Fakes And Irritant

F to all those who rename files and provide fake copies to up their participation level.

Here's a short list I have compiled that are fakes.
Most of them are 700+mb mimicking the divx file size
Most of them are the movie "half baked" instead of the real thing


Triple X [XXX][DIVX][Full].avi
Triple X [XXX].avi
Triple x.vin disel.divx.avi

Tears of the sun (DVD)(DIVX).avi
Tears of the sun.divx.avi
Tears of the sun.mpg
this is esp bad bec up to 25 chaps can be d/l the fake file


The Recruit-Movie.avi
The Recruit(1).avi


Here's my way of checking before complete download.
1. Use datview to create a mpeg file before complete d/l
2. Usually after 5-10% d/l of dat file, a short movie can be created.
3. Use virtual dub to recreate missing bits in the avi file
4. View the file


Hope some decent chaps out there can add to the list of fakes

What version of K-Lite are you using? The lastest K++ includes AVI-Preview, which can open the dat file directly for viewing while DL.

well it doesnt really matter much to me... since my connection is fast enough... i never check the preview of it... anywayz just in case i usually dl 2 - 3 of the same object just to be sure its right... and i always pick hte one w/ the highest kb...

surely if you are downloading 700Mb at a time your ISP will get suspicious
