3W and Domplayer fakes
 
Hi all,
I am new to the forum although an avid user of the network for a couple of years . My only problem I have encountered is these fake players, The problem is increasing with these fakes, can or is anyone doing anything about them at the network level. It is really getting to be fustrating when 4 out of 5 links are infected with this %&*(..
Some people are paying for this network ie,limewire pro etc.
should'nt those customers be protected from what can be described as adware.
any feedback on how to deal with this would be appreciated.

This my first post sorry about the negativity otherwise the network is great and hats off to the creators...

Before downloading any big video file (or any software at all), right-click the item in the search
results and select the Bitzi report option. In LimeWire, that's in a submenu called Advanced.
Most of the bad stuff on P2P has been catalogued on Bitzi and virtually all of the good files.

Those fake files don't bother me, I have a delete button. Use it every time. What is bothersome is those who keep those files in their systems! Waste of space and others time when their hassled with them. If all would just delete them right away, this problem wouldn't be as bad. I find most hosts with these files in their possession usually have more than one. With experience you learn to recognize these based on file size, the date, etc. If you get or have a file with unknown bitprint, help out, bitcollider it, and report on it (accurately). And if its bad, Delete it!

More often that not, those with multiple copies are themselves the spammers. Check out the links at the top of this link Beware of Fake files in search results for which types of organisations are responsible for this spamming. They are sponsored to do so. :) They run large networks of computers for producing & spreading of the spam. Spam comes in different forms, viruses, fake or corrupt files, porn spam. And also those those give results in searches but are non downloadable. ;) The latter ones tend to slow p2p programs down because they keep trying to download them periodically. So best to delete them off the download list as soon as possible. :)

BTW would you vote for a politician who supports this behaviour? The illegal spreading of viruses? It's illegal in most countries including the USA. But some politicians actually secretly support it & are sponsored by such organisations mentioned. The breaking of National & international laws do not seem to matter to some politicians.

Fake Players Torrentmovie-help Video Player
 
Does anyone know of a video player/codec that will play movies sealed by torrentmovie-help? The video player they recommend is loaded with sypware. I want to know one that does not have spyware. Please post replies.

Don't bother. They are all fake or different movies than the filename indicates.
The scammers don't care about quality and only want people to install their trojans.

Thank you for replying. That is what I thought and I needed t be sure. I appreciate your reply.
