Default [goat] (in file extention name)

Can anyone tell me what a .[goat] extension means on a file. I cant seem to find a reference for it anywhere.

A simple Google Search would have found something like this which explans in detail what they are used for.

Sorry didnt explain it properly. The files Im tryin to download all have the .[goat] after the name. They are avi files, there seems to be tons of hosts but I cant get a proper dowload. I was wondering if it is because of this .[goat] suffix. Any help greatly appreciated.

It appears to be a release group. I managed to get just a couple results. They seem to be mostly for torrent files. Try googling "[goat] torrents".

Use Bitzi Web Lookup to check files before d/loading.

Man I missed on this one big time, But I did Learn what Goat files are and how they are used in the AV World. Would hate to be a Goat. .
Although they are tasty little critters on the Bar-B.

Don't worry.

It's with the sheep where you need to be extra careful...

They gossip !
