You mean you use OSX & don't know how to find the preferences. The preferences for almost all programs are found in the same location. Under the word Limewire in the far left of the menu bar (next to the apple logo.) Short-cut is command & comma.

It sounds to me like you were just unlucky with the file you got. Was it an avi/mpg/mpeg file? Stay away from wmv files.

Vendor = program make. Limewire is a vendor. Raza (Shareaza) is another, etc. To ban a vendor, you need to manually add it to one of the pref files I think ... I'm not clear on how to do it. You can ban hosts by control-clicking the host in the search results. You can ban them all if you like. Ban as many hosts as you can. lol Just because some people share porn doesn't mean all their files are porn & may do it to help getting good contacts/connections. Some people who share porn have some of the hardest to get audio & video files. Also, a host like shareaza who are often difficult to connect to or get reliable speeds from, etc. use more than one network & often have very good video material. As for others, there's some I don't know too much about.
