This is really ****ing annoying. Now half of the songs I search for aren't even there. They've just been wiped out with all this shitty spam. Whoever is uploading these files is ruining the network. I also get a load of spam .mov files for when I search for videos. It's extremely annoying and needs to be stopped.

Spam when downloading
 
I just paid for the pro version and I am not happy at all. I tried to download songs and every song is bill clinton's voice with some advertisement...what is that? How do I get rid of it...what did I pay for?

Then I noticed they say "no refunds"...are you kidding me? This is junk! I downloaded 54 songs and everyone that I have played has the stupid bill clinton advertisement. What can we do about this? Bring attention to this organization. This is not what I paid for.

Springs,
It takes a little time and effort to be able to recognise fake files,like.mov and .zip files of certain sizes.avoid results with multiple hosts,i.e. 40 or more,
please look in the forum using the ''Search'' function,type in phrases like 'fake files' ' Spam' etc.. and you will find masses of info on this. you also have a 'junk filter' in LWire which you can set up to block a lot of it.
Look at the stickies on fake files. BTW LWire once mastered is BRILLIANT !

It ****** me off when I search for a music video and the search turns up 10 results, each with exactly the same file size and name. Not only that, by file size I mean like 270Kb. A normal music video in mp4 format could no way be as little as 270Kb. I donno if it's spam or not, but it is some crap that I don't even want to try downloading.
Also annoys me when I put in a perfectly normal search and I get things like "Cute Girl Strips On Web Cam" under every artist which I search. I accidentaly click on it, 750Kb, I have it downloaded in 6 seconds, before I know it internet explorer has opened up 10 times over on a dating website.

One way of not downloading songs with bill clinton's voice, is by avoiding songs of size under 1,000 KB's such as 22.6, 114.1, 136.7 kbs. Every song I found under 1,000 kb's, I marked it as Junk, but that's not enough.

As a feature request add a filter under the audio search options, to exclude any word you want.

I also dont filter so i get more results so i can choose which file i want out of the (large) list it really wont hurt you to not filter if you just use your brain and common sense but sometimes even that isnt enough ive caught myself a few times basically if one file looks alot larger than the rest in the search... its probably not what you want....once you download it. PLAY IT! if it isnt what you wanted DELETE IT! but dont rely on that completely the item may have multiple viro-s or if you open it may completely destroy your computer if you arent smart just be careful when you download
