well ok i understand it could be rubbish data… but how to aviod it… . !!!

You’re going to get some rubbish data when downloading. If it’s really bad then either someone using Azureus 2.4.0.0 or the swarm is being posioned.

Use a good firewall to protect your PC. Norton & Zonealarm are not good firewalls, the XP SP-2 actually is a good firewall.

And try Peer Guardian 2, it will block known bad IP address. During install use these three lists of theirs: p2p, ads, & spyware. Don’t bock education, you don’t want to block people who are using their high speed college lans that can upload to you. :wink: Also, don’t use bluetack’s lists. Their’s are bloated and the guys who make them are over paranoid noobs.

Here’s are some things to read to help minimize the rubbish data
