I don’t recall my last nick used on Emule forum, so I’ve found this one still in use. Emule user since the very beginning and it remains the very best and only client for my taste.
Never had any issues, however, lately I’m experiencing rather strange enigma, and I wanted to share my curiosity with you. Perhaps more elaborate research of your topics would grant me some clues, perhaps, this is not very special case at all, but it is certainly news to me.
Since the end of the last year, at least twice a month, exactly the same material that I never wanted, never downloaded as my choice, constantly finds its way to my Incoming Files folder. I’ve made a habit since long ago to always look into details, to verify the size, and make sure what I’m downloading - is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
And this is what is most strange - material is exactly 1.36 GB in size. And for example, material that was verified to be 350 MB, or even smaller, that was verified to be of genuine title, after downloaded, suddenly becomes this fake 1.36 GB material. Is there any rational explanation for this? Perhaps, something that is consistent with experience from other users? If this would be some "world hit" material, I would understand some "promotional" scheme for someone to disguise it.
I know that everyone has downloaded at least once a fake find, but usually when you look into the details/name, at least one will provide you with hint, that is something is wrong. What makes me curios is that what seem to be a genuine download, of entirely different size, random file, once it is finished, reappears as mentioned 1.36 GM material. How can something "find me" so many times, disguised in what seem to be verified as entirely opposite file? And most of all - why? Is there some "trigger" within Emule, a bug perhaps, that uses some weakness? Although, for life of me, I don’t get the point of "diabolical purpose" being completely boring, insignificant material from 2013. one I would probably never even hear about it.
I have no issues with my OS/software or Emule as such, just this enigma, that is happening since end of 2014. Also, using the last version of Emule, I use secure servers, with all recommended settings, also, after search is over, I’m strictly using KAD.
I haven’t been damaged in any way, this is certainly not the world’s greatest problem, but I would really like to understand the nature of why is this happening now on regular basis, and since it is always the same file, how can this be possible, even after I make sure details/name says opposite?
Thank you for your patience and your suggestions
