Not so rare now. Not for copyright material be it video or TV material. This spam type has started to come in strong for such material. Almost as though there's preset keywords for both tv & video material to grab the spam engine's attention. Such a list wouldn't take too long to put together. It seems to have happened gradually which suggests an ongoing process of adding to this list by the overpeers which perhaps are the ancestors of the present gangs/thugs/overpeers/r*aa/child rapists.

I don't know how LimeWire displays search results especially when it comes to showing the count of sources. So I'm not sure whether I've seen this or not. I searched for episodes of Lost b/c I don't really know what's popular in the US nowadays or what Wollyhood is doing anyways. I didn't find anything with more than ~30 hits but many of those hits had 10 and more alt-locs. That could have been what you see. As far as I know, LimeWire doesn't filter any bad or non-assigned addresses at all, so someone might just send tons of results with such addresses just to turn everyone off. PeerGuardian won't help you one bit b/c it can only see incoming and outgoing traffic but none of the addresses exchanged within any protocol. Well, even if you filter such bogus addresses, they could simply use random addresses for the same effect.

Then again it could simply be a bug. Maybe LimeWire has an endian issue with its new DHT toy? You could actually take that for granted if it happens with the Mac version only.

What I forgot to mention is that for me anyway (nobody else seemed to notice this), is that the file chosen to downld would cancel itself after some minutes of trying to connect. Now I use a mac but the others who have complained about this have been mostly windows users. Self-cancellation is something I'd never seen before. And that is at least one way of knowing these are false results or dud files. In the sample image I provided I didn't cancel any of those ... they cancelled themselves (the torn/shredded paper indicates cancellation of downld.)
