Troyan Horse of Carribean

[arpad]

Day after release of Pirates of Carribean, on e-mule search appeared several files with many sources of download named like Pirates.of.the.Caribbean.Dead.Mans.Chest.CAM-HYdRO-CD2.avi.

Looks quite promising? Alas, content of these files was just movie trailer and garbage tail.

I bet the diversion was done by dreaded cthulhu copyright holders. The trick works like that:

- make them download several days
- let them see that they downloaded wrong thing and it took them almost a week
- and this wrong thing contains a trailer, so now they are salivating
- next weekend is coming
- to hell with it, let's go to the movie theatre
- bingo!

Interesting development isn't it?

Of course these pro pirates will find right name in right sites first. But they are few...

There's one thing I don't understand about AudioBooks on e-mule. Suppose there's a book called 'Zanoza' and it comes on two CDs. Naturally, e-mule will index two files, Zanoza-CD1.zip and Zanoza-CD2.zip. Now, how come that in many cases one of the two files will be much rarer than the other one, and will take much longer to download? Do some people hold just one half of the book?

Fluctuations most probably. And e-mule sharing of half-finished files should affect it too...
