There are rumors (I have no idea how true they are) about record companies, or some other entity, intentionally flooding the network with corrupted files to protect copywrited media, especially songs, and even more so, new songs. The fact that when you search for the "***" for instance, you don't have this problem as much as when you search for someone like "^^^" leads me to believe this may be true, at least in part. I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory and maybe it is, but check for yourself.

And as for the spamming, does anyone have any info on what limewire is planning to do to block these programs from replicating our searches? Because as I've said before, once they start varying the file size of these ads we're gonna be pretty much screwed.
