Fake Torrents are killing P2P

How are you attempting to uncover/trace these 'fake' torrents? More importantly, have you found a pattern among them such that creating a basic profile of necessary criteria is possible in order to ID a fake torrent? What do their files actually consist of, content-wise? Do they use real bait (i.e. a viewable copy of the film listed under the torrent) with embedded code? Or does the file appear corrupt and not play at all?
Can you point to an example torrent? Which trackers have they used? Or do they create their own trackers? I'd like to see how well they cover their tracks. I'm curious as to what the .torrent file header and code looks like and also take the IP they use for seeding the file to run a bounce trace to find an origin IP and its physical location.

as you probably know the movie industries and the feds are uploading fake torrents.when you download the torrent they record your ip and there ip and your activity.the torrent that they cought me downloading was War of the Worlds 2005 1080p AC3 Dolby 5.1ch Bluray PS3 Team.it is listed on btjunkie.i tried to look back in my peerblock log to get the ip but theres to many listed to point it out.

the torrents that i download are in no way detectable as fake.they are 100% working.the only fake part about them is the seeder who is most likely a anti P2P organization.

did you ever think you don't have the correct lists used? you most likeley didnt get nailed for downloading(a peer), but that as soon as you downloaded a single piece of the file you also become a seed for that torrent....you most likely were hit during that time... I was wondering if attempting to dl too many torrents at once does lag your comp down, and in turn will lag the pg2 program, maybe you overloaded the program? You did say that you had too many IP's blocked to figure out which IP may have hit you..? maybe too many lists and not the correct ones?

there are a lot of probabilities that could have happened.its hard to pinpoint.i have 22 lists enabled in peerblock and im sure it wasnt the programs fault it was mine for being careless.im not careless anymore i use a program called torrentprivacy it is basicly a vpn you can trust.i still use peerblock along with it.

I got busted years back for getting "The Lake House" (talk about adding insult to injury), and since then I never get movies from torrents. I'll get tv shows from a private torrent site, but never movies.
And I never use the Limewire/Kazaa/e-mule etc type of programs either.
If there's something I want I'll either buy it (MP3's on Amazon/Itunes) or I'll find Rapidshare/Megaupload links.
They're not 100% safe either, but the chances of getting busted, at least I would think, would skyrocket with torrents.
