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&#39;s that I&#39;m downloading <_< ). There are a few movies that I&#39;ve downloaded recently that have come out ok but the new movies are always coming out as a black screen except for the &#39;DivX&#39; symbol in the corner. Why is this? Do I just need to let them finish?

FYI A couple of the movies I&#39;ve been have troubles with are Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Scary Movie 3, are just two examples.

Yes I&#39;ve read the FAQ.

I looked for the &#39;Problems and Questions&#39; section that used to be here be I didn&#39;t see it. Feel free to move it Mods if it&#39;s in the wrong place.

Yeah move it mods :01:

We don&#39;t know tech shit in the lounge :lol: :lol:

Personally I&#39;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&#39;t use it. What are they like when you finshed the d/l? :)

If it&#39;s a black screen with the DivX logo, it&#39;s a fake file. These bastards have taken do encoding a blank file that&#39;s still about 700-1000 MB in an effort to make u download fakes and they&#39;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. &#036;2 per min


and there&#39;s a ton of different choices on Google for for sites titled &#39;mirc&#39;. Can you give me a link for it.
