I'd like to be able to provide you folks with a half decent filter. Editing the limewire.props file works, but this is clearly beyond the abilities of the average user.

If I could just provide a standalone file with simple instructions on where to put it, a lot of people would enjoy the benefit of being able to block most of the spammers and hostiles out there.

See "The LimeWire Fullsize Hosts Filter!" for details on how to install and use it.

Thanks--I like the idea.

Perhaps rather than only blocking, the hostilefile could optionally be used to flag hosts/results with a different colour? Like amber, for a warning light, say.

(btw--your links are still working)
