    Unhappy What's with all the porn?

    Seriously, is this network only for porn? Whenever I try to download anything it turns out to be porn. Even zip files are actually mpeg files with the zip extension. And why is it so freaking slow?

    Porn makes up about 70% of the internet. Try downloading verified files to avoid the porn. It's slow because of the queuing (sp?) system, although it is one of the most efficient, most well populated, and one of the most adaptable networks available.
    My current setup stats (like anyone cares...):

    ASUS A8N32-SLI Motherboard
    AMD 4400+ Dual-Core CPU
    Windows Vista (Ultimate 32bit)
    2 GB (2x1GB) Corsair XMS RAM
    2x250 GB (in RAID 0) HDDs
    EVGA GeForce 7950 GTX 512 MB
    Creative X-FI Fatal1ty XtremeGamer

    Also sporting a black MacBook
    Revision/Release 1
    Upgraded to 2GB RAM.

    Just consider it a blessing in disguise when that happens.

    I've never encountered unwanted files which turned out to be porn with the eMule network. I have, however, encountered this problem with Kazaa, unsurprisingly.

    its helps when download something off edonkey/mule to check what other people have the file named as if the one your downloading is named somet totally differnt to what everyone elses is called then its probley not what you want.

    I myself don't mind porn, but when i get it instead of the file i was looking for i get frustrated = it's easy to identify fakes/porn files (look at the description). After going over to ares/gnutella//bittorrent i haven gotten a single fake file!

    I downloaded "mystic river.avi"...and got "Anal Agency" :ass :upside

    I saw the funny side of it, but now I always tell emule to download the first chunks (previewable part) of a video file, and I use the freely available AVIpreview to play the video.

    As already mentioned, check user comments and see if the file has multiple suspicious file names.
