Title: Bad files
Post by: ngllgn on September 08, 2007, 11:31:03 AM
I recently downloaded what appeared to the disk repiar utility program I was looking for. After Stuffit failed to open it, with the message that it was neither an .rar file as 'advertised' nor even a compressed file, I finally managed to open it, only to find that it was a Quicktime file in .aiff format called 'Ischemic Heart Disease'. Quicktime opened it as a sound file, with just 'white noise' on it.

Should I leave such misnamed  'bad' or misleading files in my aMule download folder for sharing, or remove them straight away, so that others do not waste time on them, as I have? [I don't wish to leech.]

Is there any way for me to determine which client originated this dud file so that I can put it on a blacklist not to trusted for more downloadable files, and would it make sense or not to take such a step?

Thanks.

Nick

You could leave it for a while in your hard drive and comment it as a fake file. There is no way to know who produced the file.
