How to play DIV# files, divX wont do it,only avi preview does, read this please!

Okay, i was downloading a .avi file which played fine in divx when i wasn't downloading the file, but i wanted to watch the video one time while it was still downloading so i opened kazaa's .AVI previewer and i loaded the movie and played it while it was downloading, then for some reason the file has a codec of DIV3 and divx wont play it anymore! so when i played it in avi preview it played 23minutes of the movie, and now when i download say like 20-50mb more and play it in avi preview it still plays the 23minutes, doesn't play anymore that i downloaded, so is there a codec i can download to make divx to play this div3 file, or whats going on with this? hope someone can help thanks

Sorry, as far as I know both DivX & XviD started together at beginning then after DivX 3.11 they splited. DivX went commercial & XviD stayed open source. Until entire movie is downloaded, so it can be played by regular media players. AVI Preview may let you play the movie while you are downloading, but there may be limits as to what AVI Preview can do!
