Hi all,
I have noticed that when downloading MP3s, many of the files are what I'd call fake files, i.e. incomplete, wrong file or corrupt.
I have pretty much figured out how to seperate the wheat from the chaff (i.e. spot the good files and download them only), but this does add to the download time.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I do have a theory that as new albums are released, the music companies are flooding the file sharing system with corrupt files in order to discourage people from downloading files. I may sound paranoid, but that what I've come up with so far.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
Cheers,
Mr. Ed

It is to target this problem.

Oh you are smart. We should give you a gold star for working that out .
However there are 2 other possible reasons which everyone knows.
People accidentally share them
People like to piss other people off
If you can think up some other reasons then we will congratulate you (without the sarcasm).

I know stuff ...
If you attack the establishment long enough and hard enough, they will make you a member of it.
