Hello there. I'm a newbie to this site so I apologize in advance if this questions has been asked before.

I've been using WinMX for music downloads for several years now and have used it exclusively for several reason. Lately however, it's almost got me scared. If I do a search for newer music, it will usually find lots of files. However, I noticed that quite often it has many copies of the same file name by the same user. I've never noticed this as much as in the past, but I don't feel comfortable downloading from user johnsmithxx that has 150 available versions of the exact same song. Maybe I'm paranoid, but it leaves me with the impression that these are false user names set up to get your user name or IP address information if you download them. It feels like you are being baited into a trap.

Any imput would be appreciated. I know there is always dangers associated with this type of activity. I love WinMX, but this stuff has got me a little concerned about downloading these days.
