Hehe.....so its suceeding then...
One of the more recent ways that people are trying to stop other people downloading illegal music...putting massive blanks or funny sounds through mp3s....
There have been a couple of other threads on this...

i think a way to fix that is dl it off one user
that way their is less of a chance to get a blank file mixed in with a good one when you are dling

just dont use kazaa
and if the download speeds are extra fast .. consider them suspicious.
be patient with the slower users coz at least u know they're good **** .

That's what they (the RIAA) want!!
Here's a novel idea, if it's really pissing you off, you could always buy a copy of the CD!

yeah ive had a few songs with this problem, i dled the black eyed peas new song 6 times this arvo, every one had either the noise or just didnt contain any music data! first time i heard it i thought my stereo had exploded! nearly crashed off the road! i heard that it was to stop "illegal" file sharing, pretty gay, how do they expect us to get music, buy it?!? its not like they dont make enough money as it is, what does a couple of thousand dollars matter when youre selling millions of albums worldwide!!!

yeh it seems like a real pain to dl songs atm, from what i seem to be reading the RIAA have hired comp specialists to find flaws in kazaa's file downloading codes. it seems the kazaa programmers were pretty sloppy when it came to thier coding and theses RIAA employed punks have exploited the "hashing" method in kazaa's code workings... as stated above the best method is to dl off 1 person and go for a medioca speed, they seem to be the most realiable.. they say that the RIAA crackdown is likely to slow and we should be able to start having no probs with kazaa again...
hope that helps

Ok
Heres your 4 Step way of avoiding such nonsense
1. Download Kazaa Lite K++ (cant remember the URL, but just google it.
2. Turn on the "banned IP ranges" plugin
3. Update "banned IP ranges" each and every day.
4. Enjoy star wars free music
Also another idea, just use a different file sharing prog. I havent got a scrambly song for quite some time now
Matty where is the plugin for the banned ip's, I can't find it.

from the looks of it, they only went after 128kbit mp3's, so get variable bit-rate or higher-bit rate versions. or dont use kazza
