OK lets get real here.

#1 Most T3 connections are spammers but not all by a long ways.

#2 Your fastest DL will come from T3

#3 All speeds will have corrupt files

#4 Some people do lie about there connection speed I doubt if it is over 5% may be wrong there but it doesn't mater any way.

#5 If you get a connection that DL at 30kb or above from 1 host you are probably DL from a T3 connection and if you get say 8 host and DL at 60 or above 1 of them is most likely T3

#6 If you are getting allot of corrupt file messages you are probably DL software that is where you see the most spam and viruses in your search results. Now lets look at software a little common since goes a long way here I have yet to see any working software that was 851.7kb most software is at least in the MB size range. And ask yourself this if you were a hacker where would you plant a virus. How about in software and put it on a p2p network so when a person breaks the law and downloads it then installs it onto there computer they can install the virus which will open a port for them to get into your computer. Humph makes sense to me.

I do not filter any connection speeds why would I want to limit the amount of sources from which to draw from. Although I do block a limited # of host that are known to me to carry nothing but the porn that has recently come up in all search results. And yes they are T3. I normal download between 50kb and 650kb depending on the # of files I am downloading at any given moment.

A little common sense goes a long way look to see how many time a file shows up in your search if a file shows up several times there is a good chance it is a virus or spam IE same file size different variation of the name or the same name. Bitz the files before you download them. Or better yet buy the damm software then you don't have to worry about it.

I very rarely get the corrupt file message maybe 1 out of every 100 files downloaded. So I know for a fact that not every file out there is corrupt while there are allot of corrupt files a little common sense will help you to avoid them.
