To
preview a file, wait until you have downloaded at least a few MB of the file.
Then pause the download. Open your partial downloaded movie with VideoLAN or AVI
Preview.
You don't
have the Codec you need to play that type of video. There is a codec for each
different system of encoding sound or video files.

When I
preview an audio/video file, it contains some parts of other audio/video files
that I have downloaded, but the file is correct when completed downloading
When you
delete a file, only the pointer (in the file allocation table or FAT) to that
file is removed to make the space the file used become free. The actual data
stays on your disk until it is overwritten by another file.
When
Kazaa creates a .dat file (partial download), it claims a bit of free space on
your harddrive for this file. The data will be downloaded into that claimed
space, overwriting the old data. When you preview your partial download, it thus
can contain some old data from another file (which was not yet overwritten,
because your download is not complete yet).
