Fake torrent

[loplop]

The torrent found at http://www.datorrents.com/torrents-details.asp?id=26652 is a fake torrent. The episode of School Day did not air and someone though it was funny to throw up a fake torrent.

It might have been unintentional...

So there is such thing as fake torrent??

I've not heard of exact definitions, but this is what I guess they mean(please do correct me if I'm wrong);

fake;
The name/description of the torrent doesn't match the actual downloaded content, it can be something completely different.
Or the uploader might simply have uploaded the wrong file by mistake(like with the above...).
That's the more innocent meaning of it, however...
It might also be malware/spyware, or whoever upped it might be using it to collect the ip-addresses of anyone connected. To do that they might also make sure there never appears a 'real' seed in order to keep recording.
Those are often uploaded on fake trackers as well, and this is often accompanied by the appearence of a lot of peers(seeds/leechers) because of the info given by the fake tracker.
Obviously most of those are unconnectable if you actually try to download it. However, the statistics on the page where you got the torrent should show a round zero of completed downloads...

Poisoned torrents;(again a wild guess_ _ )
Might be legitimate torrents from beginning but poisoned with pieces that cause hash fails en masse(usually hash values are used to check the integrity), or in more severe cases doesn't even show up in checks; 'hash collitions' ie the file(s) is compromised. Also used are md5 checksums, crc, sfv(compilation of all crc-values of the files), etc, however it doesn't still mean it's completely protected form poisoning.

As I said, I couldn't find the EXACT definitions anywhere, but hopefully this helps at least a little^^...

Sincerely, Blanchimont

The torrent is NOT being reported as a virus.

There was an issue with the final episode being aired, due to a murder around the same time. Instead, this was aired. It has been well documented on many anime sites.
