Lord of the Rings has a distinguished reputation

I believe LW will be adding a similar blocklist as BearShare had. So within the newer versions many of those spambots will be blocked with any luck. At least that is my understanding of the concept. To answer your question, there's a lot out there, plus they may well change ip. They are well organised & sponsored groups who do the spamming. To get an idea of who, see Recognising fake files
