The 1.4m users is reported by the server, there's no reason it can't make that up just as easily as as it can make up file counts.Debaser wrote:Now one has appeared that had over 300m files.
They are ok though. They appeared when I clicked a safe server link in this thread.
1.4m users connected as well, so I guess its def ok.
In general I trust the safe server links, but I wonder if that one might simply not have updated their server lists. Remember that it's possible that when a server is shut down the RIAA/etc takes over the actual server. Usually when that happens they use the same www address but at their own web server (with a different IP address). It's conceivable though that they took over an actual server. I'd be careful, that many files seems high.
If you connect to it do you get real results and peers? That would go a long way towards making me feel safer...
PS I am waiting for an Austin Powers server... "one MILLION files!!!!!!!!"
