so thats how the little *******s operate, personally i think they should have their ip address published so we can all send them so much crap that they collape under its weight.
as always govt. regs and laws are way behind when it comes to p2p, if it affected them just see how quick they would act.

cheers matt.

thei songs will start skippin sometimes. i hate that soooooo much. it really annoys me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!1

Have you checked the songs with more than one player? VLC - (click on link) even though is primarily a video play will play all audio files you find on gnutella network. If VLC cannot play the file you know the file is bad. If the skipping also occurs with VLC then you know the file is bad.

oh ok, I didn't see those , thanks
I also have vista

Forgot to mention, if using Vista, need to set your LW to run as Administrator. Otherwise permissions for save folders get mucked up.

ok thanks

I'd highly recommend going back to LW 4.16 if you do decide to downgrade. I use LW 4.16 myself. Birdy & I both did experiments with downgrading from LW 5 & LW 4.16 was far better than LW 4.18.8. However there is a small trick with it; see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...link-here.html, or for Windows, see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/340213-post427.html

I too Have Vista on My Notbook but I never saw any corrupt DL issue's, But then again I turned off that security service I think it's called UAD or UAC or something like that. Anyway I also recall back in the day I had a corrupt DL issue & I ended up looking in the event log only to see a whole lot of bad block alert/errors (Bad C:\drive) anyway not to tell You guys stuff You already know, but You might check Your drives integrity with a tool like HD Tune

thanks LOTR, gone from 5 back to 4.16. lets see if that fixes the problem.

cheers matt

well at least i now know that the problem is with the entire LW program and not just LW 5.
4.16 is just as crappy, doesn't matter what you search for the same 5 things come up every time.
tried to paste it here so you can see my problem but it wont let me.
starting to think that i should just give LW a big miss from now on, but i find FW even worse.
