 Search Results Hello all, I am a happy user of LW Pro. But now i have a question for you guys & girls. Why is it that when i want to download some games, the search results are infested with virus files (851,7) and that there are hardly no results found for good games? For example, i made a search for the game Splintercell, but almost all files that were displayed are fake files. This also happens when i try to search for other games. I thought that the Gnutella Networks also contained a lot of games. Or am i doing something wrong here?  Some info: LW: LimeWire Pro 4.9.37 (legal) Connection: 20MBps Downstream / 2MBps Upstream Last edited by UnitedConsumer; November 3rd, 2005 at 08:24 AM.  |

 If these are the only results you're getting then perhaps nobody's sharing those particular games or aren't online at that time. I personally prefer to arrange my downlds by size by double-clicking the size column in the search results. At least then I know the results at the top of the list are representing fake or good results. Try a different search criteria. Try the search under programs or any type ... try putting zip or rar at the end of the name or shortening the name when searching. eg: GameX - .rar
