Well I do not know that Idiots, Losers, Stupid, is the proper terminology to use when referring to people who spread these files other than the ones that do it intentionally then I can think of some more choice words for those individuals.

I think naive is more of an appropriate word. Most of the people that spread these DL them then open them and figure they are just a bad file. They do not even think to do a virus scan on there files before opening them. Then instead of deleting them they just leave them sitting there for others to DL at this point I would call them idiots. One problem is that people share there incomplete folder.

I believe that the Developers of LimeWire should remove this option from the software while it does help get new files out to the public faster it also helps spread viruses and spam. When it was originally developed there were not as many users and or viruses and spam on the net and was a great way to speed up the file sharing process but I believe it's time has passed and should be removed.
