RE: bittorrent troubles
Update:
Some people have been making torrents with names of popular downloads, but don't actually contain that, just dummy files are in the torrent. They add these to metasearch sites, but give false statistics about the torrent to make it seem more attractive, such as number or seeds/leechers, as there are often other similar downloads available. These false torrents are seeded, but a tiny bit of the torrent is left out so that nobody will ever finish it, but they will waste their time and bandwidth, downloading it and uploading it to others.
