Hello everybody

Hi teclis,

I would just like one more feature added with regard to eliminating fake or deliberately 'contaminated' files (presumably by the record companies themselves).

Lately, I have been downloading some files that are either mono or start to skip at the end or contain complete silence. Though previewing the file at the start of the download could help in the first and third scenario, it doesnt when the file has been tampered with at the end or in the middle.

So there could be some kinda MD5 checksums of search results that could be verified against a 'trusted' list or by eliminating the 'bad seeds' by means of rating/poll or something else.

It could be very difficult to implement especially in a de-centralized network, but that would be a cool forward-looking feature.

Regards,
Krish
