This is a kind of fake file that's been showing up lately. Just kill the download! Try to download a file with less than 10 sources (still with 4 or 3 stars), & maybe cable/dsl or modem. This seems to happen most often with new releases & really popular files. Just search again. Vary your search terms & look for artist/actor or album title, rather than song/video title. Try the All Types search, that can yield different results. If you're looking for a video file, use Bitzi (music files don't tend to be rated as often as video files).
How to use Bitzi

It's a big PITA but all you can really do is be patient & keep searching until a good source comes along
