Try changing up your searches. Instead of searching for the full title just search for one or two words from the title and add the last name of the artist. A lot of it is just trial and error. There's no sure way of knowing if a file is fake or not. Just keep searching and change the keywords in your search. Fake files can be a real problem. Try searching at different times of the day, new hosts are always logging on and off so what you can't find now you may find later.

Yes, I know exactly w hat you're talking about... it says it has an x ammount of peers on the network and all you get is a 'connecting..." when trying to download and will not continue from 'connecting...'

Firewall's off obviously, on mine, my settings are okay, is there a limit on how many fileshares can be on one link?

Seriously, I do wonder what is going on there with that.

Anyone know?

I knowk they're not fake as they are normal files. They are connected to hosts I can browse their files.
