This seems to be an issue with many types of files on the netwk. And it seems to take different forms as well, such as misleading file content, advertisements for various things such as websites. It's almost spam. Corrupt files being offered could probably be included in this area (whether the uploader is aware or not?!). I just want to join along & grumble about it too. This issue has been around for a few years & seems to be getting worse as more people use the network. There must be deliberate motivations from some corners at the very least. Why (for what possible dirty reason) would somebody want other people to use their bandwidth to dwnld something that's of no use to them. I amongst many others would also like to know the reasons & what can be done about it. Banding together & blocking them out of the system might be one solution to make the point. Love to have more input into this topic from anybody & all.
