cTerre is flying high
Default My friend nor myself can download

Ok, the search is fine. I search something, and over 100 hosts has each file (which is already one strange thing). Second thing, while downloading the file, the speeds are ALWAYS above 100 KB/s, sometimes reaching 200 KB/s. Third thing, when I preview the songs during download, NOTHING PLAYS. Then, once download is complete, and i open it in Winamp, it says the song lasts for 23 minutes (or more), and this is for EVERY SINGLE SONG I HAVE DOWNLOADED. Last thing, it doesn't play. The same thing occurs to my friend, and this problem just suddenly came up. Can someone help please? Thanks a lot.

You seem to be trying to download faked files; stay away from files with hundreds of hosts. Choose from files with some 10-20 hosts (though it seems that also some faked files -especially music- appear in between them).

As for your preview problem, go and check whether you have the LW player enabled (but the player will only preview music files; for videos it normally switches to your default media player).
Go LW>Tools>Options>Player

I don't think it's that. I've tried downloading a dozen of all the songs, with low hosts as well, no effect. Heres a few screenshots of my problem. Thanks for helping.

Sorry pal, no file names allowed here; also not in the screenshots.
Have you scanned the files before opening them? If all the files display with 23 something minutes, then it could be possible that there is a worm hidding somewhere.
You might want to check using:

Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE)
Other than that I'm not sure......

EDIT:
DO NOT ATTACH THE SCREENSHOTS AGAIN DISPLAYING THE FILE NAMES.........!!!

Sorry about that. Hmm... they're not ALL 23 minutes. They are all at least 19 minutes and above. Perhaps it is hidden worms. But then again, I'm also using the newest Limewire available for download, so maybe I need to do something else? I'll try scanning anyways. I'll see what happens. Thanks.
