I was online and downloading a song i heard. Theres a song they play on the radio that is censored, so i wanted to hear the full uncut song.. So i download it at 25 sources.. SKIPS, beeps, and above all else peerguardian went off, its a first time it ever gone off on shareaza.. So anyone had that same experience let me know, im wondering if its cause of other networks are joining fasttrack or shareing of same file folders of downloading and sharing.

User A downloads file from kazaa in same shared folder as other filesharing programs. User B, C, and D download song from user A and now user you have gotten it. Oh well, mabey users users A-D will get rid of it before users F-Z ::excluding u, E:: download the file.

Exactly, lots of people have the same default folder for all their p2p programs, including me. The difference is, if I ever get a fake, I would delete it immediately. Luckily, none yet.

You can't expect Shareaza to be fake-proof, dude.

well the song is intact, its just fake hashes is what i make out of it. It even said verified at the end of the download.. So maybe implementing a better hash system?

I downloaded four and a half gigs of complete albums yesterday just using my isp's free newsserver, most of them EAC lame hq. DC++ private hubs are my second choice. Why in the world do you folks keep using these programs? It's not gonna get any better.

Well you could always give it a 'ghost rating' as fake and make sure other people are warned before they donwload it.

Or, you could do the obvious, and just delete the file.

deleting it will just start the cycle over again.. rating might warn other users.. but most people just search and click away anywayz
