I've been seeing this a lot over the past year and it seems to be getting worse. I first thought it was some kind of advertising mechanism within Limewire but even trying older versions I get the same results. I still don't understand how a fake file can instantly display search results of 100-99-98 down to about 49 with different file sizes so quick. After all, if you can't download 100-49 then how are they being shared? You are correct in that songs with less than 10 shares will usually download ok but sometimes there are none so how is this happening and is there anything Limewire can do to exclude them? It also does seem to be worse on the most popular songs or artists so I suppose it's the artists or RIAA who is planting these bogus files. If anybody has a solution I'd love to hear it.
