The mpeg files you are downloading may be mpeg-2 as opposed to mpeg-1. If that is the case playing them with media player classic (www.gabest.org) or videolan (www.videolan.org) should work.
In some cases (well in many cases if you’re downloading from peer-to-peer networks) the file may be a renamed avi, quicktime, or windows media file. In that case use one of the tools listed on this page to find out what codec you need for your particular file. http://www.moviecodec.com/questions/neededcodec.html
