corrupt files
 
I've downloaded like 5 or 6 versions of the same song and I always get a "detected corruption" message. This has happened with 4 different songs that I've tried to download. Why are the files on there if they are corrupted. What happens if we continue to download the file? Will the song be messed up?

To my knowledge there's 2 reasons a file may show up as being corrupted. One is that some info packets were lost during the transfer. In which case LW will attempt to redwnld any missing bits at the end of the dwnld. Reason two is that the file(s) were already corrupt at their source. It seems T3 sources are the most common to receive corrupt files from. Try to dwnld from alternative sources.
