Songs being downloaded only playing first few seconds....
 
HI Everyone,

Please help if you can. All day today and a few days ago any song I have been trying to download have appeared to download successfully, but when I play them, either directly off of limewire or using a media player, all the recently downloaded songs only play the first 8 seconds of the song over & over for the length of the song. Its not just a few songs, its any song I try to download. All of my old songs are totally fine, its just the recent ones. ..... ?????

I don't know what the problem is. I've rebooted and everything.

Thanks for your help.

Thread merged.

I am having this problem as well.....are you still having this problem?

They're probably fake files. See: Fake files showing up in search results

How to find music(and movies).

Though it could be the player/codec problem. Try using a different player. See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/tips-t...p3-fixers.html

No
 
No, that isn't it.....its with any file, any artist.
And I have tried multiple players. Its so bizarre!

I still tend to think it's fake files(there's more out there than you'd think). Just to test I d/loaded about 6 popular files last night and they all played fine. Could be your connected to some bad ultrapeers. You should try using PeerGuardian2. It works like a mini firewall that blocks ip addresses know to be unfriendly towards p2p. Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2

If your using the beta version of LW you can use Aarons Hostiles list. It also block undesirable ip's. Instructions for it in this thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...-limewire.html.

I use both and rarely run into problems with fake files.
