Thank you, I now understand what I can do to protect my children from the horrible search entities. Those dumbass porn stuff should be erradicated off all MUSIC sharing programs. Who agrees? If you want porn, then download a program specificly for it and stop punishing other users by showing it on music sharing. It really irritates me but I guess there is not much that can be done at the moment.
Thanks alot every body. You have been a big help.

Yours truly

Excuse me, I'm looking for [EDIT], please share it on Gnutella!

Sir,
You're preception of what Limewire is is flawed. It's a FILE sharing program, not a MUSIC sharing program.

Well, the System Resore feature in windows Me or XP is a sort of backup, but I don't believe it is sensitive to MP3 or image files, and FOR SURE it will never restore something from the My Documents folder (I read that somewhere). But be mindful of the registry; file names (not whole files) always get lodged in there after opening them.

There are two additional filters available for you to reduce the number of unwanted porn hits in your searches: words and hosts. Likely, what you are getting is merely pornographic advertising for websites, not larger video files. Most of the "Famous Name" female singer porno is short files that open your browser automatically after a few seconds of tasteless hardcore (I downloaded one just to see). That means they have a static IP that you can filter out (which I have done). The same goes for the four letter words: just type them in, and all those porno files with strings of four-letter words will not appear.

This may not filter out everything, but it will go a long way.

that would be good if gnet was JUST music

if you THAT worried about it why not filter out all non-mp3 files, that would get rid of ALL images, then all you would have to worry about is the small number of sound-bit files that are sexual in nature........


Plus, Sex is a part of life, deal with it, if you have kidsm you MUST have had sex.....

if you have kids over the grade school level they are exposed to it more so than gnet will ever expose to them anyway,

There are many ways to irradict 99.9% of porn from your system, I dont know how limewire filters work but the program I use (shareaza) as a very good filer system

I might sign up for such an effort, but only if people sign up with my effort to get religious programming off of television, political commentary off of radio, and about 80 other pet peeves.

Hi all,

Here is my own biased overview of this:

Gnutella is a public network. In theory, everyone on this planet is able to share files over this network.

A similar comparison might be made of radio communications or news papers and magazines.

There are some forms of communication that are not under strict government regulation, Gnutella is one. Good or bad that is the way it now works.

Limewire is only one of many tools that enable people to connect to the net. Limewire has no control over net content.

In an ideal world, a person would be able to filter out anything. I use Microsoft Outlook, (which is supposed to be one of the better email utilities) with all of the filters and rules that I can think of I still get unwanted email ads. If I had young children in the house I would not allow them access to my computer because of that.

I wish there was a 'kiddy-net' for kids, but there isn't.

An internet enabled computer is a powerful tool.

Children should use powerful tools only under close adult supervison.

i think it is really ironic that the very same user who wants porn "banned from limewire" is also wanting to know how to erase media player's history...what's wrong? did you see something that you don't want your spouse or children to knw you're watching? hehe

All this shielding of children makes me really concerned. I am not sure where you "overprotectors" are currently located, but my educated guess is the united states.
The united states, correct me if i am wrong,
has such a thing as legal hardcore porn.
That does not go for most of europe, with the exception of germany, denmark and sweden.
80-90% of all porn on the internet comes from america. So the problem of porn on the internet is basically americas fault. But it seems that it is americans who are most concerned with their children suddenly bumping into it. Even though they "in theory" have the political power to do something about it.

Maybe you should ban porn from your video stores and magazine stores before you ban it on the internet. I would imagine it equally easy for a kid to find a hard-core magazine and to search for it on the internet.

The internet is not a toy for young children. I didn't get on the internet before I was 13 of age, mainly because there was no internet. But now a days, it's a god-given right to go on the internet , even though you an infant. We simplify even the simple things to allow younger and older audiences on it.

Why do you want your kids to surf the internet in the first place? And why for the love of god do you want them surfing the gnutella net?

Put your priorities straight, because you can't tell the million users out there, agegroup 16-28 (mainly male), that they can't surf porn!
