It's really strange because you can rearrange by comment. Can't really see why the keyword filter won't filter them if Limewire notices them.

@WW

From the screenshots I see these are .wma files, so block .wma like I have told everyone thousands of times now

No wonder these results don't show in my searches

There is a list of words and extensions to block in the thread you pointed to

Sleepless, I don't use the filter, I never have...I've done enough research to know what's fake and what's not...I was just showing an example of what these guys where seeing...

Default marking them as junk

I seem to have been fairly successful marking them as junk, but there doesn't seem to be an option to not display junk results, so the mark isn't really that helpful.

I use Limewire.

It would seem to me that this problem would have to be solved at the network level, to not allow these files to show up in search results at all.

The Hosts are Coming is flying high
Default

A good way to get rid of an undesirable file like this in the results is by going in the "Location" column on the right side of the search window (if enabled) and see who hosts it. Go to "Tools > Options > Filters > Hosts" and type in the IP (range)(s) you want to block. Sorry if I'm numerically dim--I've tried it before, and it's somehow effective.

Would that work even though most of these spam results are on multiple (usually 40-80) IPs?

Default Spam

Two things iv'e noticed re spam results, one as has been mentioned elsewhere, if you cant ' Browse' sources, they are often spam, second also a question, has anyone noticed that when the network is especially busy, i.e. saturday nights etc.. you get hardly any spam results in searches???? it does seem to be a function of how many genuine hosts are online !

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
