the spam files are so minor compared to the connection problems, which has been a much bigger issue.

Still, LW is working out the bugs with a spam filter (download the beta version to help try it out).

SPAM on gnutella is NOT is LW's interest. Interesting that you plan to pollute other sites with your brand of Spam.

However, like with the bogus files, users learn to recognize them quickly and change their habits to avoid them.

Good luck with finding a better network. You should probably try Shareaza and see if that suits you better.
