i had been using gntullea for about 3 months has my primary source fir mp3s ad untill today i never came across a fake mp3 before today. I was downloading tracks from new album contraband and ran into many fakes. I also tried some other musicf iles and ran inro one other curupted file. fasttrack fake and curupted files started out small and now that is almost all there is i hate to see riaa do that to another networrk. Has anyone else noticed a increase in fakes lately?

Bound to happen not that alot of people are using Multi Network Clients. I too never got a fake from Gnutilla. I suggest you Download Mp3 Shield and that should help the problem. Start getting use to Downloading your files 10-20 times on all p2p networks. I just may join one of the Russian Mp3 sites where you can Download an entire album for less then a buck.

yeah, what you expect when a network incorporates itself with kazaa fast track. Its called stupidity on the developing team. It should have people from fasttrack able to download from gnutella and not upload to them. I hate it and wish they would close fast track down for good.. At least til a better program can come along and verify the songs before being in a shared directory.

My suggestion, don't use Gnutella, it's not a very good network for d/lling files such as music!
