2) when you're looking for a movie, there is a trick : when you put the cursor on the file and you do NOT get any information about the size (like 512x288), it's a fake! do not download it!

understood? the sign does not mean a lot at all
I see this common misconception (no offense meant) among a lot of Limewire users. You are the only one using your own junk filter. Limewire's programming is marking these files as junk. It is going by whatever pattern you use to mark junk. You are meant to train the filter over time. If you mark small file sizes as junk, LImewire will assume that you do not want small files and will mark others as junk. Sometimes it does this with specific words in the file. This is the way it is supposed to work. However, I have not had the junk filter really work yet. Files I mark as junk show up again as not junk. So I don't really bother anymore.
