nedswife is flying high
Default not many search results

Hi Again, I posted about this last week, but now cannot find where I posted it, so please forgive me for repeating myself.............

I posted about not getting very many results for my audio file searches. I've done everything that was suggested, disabling ultrapeers, etc. I seem to be getting a few more, but nothing like the results I used to get a couple of years ago.

I just did a search for "let's eat bees" by the Beebles, and I got - 6 sources. SIX!!!!! Now is that a very poor result, or am I expecting too much???
Thanks for listening

Don't you have your own thread on this topic?

Answers have been given to similar questions over past couple of weeks. Check for them. Some reasonable suggestions have been made.

I am finding in movies that more junk files than real files are listed.
I know this has been discussed so many times you must be sick of it but it seems if we turned in the IP address and you blocked them on your site at the source we would have some of way to get through the junk.
It seems the same IP address share the Viruses and then we spread them since we have all downloaded them without deleting them.
Examples of sizes 3462Kb (the tile of the movie doesn't matter)
449.3 kb 11.5 mb

Yes & learning to recognise those file sizes & the auto naming technique of the spammers helps us. I personally organise my search results by size by double-clicking the size heading. Virus thread: Typical virus spam file sizes - Make a note of them (click on blue link to see). Those that are junk I designate as junk. Sure the LW junk filter is not reliable but it does learn little by little & does help.
