Hi Guys
I use Limewire occassionaly to get Jpegs and the odd music track I can't find.
But there is a very annoying facet of Limewire that has been happening for a few years now. I am using Limewire Pro 4.9
If you search for a file (mainly Jpegs) it may come up with the file if it can find it, but it also often comes up with some fake files. These are very small and have the same name as you searched for and it "finds" about 50 of them. They are a Jpeg offering something to do with IPODS.
This is obviously being done automatically, but it is very annoying and uses up search time and bandwidth.
Does anyone knwo if Limewire have fixed this or do they know about it or is there a workaround. Or can't they ban the user who spreads these files ?
Regards
