Every movie that I try to download comes out as a black screen when I attempt to preview it in AVI preview(Yes, they are AVI's that I'm downloading <_< ). There are a few movies that I've downloaded recently that have come out ok but the new movies are always coming out as a black screen except for the 'DivX' symbol in the corner. Why is this? Do I just need to let them finish?
FYI A couple of the movies I've been have troubles with are Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Scary Movie 3, are just two examples.
Yes I've read the FAQ.
I looked for the 'Problems and Questions' section that used to be here be I didn't see it. Feel free to move it Mods if it's in the wrong place.

Yeah move it mods :01:
We don't know tech shit in the lounge :lol: :lol:
Personally I've had probs with that previewer, had it crash the prog or make a defect in the d/l or stop the d/l etc, so I don't use it. What are they like when you finshed the d/l? :)

If it's a black screen with the DivX logo, it's a fake file. These bastards have taken do encoding a blank file that's still about 700-1000 MB in an effort to make u download fakes and they've been doing it for a while.
My advice is that if u preview it and it does this, move on and try another file.

I second the above advice, also you shouldnt bother using kazaa for new movies, as they are likely to be fakes.
I prefer newsgroups, you get full bandwidth. alternatively you can use mirc or bittorent.

bittorent
Bittorent (http://www.bittorent.com/) is approx. $2 per min
and there's a ton of different choices on Google for for sites titled 'mirc'. Can you give me a link for it.
