That's not how the Gnutella network works. When you download a file, you're connecting to someone's computer to download that file. Your search results show what's being shared at the time, by those people who are online at the time. When other people come online, new files are shared. When people change what they're sharing, the files available for download change. How are the people who own LW supposed to delete these files...go to everyone's house & delete files from their hard drives?
