I avoid downloading wmvs under 1 meg (or any wmvs for that matter, yuk) or jpegs that show dozens of sources, a T1 speed, and whose name contains all and only the words in my search query.

Despite this, I still occasionally get one of those ipod spams, as a jpeg that had not matched any of the warning criteria above -- it may well have shown only one modem source and been named with a query term missing and a word not in my query.

These can't be spoofed search results, but they are not legitimate either. So how can a legitimate search result not result in getting the intended file when downloading? Is it possible for a spammer to insert their garbage into a download without having generated the search result you used to start that download? How can they be stopped? I'm getting sick of this crap!
