Please Explain

[jjyank]

hello everybody, i am new to the forums

i have a problem, and i need some help...

every time i try to download this game i really want, Battlefield 1942, it turns out to be a different file <_<

why is this? do people rename their files "Battlefield 1942" when the file is really something like "Microsoft Word"

this has happened to me many times, however when i download music, or programs it always works...for example i downloaded Microsoft Frontpage 2002, whichworked on my first download

why is it every time i try to download a game, it is not really what it says, or am i juts doing tsomething wrong?

please help, I&#39;m tired and frusterated

What do you mean download. If you want to play a game then buy it.

Support the developers and the retailers.

Are you a thief or what ?

[jjyank]

in a sense, downloading anything is steeling

but thats not my point

i dont have the cash, so i want 2 download it, just like music and movies

please answer my question and not worry about "steeling" it

[J'Pol]

You want people to help you steal. I think not.

If you can&#39;t afford it then save up.

[jjyank]

downloading music is steeling

downloading movies is steeling

this entire program helps you steel

what do you want to call it?

what is the difference of me downloading a game as opposed to me downloading movies and CD&#39;s?

No difference whatsoever

you are a thief.

[jjyank]

all i want is an answer to my question

"why are all the game files misnamed"

every one is misnamed and its pissing me off

can someone that actually truely is sharing the true version of BF1942, please help

[jjyank]

yes i am a thief, and so are the million of other people that use Kazaa and Kazaa lite, and WinMX, and every other program like it

you dont know me, so leave me alone, or answer my question

[J'Pol]

No-one is really sharing.

It&#39;s all just a conspiracy to make you look like an arse.

It worked.

[zolaisugly]

Sig doesn&#39;t work

Avatar doesn&#39;t work

Bad spelling, in fact poor use of language overall.

Yes i&#39;m taking you seriously.

I certainly amn&#39;t going to lay the guy as you suggest.

[J'Pol]

Actually I do think it&#39;s funny.

That you took this thread seriously.

He&#39;s having a laugh.

At your expense.

[jjyank]

Can&#39;t argue with that.

A well thought out argument.

I stand corrected.

Hi There &#33;
he has a pretty valid point &#33; apart from a message to the user telling him/her the programme is not named correctly, is there any way we can report/get on top of the problem. it&#39;s a rather insidious abuse , especially for users with 56k modems or less &#33; :unsure:

technically its not steeling its haring and ahhh.... it known as data where sharing so its not stealing coz its ONLY DATA :lol:

[IHATEFAKEFILES]

I think the game publishers do it. I mean, do you think they like us to gank thier software. So they put files that either dont work or is something else. So we get pissed off, waste our time and evenually buy the game or movie or what ever. Thats what I&#39;d do. :ph34r:

Well now that you are a member of this site visit the Verifieds and you should be able to cut down on the bogus file downloading. As for why renaming is done, simple to irritate the hell out of you as in this case. One thing to take note of, if you want to be part of the P2P world, that&#39;s something you will have to deal with. No stopping it, use the Verifieds and you will be okay or at least cut down the chances.

Closing since it has somewhat strayed into :flame:...........
