Hey! i've downloaded some episodes of grey's anatomy and desperate houswives without any problems, but i tried downloading XXXseason 5 and XXXseason 1, hits of 170 to 60 come out but when i click it, it opens up a window with some MTV link or something, why is this? is there a way i can filter out the "real" files from these fake links? any help or advice would be great! tnx! keep the sharing!!

yeah! the same thing happened to me. every time i search for a song or something, i double click and it leads to some random website. i thought it was just me. is it some sort of virus or something?? any help with this issue would be great.

Using the latest version of LW has fixed this for most people. You can get it here

For more info, use the search to look for redirected, artistdirect or napster

scotch7, can you edit out the titles of copyrighted shows? We're not allowed to talk about downloading specific copyrighted files... it's against the forum rules. Thanks!

hey! i got the latest version of lime wire and it pretty much eliminated the "redirecting" feature of the spam files, BUT now when i try to DL vids abc season sss it is says connecting then after awhile need more sources. how can i filter out files that actually exists from the ones that don't? any advice on this will really help! tnx alot!

Look up videos before downloading with Bitzi, if the file's been rated you'll get an idea of it's content & quality

It's a pain with so much spam around, stay away from files with huge numbers of sources, go for something with 10 sources or less

Wonderfull! thanks for all the help!

Hi. This is the first time this happened to me. I selected a video file which I never selected before but a window opens up and says "Error" and "You are already downloading this file..." and yet said file doesn't appear on my download status window, incomplete folder, nor anywhere on my computer. Would appreciate any help.

P.S. I'm a Mac OSX user...in case this has anything to do with the problem.
