| 279180 | 2004-10-08 04:16:00 | New to this. Downloaded two mp3's. One has sound and it is fine, the other doesn't have sound. Tried downloading again but the same things happens. All mps's have the same file type. Any help will be appreciated. Operating Win 98 SE | summertime (2568) | ||

| 279182 | 2004-10-08 04:42:00 | Some of the files are what is known as "seeded" this means that they are deliberately put up faulty to discourage people from downloading files in general. Sometimes they work for a way through then cut out, others have loud noises on them and noise in general. Remember it is illegal to d/l music not paid for. The seeding was part of the RIAA campaign trying to discourage this practise. |

| 279183 | 2004-10-08 09:24:00 | Interesting. Winmx is supposed to have "complete hashing" (whatever that is) to prevent fake/malicious files. Zqwerty is correct. There are many fake and corrupted songs on the peer to peer networks, deliberately placed there by recording companies to discourage downloading. You pays your money, and takes your chances. Try again from another source. Songs which have a lot of users are the most likely to be corrupted so avoid choosing those. |
