People That Put Fake Files Or Change The Name.....

SHOULD BE FUCKING BAN FROM KAZAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry:



who agrees?




why would u even do that shit u fucking loserS!

Probably most of the people on this board agree with you... unfortunately, not much can be done about it.

Maybe their parents didn't want them and since their
dog managed to escape they don't have any other form of recreation.
I think we should be more tolerant of those poor social
deviants who aren't getting the help they so desperately need.

Most of the 'worst offenders' are the evil companies dedicated to that task.

We need to block their entire ip ranges (using Peer Guardian!) to 'kill them off', but even after doing that there will still be fakes floating around that people have already downloaded.

And also - take into account the people that are against file sharing.
The mpaa and other groups have made it clear that they try to make it unpleasant to get files off Kazaa.
They misname files(in bluk if some news articles I read are right), and do various other acts to make you annoyed.
They pay people to do it ;/

edit: what Switek said.

big movie companies and recording labels put fake files on sharring communities and do renaming to deter downloading of there copyrighted material, If we could stop them we would have already.

i agree these companies are damn annoying :angry:

this is why kazaa introduced the integrity system.
if everyone correctly renames, deletes or rates the file poor then it should help to cut down the chance of others accidentally downloading the wrong file B)

Aaah! The Mpaa/Riaa conspiracy theory again! There's no need for that. There are enough sick fucks who'll do that just for "fun"! Just look a the guys who create viruses ( viri? what's the correct english plural?)

when i download a fake i always rename it to what it should be

if you search for one of these files ie. matrix reloaded you will get the same answer in the left hand side of the search box but on the right hand side where it says filename it will tell you the real name of the film roadkill because i have renamed it

so come on everyone rename your fakes so everyone knows what they are getting people can still continue downloading that fake because the hash is the same so if somebody wants that fake coz they already know it is fake but they want the film that it really is it wont affect them

these ppl make me so mad i wish we could ban them somhow :angry:

i wish we could ban them 2 im sick of using avi preview to check for fake files

You can't ban them but you can kick them off the net. It is not a permanent solution since their IP changes everytime they log on again (except if they have a static IP). Just download off 'the bad person' and monitor your traffic using a network or packet sniffer. If you do that you can get their IP and nuke/kick them off the net. Windows 95, 98 and NT are easy to kill, even if they have been patched. Windows 2000 and XP are more difficult, especially when a firewall is in use. Then you would have to flood the firewall first and after that try to take down 2000 and XP's most vulnerable part, the remote procedure call (RPC). You can actually shut down that service from a remote location and 2000 and XP would be forced to reboot.

Wow!
How do you do that?
Your sheer knowledge of computer hacking amazes me!

I agree that this is a repetitive topic posted by many and that it should be moved as it is not related to a direct k-lite problem.

~MOVED~

isnt nuking a bit lame, and a bit of a script kiddie solution. kicking people who have fake files offline isnt gonna do much real good... they will reconnect straight away

Here is why some people change the names...

My top 6 list:
- The original name is too long to burn on a CDR, so you have to change it. Then you decide to share it, but can't remember the original name.

- The original name sucks and contains porno words, that the new Kazaalite will not allow you to share.

- The original file has foul language in it, and the user doesn't want to get busted (by others) for having bad stuff on the PC.

- The original file name has nothing to do with the contents of the file.

- Some jerk just wants to be different by changing names, but doesn't realize doing this attracts more uploads from him, because he actually made that file rare. Rare files attract more uploads.

- Some people are just plain stupid.

And, don't forget, to piss other users off. All this complaining probably provokes other users to fake file names to get on their nerves or, taking brand new movies for instance, to con people into D/L ing the film which is about 600/700 MB only to find out it is fake.

Kazaa should have a points system. So if u send too many fake files u cant download correct files yourself.
How annoying would that be to those morons who do it?

Is there *really* banned words these days???which? how?
There doesnt seem to be i can search for a;ll sort s of nastys... and i (think) have the most recent build...
