Hello. is there a way to set parental controls so the kids can use this. even with me sitting right there, whenever we type something in the first line of results is always awful and pornographic. extremely graphic words that the kids shouldnt see. i dont want to see it myself. can i filter somehow? thanks!

Which client are you using (LimeWire, Phex, BearShare, Frostwire, Shareaza etc)???

Hi,

Try this (answer is from Limewire FAQ)

Q: How can I prevent my children from seeing adult content in the search results?

A: The filter option can block access to files in a variety of ways. Go to Tools, Options, Filters, and Keywords. Here you'll be able to set limitations to the search results you receive. For example:

1. If you don't wish to see particular search results (for example, pictures of Niagara Falls), enter that data into the text field and click "Add".
2. Click on "Ignore Adult Content" to filter pornography.
3. You can use the built-in "Ignore vbs files" and "Ignore .htm/.html files" features to block Visual Basic Scripts and web pages, respectively, from your search results (please note this can also be done by searching for media types only)
4. If there are particular IP addresses you wish to ignore (if, for example, a particular IP address was sending you unsolicited results), click under Hosts where you could enter that IP address into the "Ignore these hosts" window and click "Add."
5. LimeWire can also learn which types of files are "junk" search results and which ones are valid. When a "junk" result is retrieved, select it and click the "Junk" button to mark it as junk.

You can always try a free Parental Control Filter Software (here) I don't know what this software is like as I havent used it -- google it for more info before you download it

Hope this helps
