You would be learning everything much quicker if you relied on Google as well. Like the odds of getting a proper rip at only 578MB size is slim to none. I would go as far as say anything below 686MB i.e 700 muinus 2% will be a waste of time 99.9% of the time.

I would recommend you read through this also http://www.gnutellaforums.com/limewi...ind-music.html While it says music, it's just as much a guide on how to use Limewire. Also for movies, check out the link at the very end of first post. Limewire isn't all that great for movies.

Also here is a lot more about formats, codec, players etc. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/tips-t...p3-fixers.html

Hi Sleepless,
Thanks again for your help and time. That is really helpful and I have been following your advice. You are certainly right where it comes to Limewire not being that good for movies. My Canadian friend has just spent three months out here and, having an IT son, has been able to help me a lot with the problems I was experiencing. I think he and his computer are joined at the hip as he works on opening a world wide photo library via the 'net. Between you I am feeling more confident on how to get around and find what I want. Thank you again so very much. Regards... Perre
