Ok, yes you are right, i have been using Limewire since version 3.something. Anyway, these are the sizes of files you DONT download, unless you are 100% sure that they are the file u want.

Don't download files that-

-Are 857.1kb, 875.1kb, 15.5kb or around that, unless they are pictures or documents, stay away form zips etc which are this size
-Files rarely ever are named exactly what u search unless u see the file and search the name from what u see, and even this is rare, most files under 2mb that show exactly what u searched, are infected.
-THIS IS IMPORTANT- Recently there have been a load of files on Limewire that say (Sponsored Result)...once again...infected stay, away

That's all i need to say ok cya!
