes some concentration & observance. So who would want to put corrupt files up to kill the enthusiasm of downlders. Let's guess.
But I agree, T3's are not all bad & this attention seems to only be needed to apply to music. And you'll find some damned good healthy music comes from T3 sources.
I agree 1 hunnerd percent. Unfortunately, since they took away the arrow allowing us to look at individual files w/in grouped search results, it's awfully hard to isolate the good'ns from the T3 baddies. [At least in my Limewire 4.0.10--I'm on Mac Classic so I can't go any higher--yeah I know, upgrade already, I will, I will]

I've seen some posts from you and others re the loss of this feature, and how the installer asks you about grouping but Options offer no adjustment. Anybody have any tips on how to isolate modem/cable/dsl files when they're grouped w/ corrupt T3's? Do I have to reinstall Limewire and opt out of grouping altogether? That'd suk, as grouping is great in most situations.

P.S. - Just wondering: everybody seems to be blaming RIAA for the corrupt mp3's. Is this an assumption or has somebody actually read this somewhere? My first thought was that record labels themselves must be the corrupt-file flooders, judging by which songs get flooded. Also it's not limited to USA domestic songs--I had the same problem w/ a French song that was big in Europe, not USA. Also I dunno a whole lot about the record biz but I assume the big labels have much more resources, and can move faster, than the RIAA. Kinda like the difference between the Bush admin. and the U.N.
