Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines.

 Help me explain how child porn got on my downloading list. One night I was bored and my wife was out of town. I opened up my program searched for new video's and clicked on a few of them. Most all had high user numbers. After awhile of searching I had maybe 12-13 set up to download. I closed the program and totally forgot about it. Now my wife who uses it for music files, opens it up and there on my download list is something labeled. 11 yo does...... so now she says I am a child porn freak. Mind you we are going through a divorce anyway so now she has fuel for the fire. In the past I have found weird stuff on my download list and figured I just hit it by mistake. Other times I hit download and it pops up to tell me I am already downloading it. But when I look it doest show on my list. So my question is is it possible to think your downloading one title and another title shows up. I know you can think you are downloading something based on the title and the movie or song end up being something totally different or a spam program. Mind you this movie never downloaded or even began to download so I or she has no way of knowing it was really child porn. She is only going by the title. Usually I recheck my download list but this time I didn't and it will cost me. She claims to have made a mirror image of my hard drive and put it in a cd, I told her good luck I can't even get a few movies on a cd how do you get a whole 80g hardrive on one. Even still she will spread it around that I am a child porn freak to discredit me. Can someone help me explain how it can happen.  |

 It probably wasn't child porn at all, but mislabelled as such. You failed to mention which program you were using but LimeWire is known to have a weakness where a download can be renamed before it completes if a large number of the sources have a different name for the file. From now on check your search results with bitzi before you start them. The command is hidden under "Advanced" when you right-click on the search result. |

| Yes I use Limewire, and I understand the whys and hows of it happening. And I do use bitzi when I am actively downloading or suspect a file. My wife thinks that I had to search for 10 yo.....for it to show up on my download window. I tried to explain to her about how a file could have many different titles if someone changes the title it doesn't change the original file only the name. And every file has a number assigned it isn't grouped by title when you see multiple sources. At least that's how I understand it. Tell me if I am wrong. And explain that to my wife. I hope to be able to direct her here so she can see it isn't just my "excuse" |

| a lesson to be learned here is to expand the search results and look at the various filenames associated with the return...considering the # of misnamed files on the network its quite possible that it was spam anyways....you might be able to view the incomplete file and prove it was a 'normal' video (though most likely still porn)

| Good point, thanks for that info, mind you that I have deleted all the files. And if I would have looked at the list like I normally do I would have deleted it right away to avoid this anyway.Plus yes it probably would have been a bad file anyway. Maybe I can now go search for multiple sources and show her the different file names. My luck I won't find any. |

| You should use BearShare for that. It makes all the info available, and much more easily than LimeWire does.  |
