What the fuck is the use of having a password on files you want to share? It’s just dumb as it’s eventually when someone actually have it on a non password stream/BT to share to the rest of the world and or someone actually repacking it up and redistributing it as a whole file.

It isn’t even a movie or TV show bittorrent file I am talking about. I know those files get this kind of treatment all the time to drive temporary traffic to these guys website using the excuse of what? To protect their privacy and the downloader’s privacy.  What nonsense? It’s like those forums where you actually have to click on “Yes, I’m above 18 years old” to register or tick on the 3 screen longs “Agreement” to pass that time wasting page. Anyone below 18 years old know they have to click to bypass that and or putting a tick to agree. What’s the point then? Protect the website hosting that actual forum? It’s not even porn sites, from technology forums to just some talk shop.

So back to the password-ed BT files. If the CIA or FBI or any organisation that wants to catch the seeder/ person providing that file, do you think they do not have the brains or technologies to like, guess your passwords? No wonder people say people are dumb…I an google and found a actual RAR file cracks in seconds. Organisations that are trying to get these people most probably have something of miltary grade and can crack the password if they can’t get the passwords from the “Instructions” which was provided in my rar file. It typically tells you to:

1. Go to this webpage, some dumb page that may not even load for the matter.

2. Enter your email address, with bold underlined text saying it doesn’t have to be your email address. It’s like WTF?!

3. On the next page, there’ll be green text, that’ll be your password oh and or some puzzle fun, take the first 2 characters, add that to _ _ U P I D. hmmm, let’s see. oh yes. It’s stupid.

So what’s more efficient? SPAM to get traffic to their sites? I do not know why they want traffic to their site in the first place when people will be providing bogus email address in the first place and any simple javascript checker for forms will only detect if there’s a dot (.), a com, a net or .org or whatever with a @ and something, anything before the @.

And by the way, I was downloading a lesser known Linux distribution I saw on Distrowatch and found a BT seed on Mininova through Google.
