tricked into downloading porn and unwanted files
 

how can you stop this from happening? I read the sticky post about filtering out words to avoid files you do not want, such as porn. But what if the file is named something you wanted then it turns out to be something else. In other words, the person tricked you into downloading porn when you wanted to watch a music video by Nirvana or something. I don't know about Nirvana but I think they have a song called "Runaway" so what if you put in "Nirvana Runaway" and there's a few files with that name then it turns out after you're done downloading, it's porn or something else. How do you avoid it and make sure it's not what you wanted. I've tried the preview button but it wouldn't come out even after 50% was downloaded. Either I get an error message or it's a green screen.

Hi Elizabeth ... I know this is a big forum and finding your way around is a nightmare for many newcomers, although, you have been around a couple of months.

In your thread "Wrong File", Lord of the Rings gave you this link http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&highlight=avi

If you follow that link, go to the first three posts by Lord of the Rings in that thread , and follow those links you will, I promise, find lots of useful information.

I think your questions were answered in that thread
