Cool 10 000+ search results

Lately I've been having a problem where I search for files using what I suppose are popular terms (movie titles and whatnot) and get tens of thousands of results, in groups of 90-100. This would be nice, but none of the files ever actually download. When it tries to connect, eventually it returns 'Need More Sources' (and this despite the fact that it claims to already have 100).

So my question is what is causing this problem, and if there's anyway of fixing it. I'm using Pro, and this problem only popped up in the last few weeks. Any thoughts?

(I tried using the search function, but didn't find any threads that seem to cover this. If there is one, please direct me to it. Thanks.)

It's a new type of spam. Yes they're all fake results or fake files. Instead, look further down the list & choose those with 20 or 10 or less sources. Sample of spam fakes in attachment below. 2 images of same search results.

Also, keep an eye on your connections pane. Whenever I get too much spam, I remove the ultrapeers that I guess might be responsible.

This won't work all the time, but does tend to better the odds of getting good results (or at least makes me feel better )

Hmm... so there's no way to filter these results out?
