Search Problems - lots of spam & no large files/movies
 
Hi When I search LimeWire all searches come back mixed up eg: put in one two three and it comes back two three one for eg.also nothing over 20MB no movies.and a lot of spam. I have used LimeWire for over three years and never had this happen before it's been going on now for 4months. I was with Basic went Pro had this trouble uninstalled Pro went back to basic 5.5.9 so now also out of pocket.can anyone help.

Are there file extensions that continually show up? Some extensions such as .wma, .mov, .au, .zip, .exe, .rar often contain spam or are infected.

Check out this thread for info: How to find music/videos
There's a section there about using the keyword filter, with lots of info aobut which words & file extensions to filter for best results (ie weed out the fakes, spam & porn);)

You can find a file extension filter within tools > options > search > filter file extensions.
And keyword filter within tools > options > search > keyword filter. After adding words/extensions to the filter(s), click ok on the filter page & then ok again on the main options page.

And if you still keep seeing crap, try changing ultrapeers (hosts that you connect to in order to search).
In LW tools > advanced tools. In the Host column, you'll see UPs that you're connected to. Check in the Time column & see which ultrapeer has been connected for the longest time.
Right click on that host > Remove. That ultrapeer will be replaced by another. Now start a new search for your file.
If you don't see any improvement in results, remove the next ultrapeer. And so on...

See whether that helps at all :)
