I'm using Overnet to d/l. When i try to preview with VLC i get clips of previously d/led files. Which is v confusing.

Come on Mus, you know they are doing it all wrong :D

All you need to do is drag and drop the folder you are wanting to check on to the vlc.exe :)

so lets say you wanna preview hulk, you are taking the folder named hulk from the overnet's temp folder and drag and droping it in the videolan and what you see is preview of other files??

Yes you got it e.g. downloading latest west wing on preview shows old sopranos. When d/l complete all ok

SO just to clarify while you are downloading West Wing you go to Overnet Lite/Temp and drag the West Wing folder on to vlc.exe and it plays something different to West Wing???

does it play the same wrong one every time or random??

so for example when you go to preview west wing does it show you hulk every time you try to preview west wing or do you get a different one every time you try to preview west wing??

Ok back on topic - yes it plays the same wrong one every time but each part may not be of the same file. preview west wing- part 1 will be hulk and part 2 will be angel but each part will always play the same clip - this is from the same download in overnet. Also some of the files it's previewing have been deleted.

Hope this makes sense. Thx for help it's appriciated

Try going in to settings/preferences/playlist and make sure the boxes are unchecked (not sure if this will do anything but only thought I have had so far).
