What is spam.dat file?

I have a question about the file spam.dat found under the \limewire folder. What is this file used for? The files that are inside it, are they put in there by the user or by Limewire? Can the files inside it be retrieved by the user? Does Limewire automatically purge this file periodically so it doesn't get too big? Is this file even necessary in order to use Limewire? If there is a pornographic file in there, does this mean the user intentionally downloaded that file? Or could the file get in there without the user's knowledge?

Try asking at LimeWire Forums - Powered by vBulletin. You'll find some programmers over there ;).

6_pac,

Thank you. I'll try posting over there.
