Changing Filenames

[Gambo]

Even messaging the user asking politely if it's real doesn't help. Some people are so rude...

You have broadband and hate fakes. Imagine bein on dial-up, downloading a game for 3 days and it's fake.

I would just go buy it...3 days?

What if I don't like the game? Then it would be a waste of my money.

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?

I agree completely pw3n.
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.

yeah but he's new.
have mercy
come on man people do this cause of this stupid participation level crap they figure they can get a lot of people to download from them and raise their participation level if they just rename their copy of corky romano to some thing like Daredevil Xvid-dvd screener

a DareDevil screener so early?!? LOL but I have the CAM. It's okay quality. PM me and I can give you the the details or hashes (it is alright to PM hashes right? )
Here's a hint: it has 3 parts to it, ocj is next to the name and make sure our searching under DareDevil. All 3 parts are over 100 MB.

A MOD can also delete/edit this post if I have already given too much info.

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...

It's a good thing to change a fake's filename to suit its contents so that it can possibly inform a possible DL'er whether or not its a file they want.

No. not at all, thats a valid reason. Some people (actually,alot of people) however,diliberatly misrepresent the contents of a file either by title, or keyword. I mean you really gotta love it when you search by keyword and you come across a file that has 22 keywords, of which,maybe two may apply. I find this to be the case in an ever increasing numbers, but most apply to video or other types of movie files.. not so much on .mp3's One member commented in a post to my thread that I was "new", I got a chuckle outta that..while I may be "new" to kazaalite, I have to tell ya that I've been involved in P2P programs for a very long time. My bottom line here is that when you change filenames without a good reason, you hurt everyone that uses that network. Thats all I have.

That's very very true.
