Hello!

This is called Spoofing the network!

It is not the Porn industry that is to be blaimed for this but the RIAA and MPAA.

I think that they are using a specialized client developed by the Rangers based on the old Macintosh Gnutella client Furi.

This is how they do it:

Whenever you do a search a Query message is broadcasted trough your segment of the network(Horizon).Whenever that Query is intercepted by one of the Evil Eve nodes set out by the RIAA and MPAA it takes the Query and pharses the name and generates Query Hit messages(usually 3 or 4 with different extensions added to them) that matched your Query exactly but with for instance !!! added to the file name.These files are nothing but crap files that will take you to Porn sites but these Porn sites are innocent(bealieve it or not).It is just a smart approach by the RIAA and MPAA industry to make us think that they (The Porn industry)are to be blaimed for this since they are already known to have bad moral so that we will all blaim them for this crap.

The reason for them to do this is to clog up the network with crap(Spoof) files.But they cannot do it alone so they need help from unknowledgable users that do download these files and then just keep them in their Shared Directory without deleting them so that their files gets replicated to a great numbers and eventually will become dominating on Gnutella.But fortunatelly it seems that they are failing to attack Gnutella because the Client developers are working to solve these problems and also they will not fool the more Knowledgable users that do care what they share and delete bad files from their Shared Directory.But it seems that they might become successfull with Fast Track and Kazaa.
