      What I remember (I think it was the eDonkey software) was the ads were just photos in a folder.

      What I did was found dummy ads, renamed them to the names of the legitimate ads, deleted the original ads, and set the folder to read only. All I ever saw were the joke ads.

      Man, that brings me back. That and the software that would update your trackers automagically every x amount of minutes.
