The Bearshare forums are not the Limewire forums...

Anyway, if you look around the forums, you'll quickly notice that files of that size are to be avoided. If you've downloaded such files then it would be a good idea to scan your computer for malware.
You can also add into your list of things to beware the T3 or higher sources: these are the ones that most often host these kind of files (or worse) so it's better to think twice before dlding from a T3 source.

As a side note, an acceptable quality video file of a full movie has an average file size of 700MBs, a 3 min .mp3 would be around 3-4MB and, while programs vary in size, they should be larger than a few MBs.
Taking this into account, there is no way that you could find a video/audio file that would be less than 500KB (unless of course it's the in the crappiest quality possible and it's like a video-audio of a couple of secs.).
