scorpionrecords.

Gosh, I have to laugh at this as YOU were Warned Against d/ling said files. Obviously that is the reasoning behind the warning. Now your pissed.

What does it take, for you to get it??? We are here to help you, but not if you don't heed the warnings. The Gnutella Network is renowned for corrupt, fake, spam, and junk files. We generally don't Bullsh!t about this kind of stuff.

Good luck in the future.
