If a file has the same size(exact) and is titled to be the same but has a different ending, is it the same file?
EX.
randomtitle.exe,(765,456kb)
randomtitle.bin,(765,456kb)

I ask this becuase alot of the verified i download have the same name and size as those i find is search but the ending is ussualy different, is summone just switching the endings or do they both work,or is it somthing else?
any one have any ideas?

i think some people just like to change the extensions to confuse people - the same filename and size doesn't seem like a coincidence thing

yes, the extension's probably been changed.
but not to simply confuse people.
.bin's will be sorted by Kazaa into the "Other" category. So if a user searches for title by selecting "Software"
they won't find it...
further validation of the truth of my sig. :D...
anyway, yeah, they're probably both the same. If you try to run the .exe one you'll get
a "program too big for memory" error...
