    I'm downloading something and my DL speed is ~1453kb/sec (using wireless here). Never seen that speed before. Is this something to be worried about? Seems like the uploader(s) are fairly eager to dump files on people ASAP.

    is it copyrighted material? If so that plus high upload speed would make me wary

    upload is ~230kb/second.

    I'm cutting the file -- I don't know what's going on here.

    Yup, it most likely what I like to called a "Dummy file". I bet it has like 345,999 seeders etc: lol

    It's from the companies. Check your folder too.

    I mostly see these kind of files on LimeWire with music files.
