The Junk filter is a dynamic learning filter so it takes time for it to learn what to filter out. But once calibrated, it's very, very effective!!! For a clue about which ones, see

2. autogenerated spam results

3. autogenerated mp3 spam results

4. Sponsored Results (click on link)

5. Direct instructions to eliminate porn from results & How to use the Keyword Filter

Also learn to use Bitzi to see if there's user feedback for the files you're after; How to use Bitzi Web Lookup
Well that sucks then. If I filter out what I get on my searches, I will probably only get MAYBE 50 results that will be good.

For instance, I did a search for the word, REGISTRY, because Id like to see if theres a copy of Registry Cleaner. Only 2 files that looked legit came up. Rest of my results were over 80 files that were all the same size. Either 891.7 or 197.7 which are the trojan files or spamming files that come up.

I went to DC++ which is my other p2p network I use. I typed in Registry and up came 865 results and only 80 of the files looked like bad or virus files.

I mean, damn. If this is the results that PRO gives you, Id HATE to see what the basic free copy gives you in results. Probably all but just virus files and trojans with trick names to fool people with.

No offense, but that would be false advertisement on LW's main site, stating that PRO gives you better results. It does in a way which isnt a lie, but instead gives you MORE results in VIRUS'S and crappy results. I think what people want is a search engine that gives BETTER RESULTS as in good results that they would normally find on Morpheus, DC, and Napster. Not a search that brings up over 100 files that are all KB in size and virus's.

I only like using LW better than DC because my friend said it provides better speeds and your uploading from people who have the same file or if others have the same result
file(s) you are trying to get, then the faster the upload time. On DC, you have to actually wait for that individual to free up a slot you can use and the upload speed is based on yours and his bandwidth.

Oh well, guess Ill just go back to using DC++. :-(
