The music video May not be a fake, but I almost guarantee you that the Game is a Fake. If you want to follow my advice here, I may be able to save you some grief. There are Bad file extensions that are nothing but Fakes, Viruii, worms, and a number of other things that can cause problems. It is not advisible to download Programs or Games from P2P.

To Filter these Bad extensions, go to Tools > Options > Filters > Keywords. Now add the following extensions including the dot. .exe, .rar, .wma, .zip, .mov. Click Apply and OK. This will also clean up a Ton of Junk while searching. If you decide you Don't want to block a certain extension then go back and Unblock it. Try this, I think you'll like it.

I would delete the Game and start over with the music video. AVI Files are probably the safest Video files. MPG, and MP4 May be OK but I would SCAN EVERY File with your AV before Opening. Hope this helps.

Question

I appreciate you advice and I did go in and exclude those extensions. However, that does not solve the problem of the partial downloads. They are still there in the incomplete folder. I started the video over, and now it is showing at twice its file size! I had 2 other partial videos as well and they are showing twice the file size too. What does that mean? Will I be able to burn them? I noticed that this problem occurred shortly after updating my limewire to 4.14. Is this a bug of some kind? Should I re-install the old version? Thanks for your help.
