I have been able to solve this issue by right clicking the porn files that are showing up in my searches then clicking on block host you will have to do this every time they appear in your search but you will eventually get them all right now it isn't too bad there are only about 10 IPs that are hosting these files. But it will get worse as time goes on and if they change IP addresses you will have to do it all over again. But for now it is the only solution that I know of.

And it is not just in LimeWire it is in the net all p2p programs will get the same search results.

This does not address the principal issue in the first message - that the same mechanism that is causing the spam files to appear is also blocking access to many files that the user actually wants to find as a result of their searches. Its as if the Net is a lot smaller than it used to be.

yeah what he said but still the problem isnt blocking it but the issue of the sudden spreading of it...
