Default why do people change the name of films you download

i downloaded what i thought was the lion witch and the wardrobe and when i started watching it it was a porn film i find this really disgusting as i have children and if they had played the film it would have been very disterbing for them i have got the hosts ip number and think the person resonsable should not be able to share their files

Default Wondering : there's one other approach to misnamed files

That's a good idea .. [it's also a good idea to report such traps & scams to Bitzi- see the sticky topic here somewhere ...]

You can always just wait til a meg or 3 have downloaded and 'Preview' the file ... - you can obviously tell pretty fast whether it has got the correct title ... And it sure beats DL'ing 700MB before finding out.

I'd also recommend you watch out for Win Media WMV files that may have 'DRM' - there are many dangers there (I posted a 'warning' at http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27031 which explains it all - but, at a *minimum* you can get a file you *can't* use, no matter what !)


[Hot enough for you today ? ]

Just remember. When you use a P2P program, you are connecting into someone's computer. There are people (trash) out there with nothing better to do, and they are publishing virii and garbage files. Just block them. Soon, they will not be able to dl nothing so they will get the message.

At THAT point, you can chat to them or just ban them ....
