fakes, such as Sumotorrent and Seedpeer. I've seen quite
a few that looked fishy on TorrentReactor, and none of
those seemed to have any comments. And on BTJunkie, you'll
find plenty of fakes, especially with newer movies. But
those get outed as fakes pretty quickly by the site's
regular users. Really, do you expect a torrent with 800+
seeds and 4000+ peers to be genuine? Most of those on BT
Junkie like that aren't.

»[Newsgroups] Need suggestions for good $15 a month?

OK now you'll need a program to use them grabit is but ok but download newsLeecher. OK now you got to get a site that lets you search for stuff. I use »www.newzleech.com/

Now just search for your anime and you see it download the NZB it's like a BT link file. Your file will download and you just unzip it and away you go. Also you will want a par fixer I use quickpar. Most of your downloads will have bad parts and the par files fix them up.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19848880 Mon, 21 Jan 2008 21:05:32 EDT Re: The End of Torrents? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19848481 nfx :

Lots of boards got threads like this, and almost all of em get started by noob .tor dl'ers...

Read the fuckin' comments; if they don't post comments there at whatever site your at, then hop on over to the dozens and dozens of sites that do allow comments, look for your .tor link, and see if they like it, legit, w.e.

Then go back to your homesite and DL...but of course, in doing this, you'll more then likely be a new member of the comments allows board...lol.

Epidemic is Lime/Frostwire showing you 20 results to files of 1kb to 200kb when all you searched for was a 3 and a half minute track by "Nas- If I ruled the World".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19847304 Mon, 21 Jan 2008 17:28:38 EDT Re: The End of Torrents? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19847244 Mentat : This is nothing new.

Don't just haphazardly download bullshit, do some investigating if this is a big issue for you.

Of the last 100 torrents I've pulled from public tracker sites, maybe 2 of them were bullshit. Everything else was gravy.

to download what I thought was an anime OVA (Original Video
Animation), but turned out to be cheap a** pr0n like the kind
you get when you decode a Domplayer or 3WPlayer fake. In fact,
it likely was a 3W fake that someone decoded and re-seeded in
order to scam people into downloading it.

Oh well, I wasted 600 MB worth, and killed my ratio on it (it
was a public tracker, IIRC, and that was the only file I got
from it).

I generally only download anime from BitTorrent, and check
comments when I can, and have never encountered a fake file
until now.

Apparently not by the MPAA or RIAA but by shysters who trick you into downloading a movie which requires you to "join" some site in order to get a password which may or may not work and then the movie if often not what you wanted.

Usually, it's RAR files. RAR files, which are unneeded by the vast majority of torrent files, can be password protected by 128bit encryption (hard to break). Another trick is to download the file as an *.avi only to have the instructions tell you to rename it as a *.rar and join a porn/free offers/ web site, etc. (with the posters referral number) in order to get the password which, again, often does not lead you to the movie.

It seems to becoming endemic these days, the fake torrents. It happened on eMule (which I've stopped using) and now it's happening on torrents. If the torrent indexes do not take action to block rar files and allow users to mark hoax uploads as such, the days of torrenting for "fun" are going to be over. Imagine that. The MPAA/RIAA fails at limiting torrents and instead the whole idea is brought down by spammers & shysters.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19836101 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 19:44:02 EDT
