nope, moving folder did absolutely nothing.. had it in a folder in "My documents"... moved it to C:\My Shared Folder, still did it.

Now, here's an interesting development. When I'm done downloading thse files, I can right click, click "Explore", and that should bring me to the folder. Instead, when I click it, apparently the fil "Doesn't Exist."

However, I can manually navigate to that folder and see the file... O_o

:confused:

Have you tried to check those files with G-spot??
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/gspot252dl.html
That should tell you a lot about what kind of files it is, what codecs it used for video and audio, etc.

Invalid, according to Gspot...

This is really weird...

EDIT: They're registerd as WMP and VLC playable (shown by the icons), so perhaps it's something with the information? Something my side that's actually corrupting the data getting through?

Well, to find out whether it is your system, download a magnet link video and try to play this.
http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml
Click on the link and at the website choose the first video and LW should take over the download.

As for the icons, they are shown according to the file extentions and not to a realy analysis of the file. You could change the file extenion to .rar and then the file icon will be displayed as a rar file.

Nope, that downloaded fine, played fine, too.


But like I said, it's most things, not all...:(

So, there is no question, it is the file(s) that you chose to download and not the player or your system.
In the future, search under All Types, look the file up with Bitzi and then choose the files with a low amount of hosts.
How to use Bitzi
That's all you can do......

BTW, been watching The Scene in between posts...


good stuff... =P

Dragamex August 12th, 2006 03:29 AM

One step ahead of ya man.

Some of the files I've downloaded I've triple-checked to Bitzi.

And they have reviews.

So, it's not just my poor judgement in videos... xD

Last resort, try to convert the files you think are okay and should play (i.e. those which had good reviews). You can use this free video converter. It's the best I've ever come across so far:
