NEVER DOWNLOAD THOSE!

Those are Worm Viruses usually in .zip files or .exe. Anyway, when downloading files in LimeWire, whether they're movies, songs, programs, always look at the file size and see if it makes sense. For example, a 30 min episode of uhh the Simpsons should be from 160 - 250 MB.

Nope, if so, everyone would be doing it.
