Haha, who would I try to impress? It's funny your mind works like that.

I'm not trying to impress anyone, but what you said was pointless. Call me a teen, but what're you? Judge YOUR responses. :P

I do not blame Google I just questioned the use of the word integrity for describing them. Because the practice of putting these sites as first does not fit the word.

Googles practice in that respect is no different from any other search engine. I myself use Google along withe the others. I do not blame them for making $$$. I just don't think they or any other search engine I know of is using integrity in the way the display search results.

Hey ChrisAvalon I see in another thread you probably have a virus. I don't suppose you DL a file around 851.7kb you might want to go to Norbie's site as the Lord suggested in the other thread the link below will take you there.

if you read first.... you would have seen that i did not call you a teen. i said "you sound like a teen". like birdy says " a closed mouth gathers no foot."

i thought adults out-grow that "all or nothing" syndrome. assuming of course you are one of THOSE.

"what" i've said is pointless? typical!

since you don't know me, how would you know if my mind works funny or otherwise. typical!

since you've asked, i judge my responses as (better than yours).
how's that for a judgement???lol lol lol lol lol

Haha do you want me to break it down for you two? It's not really worth the time or effort - your banter is cute, but that's all.

And me_d, I already know enough to know your mind ain't that savvy, but I won't judge you harshly. Just a little simple, that's all. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Your comments have no point, is all I was saying. Or your point was a joke. It was less insult, more fact. You can judge your comments to be more useful but that must be because uselessness is your mantra.

Maybe... you're right. I see the error in my ways.

Perhaps I should start writing more useless comments, with unwitty quotes, spaced out grammar, and half-*** insults.... just maybe.....

Oh wait, I don't care what you think. That was a close one.

Fair enough, Gpa.

OK. Now we're back many pages later to the ORIGINAL post and question.

1. I don't see the raw file quantity "depleting."

2. Search results are the results. You have to live with them or move on. I've tried several other "programs" including bittorrent proggies and believe me, the odd snarl-up or "junk file results" with LW is a small price to pay considering the speed and efficiency the program delivers as well as the MANY more results it yields.

Yeah I agree - for the most part. I'm not comparing LW to anything else - it's probably the best, but that's not the point.

I'm just pointing out some recent features about LW that are disappointing.

The problem with the search results is they're coming out BIASED with only these "sponsored results" and I'm noticing less movies/songs.

Example:

I tried to download Garden State for instance, and I've done this TWICE from LW - but now, I can't find a copy at all. Not to mention the first result is a freakin' "sponsored result" whatever that means.

Same with this TV I used to be able to get from LW - Red Dwarf. Now? Nothing.

Songs seem to come in okay. But at times even those searches yield nothing. Then 2 seconds later I'll try again, and it shows up.

If I forgot to mention before I will now:
1. autogenerated spam results, & also 2. autogenerated mp3 spam results

LW now has a spam filter, so get into the habit of using it. Now you know the spam sizes & if you look at the virus thread I gave earlier then also virii sizes. You can also get rid of porn using the word filter. So either ignore it or filter it out to begin with. The fact the network has been attacked by dubious sources with fake, autogenerated results, porn, virii, etc. doesn't mean it doesn't still work if you know how to work around it. The 1st thing is to recognise what files are bad.

So how to use the spam filter? Select what you know is rubbish results & press the trash button. The spam filter is a learning filter. It will learn with experience. It has a dynamic nature which confuses some people but you'll notice it picks up quite nicely after a while. For me I found it stopped autogenerated spam such as mp3 & ipod spam after just the 2nd search. But I set out to find the spam so I could stop it.

However, virii will take much, much longer for the filter to learn to filter out.
