Default Downloaded file corruption... over and over

As a huge Depeche Mode fan, I've tried many times (6-7 I believe) and from different sources (all being "T3 or higher") to get Precious, but download always ends with the message: "File corruption detected, continue (y/n)" etc., and the mp3 is indeed corrupted.

I can get other mp3s without problems.

What can be done? Am I missing something?

Downloading popular files from T3 sourses is a risky business. I suggest you try for a Modem or Cable source, and try to find files with different bitrates from the corrupt ones or with possibly a couple of seconds difference in time. This will help ensure you do not get the same files again.

The download will take longer but you have more chance of getting a good file.

BTW it is actually against forum rules to mention the names of items you are trying to obtain so in future it is best to keep names out of it

Thank you Only A Hobo!

Ok, for the future, I will not mention any names - we are here at LimeWire to search for potatoes
