Wrongly labelled files

[cronoklee]

I got 2 questions:

1. Why do people label files incorrectly? Example: you download a file that claims to be l*st series 2 episode 14 but turns out to be Asian porn? Why? What's in it for them? It seems completely pointless.

2. Why don't the people who download these files delete the files immediately?! There seems to always be more fake files flying around than good ones. Wots the deal? If everyone just deleted them straight away they couldn't spread and we'd have a decent little system here!

Can anyone help me out here?


Sorry we don't want to know specific file titles on this forum. Particularly if they're copyright files; Forum Rules (click here)

Mislabelling is a user issue. Checking the file as downlding is wise. Also, porn sites & others will use search titles to help advertise their sites. Such files are usually less than 30 MB in size however.

1. Movie download issues. Obviously a TV series is going to be smaller than a movie.

2. Get into the habit of using Bitzi to see if there's user feeback about particular files. How to use Bitzi Web Lookup

3. Try alternate search techniques to find what you're after. Can’t search well help

As you can see from the search below, there seems to be plenty. Also using a different search in the 2nd search, I was able to find more results. You'll also notice that the search results tallies have been automatically filtered by my past junk filter settings. Also notice I arranged my search results by size.
