This is irrelevant.

Searching the web and gnutella for files and informations about "not so well known" artists.
Hate to tell 'ya, but if they aren't very well known, the odds of finding info you won't find on a www or usenet search are about nil.

Of cause i'll take a look at hans-neblung.exe . Without being "dumb"
Why? Documents are small enough, and even if you want to zip them or extra space, everyone has archive extraction utilities, so there's no real point in making it self-extracting. Have you ever happened to find information in exe format?

Open up your mind, seeker, try to imagine, people don't use the same stuff in the same way. Not everybody is searching for mainstream mp3 or porn-videos. Right?
Even if you're not searching for 'mainstream' stuff, that doesn't mean that you should throw away sense. Documents will be in .txt .doc .wri etc. formats, or zipped into clearly labeled archives. They will virtually never exe files, and definately not exe files that exactly match the keyword(s) you used.

And beneath all that... downloading anything in executable format from anywhere but trustworthy websites, to me, is stupid.
