Default re: fake files

Quote:
the presence of fake files, whose names are returned matching exactly the query, but whose content is advertizing for some porn sites.
verdyp, my understanding is that these results are generated from popular searches by certain sources linking onto the search. Sure, people may dwnld these accidently, else the offender(s) for generating these files may be accumulating them (Possible source of fakes. ) Rather than just using keyword filters (eg: .wmv, .exe, .jpg), which doesn't suit people looking for files in these formats, your suggestion sounds good. Brainstorming ideas? I made a suggestion in the New Feature Requests section for a size filter to be added to LW. This can help people in more ways than one & would certainly help to block out those automatically (I suspect) generated search results that are fakes. This is the size filter suggested & its advantages: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28255

Quote from the possible source of fakes link I gave above: 'Movie Pirates take ripped versions of porn movies and publish them on the network. (Copyright-infringment). The porn industry in response to this attempts to curtail the activity by flooding the network with video-clips that advertise the websites for such material.'
