MOST OF THESE LOSERS HAVE A ROTATING OR MASK ID. I AM WORKING ON A PROGRAM THAT WILL TRY TO DISCOVER THE ORIGINAL ID. IF I CAN GET THIS TO WORK, I WILL BROADCAST IT. AS FOR WMV'S, I HAVE ALL TOGETHER STOPED DOWNLOADING THEM. THE QUALITY IS POOR AND THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY FAKES. WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT FAKES BEING MORE PROFOUND AMONG VIDEO AND IMAGE FILES IS TRUE SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE FAR EASIER AND FASTER TO PRODUCE. A FILE AROUND 300 TO 800 MEGS IS SIMPLY NOT WORTH AN ADVERTISERS TIME. BESIDES, THEY MUST HAVE,AT ANY GIVEN TIME,AROUND 60 GIGS OF FILES ON LIMEWIRE. MINIMUM. TO CART AROUND MULTIPLE ADS AVERAGING 400 MEGS IS SIMPLY NOT PRACTICAL FOR A WORM. UNLESS OF COUSRE, THEY HAVE A MASSIVE SERVER. BUT STILL, NOT PRACTICAL. BUT CONSIDER THIS: APPLE SPENDS MILLIONS TO DEVELOP AN APP LIKE SHAKE,MOTION, WEB OBJECTS, EACH COSTING HUNDREDS, EVEN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. A SERVER PUMPING OUT FAKES ON GNUTELLA NETS DOESN'T SEEM LIKE MIS-SPENT FINANCES. IT'S A GREAT DETERENT. I MESS AROUND WITH THE LARGER APPS, SO I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED AS MANY FAKES AS YOU, BUT WAITING 30 TO 45 MINUTES FOR A FAKE IS A PAIN. I TRIED YOU METHOD AND IT HAPPENED TO ME TOO. DO IT AGAIN AND POST THE HOST'S ID. I WILL DO THE SAME. I ASSURE YOU THEY WILL BE THE SAME PERSON BUT TA DIFFERENT ID. YOUR QUESTION ABOUT BEING ABLE TO TELL, YES. HOST'S ID IS ALWAYS THE SAME. LIMEWIRE GOES "DEEP" NOT "INDIVIDUAL USER". CHECK OUT (HOWSTUFFWORKS.COM) AND LIMEWIRES STRUCTURE WILL BE EXPLAINED. AVOID THOSE WMV'S .ALSO, SEND ME THE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF ALL THE FAKES YOU GET. I WILL DO THE SAME
