I downloaded a movie and when I went to the directory it was downloaded to it wasn't the same movie I thought I had downloaded. Why is this? Are there people out there that are renaming movies because they don't have anything else to do?

Pretty much. There's lots of speculation as to why people would do this, I personally have no idea, but I find it very annoying, as does everyone else here I'm sure.
There are ways to avoid this, try using Avi preview to have a look at the file as it is downloading. Also when you run a search for the file and find many sources, click the + next to the file name, some people will rename these files to the correct title and you will be able to see it if you expand the results. And third, if you can find verified hashes for these files, you will save yourself a headache.
Just use verified hashes and you'll never get this problem again.

Again- it happens. Use verifieds and always mouse over your files to make sure that file and title match.
And DELETE fakes, or name them as fakes. I once got a bad copy of Austin Powers and forgot to delete it, and when I came back all these people had d/l'ed it from me.
Oopz.

i think he qouted the wrong person! :rtfm: :D :lol: B) :P
People who post fakes must think that it is funny. Just remember that if you receive another to post it on the forum under "FAKES" this way we can all avoid it. :angry:
they got rid of fake section (those bastards)
i was one of the few poeple who said it should stay
but hey
Well..why have a fakes section when you could scroll through the verefieds? ;)

Tips for finding verified movies:
After about 10 megs or 10% of the total DL of the movie, use Avipreview and see if its your movie. Click the screen of Avipreview and an Index should pop up with some info. If the video or audio part has 0 (zero), then its a fake.
After searching and thinking you have enough users, expand the list so you can see all the users for that file by clicking the "+" box to the left of the title and scroll down and check to see if the filenames match up to the movie your looking for and read the yellow description boxes that pop up too. Sometimes it will say if its a fake or not.
Look at the length of the movie. A trick I learned awhile ago is that any movie with the length of 1:02:08 is a fake.
Check the file size of the movie. Make sure its reasonable. Sometimes the movie is split into two or three parts for easier downloading.
Check the hashes in the verifieds. That will usually say if a movie is out or not and will usually tell of its quality. Always check the verifieds first before looking for a movie which will save you some time.
