Default simple way to avoid spam

i get a lot of spam crap too, but i've figured out a very simple way to avoid most of it. i always sort out my search results by size, and usually the spam will stand out because its usually always the same file size. the legitimate files (non spam) will be varied filed sizes. i've been downloading so much stuff from LW for so long that at this point i can spot most spam pretty easily just by file size. hope this helps...
