Kevin61588 is flying high
Default Bogus results flooding network?

This does not happen regularly, but when I search for certain files (video files) I will sometimes get an abnormally high number of results back (usually around four-thousand) and I can't connect to any of them. It just says connecting for about five minutes and then classifies the file as "need more sources". When the results are comming back they don't seem to behave normally either. rather than a few results showing up initially and then the number count climbing, each time an entry shows up it already has 80 - 200 results and dosen't usually climb anymore after that. I have the suspcion that because this always happens for particular files, interested parties have set up computers connected the network to return results but not allow anyone to connect to them.

I am connected through a very large (university) LAN with a firewall, however my firewall is set to allow limewire to connect.
