Default issue searching, fake results pop up instantly

Bad results are always popping up no matter what I do. I can't get a real search off because of these bad results. What can I do?

Could you clarify please?

What do you mean by a 'bad' or 'real' search?

Are the files you download fake or can't you find what you are looking for?

I too am having this problem. What happens is that no matter what you type in as a search topic, the same 2 files appear instantly.

Exactly what the guy above has said! The same files appear with a huge user total of who has it. And nothing else really pops up.

That didn't help one bit. Can you tell me how to do this? I am getting fake results, and want to stop that. The fake results dominate my search, and when the high number of fake results it ends my search prematurely. I know the files I am looking for are out there, and the are not working because of this problem.

I didn't understand what was in the links or the walk through. It was not very clear.

I've been getting it too and it really slows down any searches that i do. I started doing some popular searches and those two would pop up every time and be the only results i get for several minutes. Finally got'em filtered.

What are their exact sizes in bytes? those exact file names get no results, so
searching by size is probably the best way to track these guys down.

Also, right-click those files, select "Advanced" and "Copy Magnet Links to
Clipboard" and PM the magnets to me.


I'll run some searches and see if I can
come up with new firewall rules for those spammers.

How do you search by size? The file sizes are 19631 kb and 13209 kb.
