Thanks, I'll look into that. But, surely not every single file that the search results pulled up is fake? Or is that a possibility? Because, believe me, I've had my share of corrupt files, and files that won't connect and download, but I've never seen all the files in a single search be fake!! Especially when there are so many search results, and some of the hosts, are familiar to me, one's that I look for in my searches, for example "axxo", they always have great quality files, but even their file for this particular movie won't download!! Well, thanks for your help and if you figure anything else out please let me know. But I will be sure to look into that! Much appreciated!!

The spammers KNOW what search queries are popular, and they are starting to put these key words in their junk files. Pay very close attention to the file names...the host files you mentioned are always named a particular way. I would recommend you use Bitzi, so you can see if the file is worth downloading in the first place.

How to use Bitzi

Hope this helps
