nice post Ethen, I'd been wondering about those 'full-downloader' files.

PS @ fellow FT users, I just filter them out in Grokster by either or both of these methods:

a) in the Search bar, select More Search Options > Size > 'At Least' & '1,00KB'. (actually, I was already doing size filtering for most kinds of media just for quality reasons).

b) in Search Bar or Tools> Options, select Filter and add 'downloader' to the blocklist. Now searches won't fill up with results from these 'full-downloader' files. This method is good when searching the 'Everything' category, which doesn't allow size filtering, or when you need something of a size similar to this trojan/worm.
