I'm quite new to file sharing and today i got one of the biggest shocks in my life. I clicked on a file to download a film (not porn). I checked on the preview and what i saw was not the film that it should have been but what looked like the start of a child porn film. deleated the file straight away.
This sort of thing make me sick. Why do these sickos put this stuff on file sharing programs.
I am very worried that i will get into trouble now. Has this happened to any one else?

happened to me before, when I was starting limewire. You wont get in trouble. Just use your head next tie you d/l something. Look it up with Bitzi, check the size, etc. To look up with bitzi, right click the file you want, go to advanced, and lookup with bitzi. People might have reviewed the same file you want. A normal film sould be 650 MB+. Most of them I find are in the 700's.

I too have had the same problem. I have downloaded what i thought was a walt disney classic, but soon found out it was porn!!!! i carnt believe how these sick people can put such things on lime wire, and bragg about how illegal it is!!! i still dont understand how people can rename them, and mislead all us genuine people! it really does sicken me!

The same thing happened to me, actually several times, which first makes me sick because of the content and second makes me mad because of the time I wasted downloading this sick crap. I have a few serious questions...

1) Is there any way to block this stuff? I use the filter on my limewire, but since this is mislabled, it doesn't apply to these items.

2) Are there web police patroling Limewire? First I think there should be, to get rid of this sickos and ban or arrest them and second I want to make it known that I am unware of this when I am d/l suck trash, so I would really hate to be affliated with such evil sinnful creatures as pedos, rapist or any other of this sick trash that some find amusing to place on this file sharing network.

I would sign a letter if possible, to have these removed from the internet perminently; something to think about. So please give me an answer soon as I hope never to have this problem again.

Thank You,

Yea, Limewire should make a group of people being able to Ban ip addresses from using this program would really help the problem.

understand that nothing is put on LIMEWIRE
limewire is a p2p (person to person) or comp to comp software thats all when you download you are downloading from somebody elses computer.
in short you have acces to john does computer and files that he/she wants to share and they have access to yours.
you can BAN an ip by right clicking and blocking host

That was not what i said... i said they should be able to ban people from using the program... so the ones banned cant download or upload any files using LIMEWIRE.

The same thing happened to me. I was trying to download a film and got something altogether more sinister. I nearly bricked it! thought I was in serious trouble.

why can't the police do anything about these sicko's, You hear of arrests in the news and yet these people are openly bragging about it sometimes!

THis is a major voiletion of world wide law and unfortunatly to those people who have downloaded them by accident probably are now on the cops radar list but it completly wasnt your fault and there should be some kind of mods for teh guentella network to take off thos F***ing and report them to the police
