Question non routable IPs advertising files for dl

Is it just me or is anyone else getting tired of having folks force non-routable IPs
(e.g. 10.* 192.168.*) and leaving the file search open just to produce a ton of search results that can't be reached ?

Maybe they could put a little hook in the program to stop searches from reporting files when a non-routable IP is forced

Well, unfortunately, it's up to us. You can filter them in Tools > Options > Filters > Hosts. You can enter them as 10.*.*.* or 192.*.*.*

Another way is to only choose 4 star results. Also in Options.

I have had the rare occasion of being able to download from some of these hosts.

You may want to try posting that in New Feature Requests. Maybe something can be done.

err... oh yea... hadn't thought of filtering those folks :P

I've only ever had one file come from one of those private blocks

I wonder if it has to do with setting that force when one deoasn't actually need it, and when it does work it's due to someone who knew
