I wasn't here wen there was a 'verified' section, but please get it back. I do feel sorry for you dial-up users. I got broadband this month and its heaven (well, to me anyway).
People who change names make me laugh though, thinking changing the title but leaving the filemane the same. They just dont get it do they? (i hope people here dont change names, i may of helped them out). Nah, you guys are great (benno's an example).
Geee.. it must be me :o I thought I said that .. :rolleyes:Quote:

all i can say on this subject is that i wouldnt change file names if people didnt call them things like...
nude porn hardcore girl f*cks and sucks while man watches and other girl plays with him as kid watches in background with while petting cat and drinking coffee from a cup that says i am the greatest.avi
and i will keep changing files names that have absolutly nothing to do with the contents of the file...
B)
I find that even if I change a filename to what it should be (total club manager which is nba live 2001 is a good example) people still download it, taking the name in the search list as the real thing without looking down the list (by clicking the white cross-box) first to see if anyone called it anything else.
Even worse, if I tell them politely in a message that there downloading.... then say what it really is. Im either ignored or replyed after its finished with a 'oh, you were right'. Still, there loss.
Most of the time, users aren't there to reply to messages or read to them and most dont care of what you say so... fakes will be around.
I'm almost convinced that "it must be me" now.. I could of sworn that I mentioned that I would of been ready to commit murder had I been on "dial-up"... hmmm.. maybe I should go back and re-read the original thread??Quote:

:lol: You have broadband and hate fakes. Imagine bein on dial-up, downloading a game for 3 days and it's fake.
I am on dial up, I waited days, I am being sentenced tomorrow :P
Ha cool avator, reminds me of my girl :D
In case people notice, sorry i keep editing my messages I usually dont realise mistakes till there posted.
Although most of what you guys are talking about is people misrepresenting files for their PL level, I thought I'd post my thruppence worth on a very related topic. :D
Wouldn't it all be very useful if their was some kind of naming protocol for files, like the hungarian format for win programming. It works so much better and although i doubt there's a single person out there totally happy with the format used it still is so much better than having no format.
My suggestion would be something like:
For tv
seriesname_seriesnumber_episodenumber_episodetitle
Film
filmname_year
MP3
Artistname_Album_Songtitle
Software would be harder as is more varied but something like
softwaretitle_version_build
Obviously these suggestions are only the tip of the iceberg and I am blissfully unaware of various limitations different OS platforms have on filenames eg length, punctuation marks etc
What does everyone think?? :huh:
Ps apologise if sticking names together makes it hard to read for non English speakers :P
I agree completely pw3n.Quote:

hmm I change all my file names to a 'artist - content' format like 'Capdown - Ska Wars.mp3' because lots of files i download have annoying names like 'punk-07- capdown_skawa.mp3' or something and i have like 500+ mp3's and would prefer them to be easy to read, is this one of the things you're complaning about? :huh:
I dont share any fake files tho ;)
Fatal Error, if filename changing bothers you so much then I suggest you go see a doctor and get something for your nerves.
Considering the nature of KaZaA and the amount of infantile users
If I let it's anomalies bother me for so much as a second I would end up twitching and screeching in the corner.
The world is full of idiots and when there anonymous then they run riot
Do what I do and completely ignore them
There’re enough legitimate users and verified sites for KaZaA to work to MY total satisfaction.[/b][/quote]
I couldnt agree with you more.. I totally understand the inherent problems in filesharing.. I was just expressing my opinion about something that will probably never change, and of which, nothing can be done about. I guess I was expressing my frustration out loud..sorry about that. After reading some of the comments on this topic.. I have to agree with you.. there are alot of idiots out there. I considered this subject closed as soon as I posted the article. :D :D
I think we were both letting off steamQuote:
