Now that you mention Codecs the ones I downloaded from the link here have really messed things up now! First most AVIS would not play on WMP or Shareaza's player at all so I had to remove the newly installed codecs completely and now some videos appear inverted of all things! What's the cure? Re-compile them in a another compression format? What?


And I'll take what you said under advisement but I already had the bad experience of downloading a music video clip with no sound so I rather not take any chances. It is obvious that the dowloading routines for Shareaza are a bit quirky so I rather play it as safe as possible.

EDIT: Never mind about the Codec inverted video problem I somehow was able to fix it on my own...

1) If there's a codec problem, then it's most likely you screwed it up. You need to uninstall all codecs first before installing new ones. That's a general wisdom.

2) Shareaza does not trick around with your videos. It's only meant to transfer universal data. If the problem would occur by the networks Shareaza use, then other programs like Morpheus or Gnucleus, would have the same problems.
Shareaza makes a new file to save the preview in, so it doesn't mess around with the real file you're downloading.
