when do these come out

OK i know this thread is pretty old but the problem has only gotten worse. I started thinking of some fundamental changes to the software that could (potential) be a fix.

I use frostwire which I understand is open source. I plan on taking a look at the code this week to see how feasible this might be. Basically we need to verify our hosts before we display them in the search results. Here's what a conversation might look like now.

mycomp: Hey do you have this file "filename.ext"?
spammer: yeah i have "filename.ext"
mycomp: ok thanks, ill display it in the search results

What we need to do is verify the host is not automatically generating files before we consider them having the first file. Like this:

mycomp: Hey do you have this file "filename.ext"?
spammer: yeah i have "filename.ext"
mycomp: ok, well do you have "sdfgisdf.ext"?
spammer: yeah i have "sdfgisdf.ext"
mycomp: you must be a spammer because "sdfgisdf.ext" likley does not exist, ignoring search result.

What do you guys think? Without knowing a lot about how gnutella works i think this could be possible.

awesome that looks like it might work. also i agree spam sucks, u could just also disable viewing of T1 - T3 lines.. I think tho u'd also disable a lot of people esp. on a modem dialup that input that for better results. oh and where i live the spammers are on at around 11pm - 5am pacific time. Around that time frame or so.. I do download viruses sometimes to test AVG free, also avoid anything with wyzo in it it's a trojan, i got that sometimes when searching also I've been getting results that aren't what i searched for.

Example:

My search query: palm applications

Results: freescreensaver
setup
workgames
..........
i use frostwire by the way.....


edit: by the way i use comodo firewall with checksum verification on (disabled by default I believe) also i have all tcp incoming and udp incoming blocked and only have all tcp out allowed and udp only allowed out to two certain dns servers. Also with comodo firewall u can disable svchost.exe from accessing the net and i think that zonealarm u can't. U only have to allow it when visiting the windows update website and if using automatic updates, i got it disabled tho and timesync, so whatever it wants to sync to is a question in my mind, however when i dialup i get svchost blocked logs...
