Tekkenboy...I ran into the same problem a few days ago as well, the checked icon appeared in every search I did....I double checked with the search in itunes just to make sure that I didn't have the file already and I didn't...

In the end I avoided these files and selected another to download with success....

Why do these appear?? Not sure as yet, maybe another deterant from an outside source ie a fake....

I'm running Pro 4.14.10, so it's not version related...I'll have a look around at the org forums and see if any of the developers have commented on it, I'll post back if I find anything...

In the meantime just avoid the checked files...

Look for a hohohoho with a different filesize.

Sometimes these bad copies get spread quickly. I guess some people don't realize that the mis-named crap in their shared folder will show up in another's search results. And there are people (agencies, companies, etc.) who make money by spreading that crap, in hopes of making you frustrated and ready to bang your head against a wall.

If what you seek is something that was recorded recently, you'll likely see more fake files; epecially with movies. I find it best to wait awhile for the fake files to be deleted and info on the remaining files can be found on Bitzi. Checking files with Bitzi before downloading is a must. Info on that and other useful tips can be found in the Getting Started Using LimeWire threads.
