Yep, they are probably all fakes. Have a look here, there's some interesting info about fakes (don't know if you found this in your search or not).
Interesting article on MediaDefender

Vary your search terms, look for artist or album name rather than song title. Try the All Types search. Stay away from files with huge numbers of sources, go for a file with 10 sources or less. For video, always check the file with Bitzi before download

T4k73,
Nice rant. For starters you're in the Frostwire forum
Anyway, do you think LW can control what's shared on the network?

Do some research. Use the forum search. Look for fake files, spam, keyword filter, how to find music.

Good luck suing LW. What are you going to say...I'm suing LimeWire because I can't download copyrighted files??


None of us work for LW.
If you really want help with downloading, come back in the right forum & with a better attitude.

This is perfect, and it did the trick. I never even thought of that. It's been working perfectly since I tried that tip. Thanks!!
