if theres no center server then what is goin to keep up with the criterias of the junk filters? The program it self? couldnt their possibly be a hack made for that?

A good way to keep up with checksums would be to make a file attached with the download that only limewire reads with a checksums everytime its searched if this checksums = the checksum of a virus mark as junk or completely stop shareing

If limewire checks the checksum and it doesnt add up dont allow it to share ( to prevent people from tampering with it)

I anit saying someone would have to keep up with all the checksums of the files loaded just the checksums of viruses (this would reduce work load)

But still yes their would probally be ways to hack this but THERE IS A WAY TO "HACK" (get around) any kind of security measure we can take espically if its programed into the program itself.

O ya what keeps up with what files are junk the individual programs on every computer or a server?

If kept on a server then the checksum thing would be more feasible because limewire is also haveing problems with bungholes marking LEGIT perfectly good files as junk so if this was controlled by a central server monitoring the files for viruses or empty files Screw wrong named fie thats what bitiz ticket is for if you don't use it before u download something your bound to run into trouble sooner or later?

What would stop these bungholes from MASS JUNKING perfectly good files? Wait maybe not mass junking but AUTO JUNKING good filesif theres no center server then what is goin to keep up with the criterias of the junk filters? The program it self? couldnt their possibly be a hack made for that?

*edit*

O ya what what would reasons you could type in this box?

Virus: Will not work program doesnt have virus scan to scan all the files
Size: A lot of files have the sames size but arent all junk
Program not working right: How would filter be able to determine this?
wrong name: filter cant detect this
name: some files have same names but are the real deal

If there are anymore pretty sure filter wouldnt be able to real determine if the file is the real thing or not

About the only way i can see that a filter would be able to determine if something is the real thing is through a checksum seeing as how that is what a checksum is for since a computer doesnt know what the file is suppose to do it just understands what the file is telling it to do and doesnt think like humans do

Another thing about this on top of auto junking IF this reason based filter could work think how much of a battle it would become to fight autojunking we have enough problems dealing with it already!
