Talking about that, i think LimeWire really needs a List blacklisted Ip's, but for the moment, i have a list i would like to post a list of more fake/bad results filenames (or fragments for filtering)
-Prank
-Wicked remix
-Rare Recording
-Track
-Eighties classic
-Totally Hip track
-Top of charts
For now, this is my suggestion, add this to the LimeWire filtering lists, and u won't get any fake files.
Good luck filtering results

The vast majority of the fake files I encounter fit the basic "artist - title" format, and contain little else in the header. So such filtering is ineffective (that word again), and a mere work-around anyway. Filtering based on keywords, just like SPAM filtering, is an exercise akin to chasing one's tail.

Thanks anyway.

Seriously, i know that, but is a basic stuff, so in time you grab x-pierience and you learn to filter what you download, anyway, i posted that because those kinda results always are with so much sources, and are in the first places of the results, so they are annoying....

That's what i have to say
Ciao!

-Prank Hmm. dunno
-Wicked remix Not a chance
-Rare Recording Even less chance
-Track Never
-Eighties classic Even more never
-Totally Hip track Totally could be added
-Top of charts No go

I'm not trying to be rude here, but you have totally misunderstood how the keyword filter works. Every single word will be filtered by itself, even if it's a part of a word.

@ blondeMatrix

I'll get back to you later. You got some more interesting ideas. About the blocklist though I can tell you that AaronWalkhouse is allready taking care of that, but maybe he wants help.

Also many of the workarounds that you mentioned are not in my guide and will not be added. I download from T1 and T3 all the time. Im a T1 myself. Also I would rather add _ to the Keyword filter than use it in a search. Also downloading only files that have 10 or less hosts, since when should that help. That's advise for newbies and only works sometimes.

Seriously take a good look at the guide and ignore the other advise. I BTW don't use the (in my mind) flawed junkfilter either.

In the meantime you could maybe have a look at the Limewire Beta forums. It would help you get a better idea of what is a work in progress and what is overlooked.

Oh almost forgot. Until that blocklist is a part of Limewire/Frostwire there's always PeerGuardian. Not as good a solution but helps a bit.

BTW Limewire and Frostwire were working closely last time I checked, which isn't recently but I think they still are. Haven't heard otherwise

(edit: Mistook this for a thread in the Frostwire section for some strange reason)

I like suggestions, and have nothing against you posting them. Suggestions can be declined or proved wrong though. There is no way that I put any of those words in the keyword thread except totally, after I checked it out that is. The "How to find music" thread is for general searching, and not for one specific taste.

I said that I was not trying to be rude. Well I have tough skin, so I can take being told to go to Hell once. Not really sure though, if people who can't take some constructive criticism should be suggesting things, just in case they are wrong :wink:

Also don't know if replying in same manner again will get you very far.

I believe one is already being trialled in the LW beta 4.13 http://www.limewire.org/forum/showth...light=black%2A I'm not sure how it works & gets added to.

It is a serious issue & follow Sleepless's suggestion to note this in the LW request section. The only other tips I can think of are listed here Fake files in search results
