Video description does not tally with actual downloaded video, eg. description may say that video is 2 hours long but actual video stops after say 15 minutes. Has anyone else had that problem and have you found any solution to it? This makes it difficult to find a full video. Suggestions greatly apprciated.

its probally a fake file. it can actually be 2 hours of blackness, but because the blackness isnt really data it will just not bother playing it. you can notice if a file is like this if your download speed is extreamly high, its because its not really downloading anything. i downloaded a file at 25kb solid and rising once, and im on dialup, and then i watch it and its just 2 hours of blackness.. expet it plays for like 1min, then doesnt bother palying the rest.

1. Look at the file size not how long it's suppose to be.
(movies can be anywhere from 100-150Mb up to 700-800Mb in size)

2. Use verified hashes for large files such as movies and TV shows

A few of my vids time length is wrong and they aren't fakes, however most are right times.
