There are a lot of fake torrents roaming around the net these days.Even the torrent that may look real might be password protected or something else. This is what people had to say in other forums.

Because of all this I have found a tutorial that helps a lot in identifying how a torrent is.

Why we have spam or fake torrents? Ok we have 1000+ new torrents daily. So we cant check all this incoming staff. We trying make our site clear but its not so simple. And of course we have some bad torrents so that’s why i create this topic to help detect bad staff.

So here suggestions:

1) First you must look at – its torrent files list.

a) If you download movie and files list has 1 archive (*.rar, *.zip, *.tar, *.gz etc) – its probably fake. Bcos there is no reason to archive binary (archived by codecs) video. But if only 50 archives (*.r01, *.r02 …) – its can be good torrent.
b) If you see in files text documents (*.txt, *.doc, *.htm, *.html, *.pdf) read all them before:
- if this files have name like “how to open this”, “How to play movie”, “read this before extract”, “visit URL to get password”, “how to get password”, “Help and FAQ about movie” – its fake.
- if this text files have good file name just download ONLY this files and read them (before download movie!!!). So you can download only text before start download movie, read this doc and if it has any words about visiting other sites to get password – its fake

2) Look at trackers list. If it have many trackers and only 1 of them live – its very strange. Update seeds and leechers stats. Same again? Why other trackers not track it now? Yes maybe this is fake. But its not 100% sure about this. But try avoid. Its 50%/50%.

3) Look at comments. If someone say – its fake! i think do not download this. And of course ask about quality or fake in comments.

4) look at torrent size. It can help you detect bad staff too. Small size of movie can be strange too.

I hope this will help you a little to detect FAKE.
