Your opinion but this issue has been discussed many times on the forum. It does appear the RIAA/Music Industry are loading T3 connections with corrupt files. And some who downld them don't check their files for some time so don't realise they have them sitting in a shared folder.

My suggestion is to avoid T3 sources for music! Else take the time to check the file size versus the bit-rate (quality.) eg: If you see a file that's 5 MB & encoded at 160 kbps, & you see another at 5 MB but at 320 kbps, then you know one of them is corrupt. More than likely the latter will come from a T3 source. And vice versa if you see 2 files at 192 kbps & they are particularly different in size then one of them might be corrupt.

Not all T3 sources are bad! A good way to check is to launch the downld as it's in process. If you can't play it properly then be suspicious of it!
