Unhappy Foreign Search Results

Hi,

I have limewire pro 4.10.9 here in the UK, i'm just a bit concerned about the ammount of foreign (especially french) files i keep finding lately. Not everything is foreign, but it's far more noticable than ever.
The problem is when i download a movie i'm often getting the french version or german for example. Not everytime but quite a lot.
With my searches aswell i keep getting a lot of results being foreign, for example - st*dio54-FR.avi or Bl*de2-FR.mpeg.

I have never had these results pop up much before but over the last month i have found they have become more and more poular.

any reason or ideas why i am getting these foreign results and any ideas how to maybe combat this?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

Well at least they label the titles as to what language they're in. That's a good thing! Yes in my part of the world, I often find Chinese or Japanese language versions.

What you could try doing is filtering them out if it is of great concern to you. eg: add FR.avi & FR.mpeg to your keyword filters. How to use the Keyword Filter
