Welcome BGross

What you see is not always what you get, and actually you may get more than you bargained for.

What I mean is this. The Gnutella Network is Loaded with Fake, and Corrupt Files. Unless you take some precautions, you will definitely receive fake results or become Infected.
When searching for Video Files you should Always use Bitzi as a precaution.
Instructions below with a few other helpfull Links. Hope this Helps.

After you have completed your search, Right click on the file that you're interested in. Now go to Advanced > Lookup File With Bitzi. Left click on that and a new browser window will open which is Bitzi. Now you will see how other members have rated this file. If you see something like "Bitprint not found" then Leave it alone. Its probably a Fake or Corrupt File. If it has been Rated then you can read what or how the members feel about the file.

Make sure You Scan EVERY File with your AV Program Before Opening.

* WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of ! *

Movie download issues (click on blue link).
