Default Small size files

Hi
When i go to search for files, lots of files come flooding back which are usually 197.7 kb or 851.7 kb when they should be bigger.
Why are there no files the correct size?

Thanks
Ryan

Most probable Trojans/Adware/Spyware/Viruses.

Avoid downloading suspisious small files.

Yeh they are, iv checked the smaller files but is there a way to block these files and allow the actual file im looking for to come up or would it if the smaller files are there or not.

Can the limewire developers get rid of these files from the P2P network?

Thanks

No they cannot. Way too time consuming.

ryan_u89,
You can use the junk filter for file sizes that you know are dodgy
This thread has info on junk filter, bogus files & virus probs:

LW can't control, in any way, what people are sharing - good or bad.
