Dirty searches in MLDonkey

When you do a search in MLDonkey, and you get dirty reply like *.exe, *.zip ... or old searches, with big sources, it could be due to fake-servers.

If you didn't update the server list since too much time, maybe you will have fake-servers. Moreover when you boot mlnet, it used to load servers, but the problem is that you have old servers in the cache, so the server list is not updated.

You can search which are the fake-servers, or remove all servers from the server list and then add the good ones. The best way (for me) is to remove each server by one, and then shutdown mlnet server and boot it again.

In the downloads.ini file (more or less in the line 220), there is the web_infos option. There you can change from where to get the server.met file when mlnet is booted. However, if you type the command vwi in the MLDonkey web gui, you can see which files are loaded in the boot time. You can add more server.met files too.

After searching in the web, i have find some webs to download "good" server.met.
