Yes. As you say with some downloads hitting play is the best way to preview what you have, but it will not show you all you have downloaded, to get this, go into your shared folder, and open the .dat file with windows media player (if you leave only the one download un-paused then arrange your shared folder by date it should be the first file). Like others have said kazaa downloads later-on parts of the file before all of the earlier ones are finished to improve time slightly, but you will still have more than pressing play. (if you get any errors opening then copy the dat file to another directory and try again). However this will only work on (most) .mpg-type files, and not (most) .avi ones. This is becuase avi is compressed more. (This is why you cannot preview your 'big' files, if they were mpg then they would be 'huge' ones!!). To preview these you can use avi-preview. I think you can get this off kazaa itself, but i recomend you get the latest 'Kazaa Lite K++' as this has no adware (ever noticed annoying pop-ups when your browser isn't even open? use an ad-aware type program to get rid of those) and also comes with handy add-ons like an automatic 'search more' and a download accelerator, and guess what? Avi-preview!! To get the latest kazaa lite just search for "Kazaa lite" (with the "s) on google and it will be the top option, or you could just press i'm feeling lucky... i guess it depends how lucky you're feeling eh? :P well that killed some time, lets see if my download's finished!! :P
