Have you already started downloading the file and want to get it going again after a crash?

If you do recieve that, you either just keep having it find sources now till a compatible match comes along, or just keep trimming off 10k from the end of the file till it successfully matches :)

HI Pointblanke , this is normally caused by a bit of the file you have being corrupt.
What you need to do is when the file is red , right click on it and select Trim 10k from file (I usually click this twice :) ) , and then retry to download it.
Hope that helps :D
(Hmm while I was typing Red was posting :shock: Maybe I should trim him too..lol )

Actually the file never gets a chance to start downloading. It connects for literally a split second and goes to file mismatch before any data is transferred.

Can you confirm that this is happening on new files , not ones you have as incomplete, and also can you try to d/l small files 50k and normal mp3,s and see if there is any change (50k is a small text type file ).

sounds like musicmatch is interfering, or some other mp3 program.

I suspect that the cause is this also.
If you have musicmatch jukebox installed, you will want to disable the "watch folders" option.

Hmm thanks Vladd, Freeze 8) Thats a new solution to add to my knowledge base :)
I,m one of those "use Microsoft and put up with it not working" types of people, so I would never have got to the bottom of this one :)

Disabling the watch folder on musicmatch did the trick. Thanks for your help! You guys are awesome. I never would have figured that out myself. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
