Spam Filter Help I am having trouble I want to download a movie but several spam results emerge.I Know the basics of spam file prevention as i have been a devout limewire user for years (but it seems the spam has increased drastically) The methods I am using are 1.Not downloading from T3 or T1 2.Filtering wmv and exe files 3.blocking spam ip adresses Now number three is the thing I need help on, It would save me days of trouble if someone could post a list of ips to block or help me find a previously compiled one. Im sorry if my post is incorrectly written this is my first post on a gnutella forums , so many pardons. |
There's been an increase in the number of fake files lately, they sit connecting & then show 'need more sources' but won't ever download. Probably more important that avoiding T1 & T3 is avoiding files with heaps of sources. Go for a file with 10 sources or less, or those with a modem source are usually ok. Now that faster internet is more affordable, more people have a T1 or T3 speed...so lots of these sources are quite ok. Not to say that you can trust every T3, but I've seen plenty of spam/fakes showing with cable/dsl sources. Always check a file with Bitzi before download. How to use Bitzi A file with lots of sources but no Bitzi rating is often a fake. Info about fake files You might also want to add mov to the keyword filter, check the thread below for more info http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ight=mov+files You can block the IPs of people hosting spam files but in a couple of days, when their IP changes & someone else takes on the original IP...you're banning the wrong person:wink: |
Well I was hopeing that it would be as simple as just blocking the spamers ips,is there a range of ips that spamers particularly use? |
