Default Filter out files by size?

I've noticed while searching for videos many of the results are bogus, and the vast majority of the fake returns fall below 10,000 KB size, I know you can filter by keywords but is there any way to set my filter to ignore files below this size?? Thanks for the help.

Not at this point in time. I requested a size filter last year but it looks like a while before it's adopted which is a pity. What you can do is, arrange your search results by size. Double-click the file size label at the top of the column of the search results. This will put the largest files at the top. Also, I think you'll notice most bogus files are wmv files which is why it's generally recommended to filter .wmv out. But then again, many people do like to downld wmv format.

Eh, that is a good idea, thank you very much, and thanks for suggesting the size filter to Limewire, that would be very helpful, I did do the .wmv thing, but some of the videos I like have been .wmv so that didn't work out for me. Thanks again.

I click on the arrow on the bar, and make the larger files go on top and the smaller junk files stay at the bottom. That way, I dont have to deal with them. And I sort by filter. I dont see how they can filter by size as it would block the smaller files that are ligit.
