ok, i hope this is in the right section....ive had limewire for a while but have just started to dowload films...i had downloaded a film one for my newphew but when i played it...
It was porn.....i was pretty shocked and wondered if there is any sort of way that you can stop this happening...THe title of the film was the one wanted but it was porn...so there was no way i could tell that thats what it was!!

Any help would be appreiceted...Thanks

Also can you just edit out the company name of the file as we are not allowed to mention them due to copyright laws....

You can also preview a part of the video as you're downlding to ensure it's not something gastly. To preview it should be at least 5% downlded.

I guess it depends on the player you use. We normally recommend VLC for video playback.
