No results except spam

I'm using version 0.96.4 as packaged for Ubuntu 7.10.
Lately, 100% of my search results are spam.  I tried
deleting my configuration (rm -rf ~/.gtk-gnutella)
which  has solved various problems in the past, but it
didn't help.  I have no idea what to do next.

Is it possible this has something to do with Comcast's
recent shenanigans?

Thanks...

You should try to get the latest version from SVN and compile it yourself.
Version 0.96.4 lacks some of the newest support against SPAM.

I might try that, but I can live with the spam.  The
problem is that I used to get 5000 real hits on a
search and 50 spam.  Now I just get 50 spam.

Unfortunately, yes.  That's because of dynamic querying.

This is why you must identify spam automatically so that GTKG does not
count that amount as real hits.

Better yet, connecting to (recent) GTKG ultrapeers willl help you out
because they discard spam on the fly as well and will not penalize your
dynamic queries.

Updating to current SVN is always a good idea. Your other option is
switching to Ultrapeer mode. It's quite possible that you are connected
to Ultrapeers which are just bad or over-worked due to the high amount
of spamming. Also make sure your search phrases don't exceed 30 characters.

Regarding Comcast, that's nothing recent. It is well-known that they've
been messing with Gnutella since, at least, 2006. It is not specific to
Comcast anyway. At least Cox, Adelphia and Cablevision have been doing
exactly the same. Never trust a news that you have not written yourself.
