Listings are full of advertising (spam)...
 
Lately Limewire search results listings are full with advertisement (spam)from a company that offers electronic equipment thus preventing the system from searching the correct music or video files.
This listings also have the problem that only one or two music files appear but they inevitably end up in a download speed which could last for weeks to comply
because they wait continouously for some free computers to download,and after a long time of skirmishes they end up waiting for sources.
What is happening to the Gnutella network?

Spam is all over the network. If the spam files have a particular word in the title (eg efreeclub), add that word to LW's keyword filter. Tools > options > filters > keywords. Then, those files won't show in search results any more:)

You've been given these links before, in your older threads, but here they are again...

How to use Bitzi Web Lookup ... (to check files before you download them)
