why? No reliable answer for people's behaviour

I'd guess some kid thought by changing the name the parent's wouldn't notice. I'd hate to think the porn industry is luring kids, but that would surprise me somewhat.

This is why it's a good idea to preview the file a few megs innto the download, and/or to check it out by right (control on Macs)-clicking the file and doing a Bitzi lookup.

That can save wasting a lot of download time
