What is it like to be a fake uploader?

...I have been askeding myself for a long time. What makes people do this? It obviously isn't solely the professional business of anti-p2p companies. Often you find copyrighted material just renamed, porn, and sometimes very benign or even funny stuff. So what's the motivation behind it? As I couldn't ask anybody, I just tried it myself. And I know I shouldn't say this publicly, but it was (and still is) quite amusing.

With my small 0.5 Mbit/s uplink I'm right now shooting 20 times as much digital garbage per second around the globe from Iran to Iceland to the US to Singapore, and beyond. Trend still rising. I'm stunned how easy it is tp make people across the globe send garbage to each other at these blazing speeds. And that by just by raising their hope of getting something very hot for free.

So what's going on and what made those people do this? Read up! More details soon...

Edit: Added the whole Pirate Bay discussion to the comment section, as TPB just went offline.

Wow, and no ones commented on here yet. I have heard of companies putting out fake "items" to see how "hot" their product is. I don't think this one reached more than a 100 leachers where as let say a movie by axxo (a very popular movie seeder) hit's 700 in a day. Well done from a sociality point of view, although some shit brain did the same last week but maliciously.

you my friend are an asshole....

I don't think you're an asshole, it was a control and interesting experiment. Happily most people on the planet don't rip shit off. The animosity that arose throughout the PirateBay comments goes to show the the general mentality of the pirating community. Which is low brow and insatiable. It's as if the pirates have convinced themselves they have every right to rip shit off, to steal. Where in fact they are only hiding behind the anonymity of the world wide web. No doubt if they were publicly pointed out, identified, their views and behavior would be quite different. Makes you wonder who your neighbors really are!

An excellent point. I think you missed the main issue though, Nobody likes a lying sneaky bastard who tests his friends. It would be like leaving some money lying on the floor only to chastise someone for picking it up. Maybe we should all be careful what we test each other for. It might end up biting you in the ass.

I'm not his friend, I have no idea who this is, nor do I want to know. Experiments along these lines have been conducted for years testing mankind, hell the whole torrent thing could be one gigantic experiment to see how much people do steal or to see if giving products away (via anonymous download) effects profits. I say bravo.

Original 8 page discussion about the torrent at The Pirate Bay:

nanaky at 2007-10-19 16:51 CET:
Can any one check if is real or not? (without saying fake before even downloading it)

omiazad at 2007-10-19 16:57 CET:
I cannot even download the .torrent file. :( why?

nanaky at 2007-10-19 17:01 CET:
I can download the .torrent without any problem. Downloading now. Will say if its real as soon as is done (which will take a day or two i guess). Please, some one verify as soon as possible.

golfpro at 2007-10-19 17:02 CET:
fAkers_annOy_Me is rather like the 'boy who cried wolf'. You tend to disregard anything he says, as he's saying it everywhere.

Getting past talking about the 'village idiot', I would be happier if the ULer had an established rep on here for uploading stuff.

nanaky at 2007-10-19 17:04 CET:
golfpro

We all would be happy about that... but that's not the case. So I say, lets trust till we prove it to be fake. I am excited! Hope its "the real deal".

golfpro at 2007-10-19 17:07 CET:
I tend to agree.

yassir at 2007-10-19 17:13 CET:
Why is the dmg file 2 gigs? And what is the "passphrase" file?

pellypels at 2007-10-19 17:29 CET:
/9a581.dmg 2 GiB
/passphrase.rtf 865 B

What do you think?
Alice In Wonderlame!

jaco3700 at 2007-10-19 17:32 CET:
The dmg is 6.1 GB. But i dont think it is real on the other hand you never now.

tads at 2007-10-19 17:34 CET:
The .dmg file is 6.1 GB, build 9a559 was 6.22 GB, so?! Don't think it's real, but still maybe.

Says he got it from his boss and it's still encrypted.. Saaaaad story! ;-)

golfpro at 2007-10-19 17:41 CET:
Point taken. But a little (any) detail as to WHY you thought it was a fake (as with the other guys), would have made you look far more genuine as regards your comments.

golfpro at 2007-10-19 17:51 CET:
If you're assuming that everyone should someone know this is a fake, why bother with your warning. I was wrong admitted, but that logic is loppy frankly.

Dimkap at 2007-10-19 18:00 CET:
passphrase.rtf

Original Mac OS X 10.5 9A581 as my company got it from Apple. It is still encrypted, so use the following passphrase for mounting:

h9ZW!2bFkmV3FKmL@af@&m

My boss would kill me if he knew I did this! ! He is such a fucking whore! Hope this shithouse gets sued when Apple recognizes their passphrase and this motherfucker gets fired, sued and assassinated. Luckily I never accessed this file directly on our network. They thought it is safe as nobody would know the passphrase. I'm surrounded by retards.

Have fun!

golfpro at 2007-10-19 18:05 CET:
If we're all want to be English teachers, it should be ...'not because they are used TOO much'.

And the post from 'DIMKAP' does look like crap.

golfpro at 2007-10-19 18:08 CET:
It was a typo. Loopy.

s1tyak at 2007-10-19 18:09 CET:
fake dmg

the file is filled with zeros

golfpro at 2007-10-19 18:12 CET:
Strange hobby to have. Posting fake torrents.

Dimkap at 2007-10-19 18:16 CET:
golfpro

I just download rtf and post it there

rubyonnails3000 at 2007-10-19 19:34 CET:
Hi guys,

gee, so much bad faith on this board. Unbelievable. Even bare and instantly disprovable lies (s1tyak). You are strange folks. Hope everybody will be happy tomorrow morning.

i belive in you :)

Pivni Pes at 2007-10-19 19:50 CET:
Let the dog piss.
When it is fake, why are there 25 l leechers?

Pivni Pes at 2007-10-19 19:51 CET:
Is this a beta version?

cmaus at 2007-10-19 20:03 CET:
OK, CAN ANYONE SERIOUSLY VERIFY IF THIS IS FAKE?

I AM STILL DOWNLOADING, BECAUSE I USED A HEY EDITOR AND HAVE NO IDEA IF THE FILE IS ONLY FILLED WITH ZEROS...

Ssargon at 2007-10-19 20:09 CET:
I have checked and the file is NOT filled with zeroes. The parts that havent been downloaded yet is sure to be filled with zeroes. Thats just the way some bittorrentclients work...


Ssargon at 2007-10-19 20:10 CET:
Just to add the fact that I used an hex editor as well. The files seams okay for now but I havent gotten more than 4% of it...

rubyonnails3000 at 2007-10-19 20:12 CET:
Depending on your client incomplete files are always filled with zeroes. That's the parts you are still missing. Check the parts that you have already downloaded.

kevinm1 at 2007-10-19 20:23 CET:
Sounds legit from the rtf. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE SEEDER.

kevinm1 at 2007-10-19 20:25 CET:
Sounds like is boss his an a-hole as well :) praise teh disgruntled employee!

kevinm1 at 2007-10-19 20:26 CET:
whoa, my grammar went downhill, but thanks rubyonnails!

cmaus at 2007-10-19 20:57 CET:
@ s1tyak: Well, I guess as long as you haven't downloaded any data yet, your file indeed IS empty, means containing zeros! :-/

albinoz at 2007-10-19 21:00 CET:
what soft with did you check to see dmg is filled 0 ??

cmaus at 2007-10-19 21:04 CET:
@rubyonnails3000: Is the passphrase really correct and working? Have you tested it yourself?

golfpro at 2007-10-19 23:07 CET:
Seems that fAkers_annOy_Me after calling this a fake has now removed all his posts.

_fAkers_annOy_Me_ at 2007-10-19 23:31 CET:
No looks like they listened to you , you daft bastard. So Im having to use some Hide Ip jiggerypokery just to write this. I still think its fake tho....

albinoz at 2007-10-19 23:32 CET:
I Hope so is not fake !!
9a559 sucks in FullScreen

But is not the final ?
is Gold master will / was finish(ed) in Apple Laboratory ?

Safariarkiv at 2007-10-20 00:23 CET:
Would like instructions on how to install without burning to DVD, since I have the cheapest MacBook...

xenakis at 2007-10-20 01:14 CET:
NOT zeroed (checked)
perhaps real !
I LL DLing...

Dimkap at 2007-10-20 01:48 CET:
I try to create empty encrypted dmg image and it's not zeroed too....

anders_b at 2007-10-20 02:01 CET:
haha... ffs.. do you really need instructions on burning this to a dvd? use google.. or get a life.

you can do a restore via Discutility to a 6,5gig partition and install from there.. there are instructions for that too. as i said use google you lazy people. Good luck!

anders_b at 2007-10-20 02:17 CET:
okay.. i will help you out this time..
google for "Installing Leopard From DMG" pick the top one..

Ssargon at 2007-10-20 02:32 CET:
_fAkers_annOy_Me_: Posting "Fake" when you actually have no idea shows that you cant be trusted. It may still be fake but if you dont know you should atleast provide some argument for it being fake and then not act like its already determined to be false...

idiotvig at 2007-10-20 02:55 CET:
Would love to read from someone that this is a real file. Still, no harm no foul - it's just a download. Buying my copy on 10/26 even if this is legit.

ClarkCable at 2007-10-20 03:00 CET:
The DL speed has dropped down to zero, nada null.

rubyonnails3000 at 2007-10-20 03:12 CET:
I'm still uploading at 55kB/s. So it should continue soon.

I went offline for a couple of minutes to update my client. Someone was sending me huge amounts of invalid packets which caused null pointer exceptions in my old Azureus.

I updated to the most recent version and now everything is fine again.

Patience :)

Ssargon at 2007-10-20 03:19 CET:
It will take a day or two to get this home. After that someone needs to compare the version with the betas so it can be ruled out that its not one of those.

kevinm1 at 2007-10-20 03:52 CET:
Thanks for the heads up rubyonnails, i was getting really worried here.

bobtentpeg at 2007-10-20 05:28 CET:
I beleive the guy.

I know apple gave out the GM build to certain companies, especially since i happen to know someone from one of said companies and got ot from them, sonce the ADC panel was lacking :D

liq456 at 2007-10-20 06:35 CET:
rubyonnails3000 please super seed :)

paik at 2007-10-20 06:47 CET:
I read that Apple internally released another Leopard build, 9A599, post-GM. Anybody have a clue about that?

bradfantin at 2007-10-20 07:03 CET:
im dling now, im about 20 percent done, not too bad only started a few hours ago (about 5). I hope this is the real deal like this guy says it is. I know in a few weeks ill find the money to actually buy leopard, but for now, id like to try it out. Also, if anyone finishes before meh, wanna tell if its a beta build from a month ago or something :S. thatd suck!! I want this to be my primary OS, not a test build of the system! well, good luck to all who are ahead of me with downloading it. hope it's legit!

iothxi at 2007-10-20 07:07 CET:
for some reason 9A557 was misquoted as 9A599 on some news sites. there is no release 9A599, and any reference to 9A599 is actually referring to 9A557. not sure why the mistake happened, but so it is.

looking forward to seeing if this is real!

silversurfer9999 at 2007-10-20 07:33 CET:
Just one question to anyone that can answer. Is it possible to upgrade with this or you have to do a clean install? I viewed the demo video, and on the DVD used it said "upgrade." Is there a special one for upgrading only?

tads at 2007-10-20 08:22 CET:
Hey rubyonnails3000, won't you show us a screenshot of the build number?! :-) For those who can't just have faith!

_fAkers_annOy_Me_ at 2007-10-20 09:26 CET:
Still sounds fake to me.

1. Its undersize
2. Why would Apple send the Master out to people
3. Is rubyonnails3000 the employee with the bad English calling his boss a whore - who actually says that for a bloke
4. I would have thought every warez group in the land would have wanted this. All of a sudden a random employee happens on PB to up it. All very convenient
5. No other txt/word/files with the dmg...just a shit rtf
6. The employee cant be that clever, the encrypted number will be registered to a name so he will get spotted straight away, you cant just borrow a really important DVD and copy it...

Still sounds fake to me...I hope it is cos there are a few people going to look silly...

dagonikko at 2007-10-20 09:31 CET:
His English is bad because he is seeding from Germany by using a popular ADSL provider.

TomKnock at 2007-10-20 09:50 CET:
What speaks for this being real is, that Apple incudes lost of debugging-code in the betas and pre-relaese versions, wich is removed when building the Gold Master. So until prooven otherwise I belive this is real.

Anyway, as another poster said no harm done if it's not, I'll report back when I get it all down, but until then "Thank you So much Ruby" :-)

I was so happy when DL'ing the empty version posted some days ago, I've learned my lesson and am now just happy if it's real, and cool about it, if it's not :) But it should be released to ADC members by now, shouldn't it? Theres a good chance it real I think!

I really really hope it's real, I'd *love* to play with it before my copy comes in the mail.

To the poster who asked about installing without burning to DVD, did you figure something out? If not let me know, and I'll post more info to help you out, OK?

TomKnock at 2007-10-20 09:54 CET:
Wow, nice speed on this one, I'm getting 240 kB/sec right now, cool! Thank you again Ruby :)

If it's real, I'll dedicate all of my 2 Mbit/sec upload for seeding, for as long as anyone's interested! Share the wealth :)

sox at 2007-10-20 10:04 CET:
Real or not - it's really slow!! 1,2 GB in around 13 h... average dl 20 kbps... 40 h left until I can say if it's a fake... as soon as anyone tries it let us know...

sox at 2007-10-20 10:14 CET:
if someone knows any other place where this is shared, please post here... since this looks like it could take forever. rubyonnails3000 probably has a slow connection...?

golfpro at 2007-10-20 10:45 CET:
I'm hoping its real. See little point in the 'hoping its fake' attitude some have on here. I guess we'll find out sometime tomorrow one way or another.

lillegubben at 2007-10-20 11:02 CET:
wasted time and bandwidtch, the GM is the build 9A581 and apple don't send it to developpers

sox at 2007-10-20 11:23 CET:
lillegubben what tells you this is not 9a581?

__fAkers_annOy_Me__ at 2007-10-20 11:53 CET:
He has a brain and common sense. What makes you so sure this is real. A file from someone you dont know, with a rtf written by a dyslexic 6 yr old. Sometimes things that are too good to be true.....usually are.....look at the way word spreads...up to 106 peers now because of all the air heads...do I want it to be a fake...Nah course not...but I know it will be....the uploader is awfully quiet

It's strange some are getting such poor speeds, I'm getting a consistent 120 -200 Kbit/s with 7 hrs to go ... odd.

I agree that definite proof would be awesome, but I have a server for stuff like this, so I'm not bothered by letting this DL on that, if it's real - cool, if not - meh :)

One thing is for sure, We'll have Leopard installed and running well before the 26th, I can guarantee that :) When the real thing emerges, whether it's here or not, I'd take a close look at alt.binaries.mac.* :)

The GM version of 10.4 Tiger was out like 10 days before it got to the shops, so why can´t this be the real stuff?? In a few hours we will all know, so keep it cool meantime..

Clark, you're absolutely right. It could very well be the real deal, fingers crossed. I got burned by the fake one a couple of days ago, but I don't really care - if it's good - cool, if it's fake - ah what ever, I'll live and just do a line more, that'll fix my mood again he he :)

Could someone who got the whole file post it again since this one cant connect to the tracker or anything.

expanderz at 2007-10-20 16:12 CET:
For all the "Its Fake" saying idiots out there, for what its worth, we ALL know it could be FAKE.WE HAVE ALL BEEN BURNED MORE THAN ONCE. But out of respect to the seeder, just wait and see. By the way, he has continually exchanged comments with us since he first started the upload. Kudos to you rubyonnails3000 for sticking around.
Thanks for the share!

TomKnock at 2007-10-20 16:25 CET:
YEAH expanderz! Kudos to you and to Ruby, you're SO right! Well spoken!

rubyonnails3000 at 2007-10-20 16:31 CET:
Still timeouts for the TPB tracker... I could add an additional tracker. Can anybody recommend a site?

konelli at 2007-10-20 16:38 CET:
I'm getting timeouts on the tracker too now. Was fine before. And of course I lost the seeder in DHT. Damn!
Anyway, thanks rubyonnails!

rubyonnails3000,

Do you have a friend that you can take a copy of the torrent files to and have him seed as well? That would fix your problem real fast having two seeders.

rubyonnails3000 at 2007-10-20 17:22 CET:
I have added a secondary tracker. Try this:

http://torrentbox.com/torrent_details?id=137769

rubyonnails3000 at 2007-10-20 17:26 CET:
I hope this works. The torrent file at torrentbox includes two trackers now, the one here at TPB only its own.

__fAkers_annOy_Me__ at 2007-10-20 18:11 CET:
rubyonnails3000

Some questions for you chum

1. Are you the disgruntled employee - cos if you are, you are in a world of shit over this I bet - just search the title "Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard 9A581" in Google and see how many boards this is started to pop up on, and Im guessing Apple are onto you by now...but what the hey its your ass

2. Why is there no Readme.txt or anything, you know, a we know about this bug blah blah, and if there is not one, can you extract one out of the image. Can you mount the image and upload screenshots.

If you cant do this, well this puts doubts in my mind. Why ? Well if this is real, you have pulled off one of the biggest thefts this year.. and you are going down....lol...and if you cant take a screen shot, then this is as real as my 10 inch dick...

expanderz at 2007-10-20 18:12 CET:
Here is a quick tip for all of you that are not aware how torrents work:

As long as the seeder has not uploaded the complete file, no one will have really fast DL speeds.
If the torrent has reached say 30% and you have reached 30% then you will have a very small DL speed. Its the way it works, be patient.

Tek12 at 2007-10-20 18:17 CET:
Right... it's called super seeding.

konelli at 2007-10-20 18:28 CET:
__fAkers_annOy_Me__

If you don't mind me asking, _WHY_ are you here? Nobody forces you to download anything, nobody forces you to believe what you don't want to believe. Can't you just leave us alone?

expanderz at 2007-10-20 18:32 CET:
There's always a guy like this in every crowd, best thing is to just ignore him. Don't put fuel in his fire.

__fAkers_annOy_Me__ at 2007-10-20 18:34 CET:
Why ? well I dunno really lets see

1. I hate people uploading fake shit
2. I hate liars

So if this really is what it is, why is this guy not advertising better, if he can source new trackers why no screenshots, why no docs from the image.
And if it is what it is, I think he also needs to know that he is in the shit, because once someone has 100% its a world of pain if its real. And if you lot think you can hide with a safepeer plugin/peergaurdian when you are talking about something this big....well you are dafter than I look...lol

dompar at 2007-10-20 18:41 CET:
But anyway, have you tried the password ? I did. It refused it. Maybe it is because it is not complete. Maybe is it because it is not the right password?

I think we all understand what you have been saying,, 10 times. Personally i dont giva a fuck if this is fake or not, if its a fake, then its a fake,, so what! But sure, a screenshot of the install would be nice to solve all the unclear points..

Dompar how did you try it when no one has downloaded it ?

rubyonnails3000 at 2007-10-20 18:51 CET:
All I can say is, I'm connected to Asia via a VPN right now. The DSL account in Germany used for seeding is not mine and I cannot be connected to it.

This whole deal is just to show off the boss of a friend of mine and to have some fun. For that reason we also didn't contact any groups or anything like that. We didn't want to get in touch with any organized or criminal circles, money and all this shit.

For some of the people ranting at me. Who are you to set conditions? I don't owe you anything! Take it or leave it. I don't care. In fact, you might owe me soon... ;)

dompar at 2007-10-20 18:51 CET:
at 35% of the download the diskimage-helper is working and asks for the password to open the DMG. It could accept the password and then fail to open the dmg, that would be logical. Or refuse the password? It refuses he password. I don't draw any conclusion. Try, you will se.

__fAkers_annOy_Me__ at 2007-10-20 19:00 CET:
lol...If you think you cant be traced to this shit think again mate. If there was no serial number involved Im sure you would be better off. But I hope you know once this is taken off your hands, the groups will have it and hence so will everyone else.

And no, you dont owe anybody anything, but if you have gone this far, whats a screenshot ?

I wont owe you fuck all mate....

Certain posters will be deeply disappointed if this turns out to be the real deal. Sad isn't it.

__fAkers_annOy_Me__: you have got to be the most petty, childish user Ive seen on this site.

http://thepiratebay.org/user/__fAkers_annOy_Me__/

Never created a torrent and shared it? Maybe you owe the community a little more then you think.

You are no expert, and nothing you say carries anymore weight then anyone else. On top of this, there is no possible way you can know if its fake or not, but persist in yelling your clearly bias option to anyone what will listen.

When you have something to say that isn't complete conjecture, or insults, then consider posting again.

golfpro at 2007-10-20 19:27 CET:
..and I'm almost beginning to think you work for Apple __fAkers_annOy_Me__ ,the lengths you are going to put people off this torrent.

__fAkers_annOy_Me__ at 2007-10-20 19:33 CET:
golfpro...you are such a dick.You gave me shit for putting fake next to about 6 films that got posted yesterday. Strangely enough they have all gone now...but anyway.

You know as well as I do people will continue to download this, If I had a Mac I probably would to, but at the end of the day, This sort of shit comes through the newsgroups, nobody is this stupid to post a GM of an OS...with only an RTF to go by....where did he get the Rtf from, did his friend Email it with the image...its all bollox and you know it.

tpbdontbugme2

Well your torrents are inspiring I have to say. Your comments are not, whats childish about wanting a screenshot. There are thousands of dicks on this site who are seeding aXXo films just now because they trust no one else. Yet, we have 60 odd people here willing to download 6 Gb for fuck all. Wanting a bit of evidence is not only grown up, its bloody obvious.

golfpro at 2007-10-20 19:39 CET:
YOU'RE NOT EVEN A MAC USER? WTF!!!! Why don't you just MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS and bugger off back to the windows section then, instead of just trying to stir up trouble here.

And NO I don't know it. Now sod off back to the Windows torrents, theres a good chap.

tpbdontbugme2 at 2007-10-20 19:39 CET:
__fAkers_annOy_Me__

Because its not the way you would do things, that makes it "bollox"?
Because the uploader hasnt told you the entire story, the company they took it from, and whatever other stupid details you want, makes it "bollox"?

Listen, YOU DONT KNOW. WE DONT KNOW.

You have a guess, one you are entitled to.

You think its fake.

We heard you the first time, and we don't care. There is no need to fill the comments with your unfounded claims.

rubyonnails3000,

The password does not seem to work. I've got all the header and trailer bytes of the DMG file and it still says authentication error when I input the password you gave. Any idea? Thanks

golf_pro_loves_the_cock at 2007-10-20 19:59 CET:
You wont get fuck all mate. All his best mates will back him up as well....jeesshhh...and they wont have the bollox to say they were wrong. They will probably say, oh well it was only 6 gb....twats...and lets not harrass the uploader, yeah yeah...just click on all the comments to see the vast array of torrents they have all uploaded. Thats cos they dont have a clue..

sith250 at 2007-10-20 20:57 CET:
I'm showing zero seeders on either tracker (TPB and the TB). Whats the deal?

Tek12 at 2007-10-20 21:12 CET:
You're not connected to the seeder.

sith250 at 2007-10-20 21:16 CET:
So HOW do I "connect to the seeder"? I've tried grabbing the torrent from this tracker as well as the other one. Either one shows zero seeds in Azureus. Help...

neuronhaunt99 at 2007-10-20 21:26 CET:
Hey folks.

Just a word to the wise, once you've fully downloaded this file. There is more than one option in regards to installing Leopard. Here's mine.

To install this:

1. Find yourself an external hard drive.
2. Use Disk utility to format and partition that drive. (GOTTA BE GUID)
3. Create two partitions. One for the install (i always give it more room than i have to - 10 gigs.) The other partition is the rest of your drive, if you plan on installing on said drive.
4. Now, restore the install image onto the install partition.
5. Install.

Best regards, and don't forget, it's better to give than to receive.

PS - if you're still scratching your head on install methods, pull up the comments on the older leopard builds. Lot's of good advice.


Tek12 at 2007-10-20 21:28 CET:
The seeder can only connect to so many peers. Seeing the seeder said himself he can only upload at 55k/s, it would make sense that 90% of peers on this torrent wouldn't be able to connect to him. Do some reading up on the bitorrent protocol. :)

sith250 at 2007-10-20 21:40 CET:
I see. I've been downloading torrents for about 5 years now. Never fully understood how it work. Never really cared in some respects. I simply download a file and seed it double after it completes. Simple as that.

__fAkers_annOy_Me__ at 2007-10-20 21:42 CET:
Hey Folks

Just a word to the WISER...

Dont format fuck all till you find out this is real...

Couple more points to ponder on..

1. How do you get to seed on a ADSL account in Germany if its not yous
2. If the guy really wanted to drop the Boss in the shit, would he not name the company
3. How did his boss get the Image files, does it not come on a DVD, how does it end up arriving as an image ?
4. Is there no copy protection/serial Numbers for Mac software once you have installed it ?
5. How do you manage to steal an Image file from your boss, and luckily have a friend who can secretly upload it on PB, but has not uploaded anything else ?

The list goes on, Im not a big fan of conspiracy theory's, but this one is up there with WMDs...

neuronhaunt99 at 2007-10-20 21:50 CET:
rofl.

Faker, you're, what we call here on the planet xorbon, an 'asshat'.

We are all aware that this may be a fake. You don't need to 1. State the obvious, and 2. Stretch your very small brain thinking of improbable scenarios as to why this MUST be a fake.

Now, go back to downloading midget porn. The adults want their comments back.

Please...
I agree that this BT sounds a bit weird, but why do you care? you dont even have a mac, dont you have anything better to do than hanging here pissing people off. Everybody here understands that this might be a FAKE, but its not any big deal. It´s just a win win or maybe loose situation..

__fAkers_annOy_Me__ at 2007-10-20 21:57 CET:
And you are what I would call a boring twat...I bet you sit there with a cardigan and a pipe telling everyone how good the Mac is....guffaw

No wonder all you Apple Mac twats are getting a hard on for a fake OS, there is fuck all else for you lot to download for it. At least I can spend all day to download stuff so my XP can look like your stuff..... ;p

And as for Adults, do me a favor, none of you have a clue about what is real or not....carry on in your little dream...

Oh yeah, I was reading up in some forums, cant remember open Mac ones anyway, about as exciting as cancer, and they all said Apple released this internally if at all, to stop this shit. So either this is really bollox...or someone has big cahonas... the best bit about the forums, is all you sad Mac twats are getting excited about a Leopard T shirt....lol

sith250 at 2007-10-20 21:59 CET:
Man... you need to get a life! Sheesh! We ALL get it dude! This COULD be fake. WE DON'T CARE!!! As soon as one of us finally finishes this download, you can bet your ass we will be reporting here if it is real or fake. Go find someone else to annoy!

sith250 at 2007-10-20 22:01 CET:
Tek12, why does it say "Connection Error (timeout)" in Azureus?

rubyonnails3000 at 2007-10-20 22:04 CET:
Sadly the nice, and relaxed people around here are wrong and the cholerics are right.

Before people get pissed of even more. Here are all the answers:

Maybe it suffices at least for some weary smiles... :)
