OK,

I am legally downloading a non-copyright song using Kazaa, the song is long, very large, and takes a while to download,

I have tried to preview the download several times, but each time, the load-to-preview feature only goes in a couple minutes and, even though I have downloaded 90% of the song, I can only listen to 3% of it,

what causes this, and how can I preview more?
