Be Careful, folks.

I reported them, but there seems to be at least 3 spammers today, with torrents labeled as DAZ products, among other things. None of these files are real. For example, one is a "Kimo 7 Pro Bundle" that's only 15MB in size! LMAO!

Anyhow, if you don't recognize the name as part of our group, do yourselves a favor- before downloading ANY torrent, click on the name of the uploader and check their other uploads. Chances are, like I found, there will be a ton of non-related torrents, all dumped on the same day, and file sizes will not match.

Currently stay away from uploads by judyedrew, glenhgarcia.mx, and hopesrobinson221.

Just a safety FYI.

Just report them on the Report Torrents Comments thread or add a comment to the torrents and they will be dealt with.
This sort of thing happens almost every day, so no need to make a thread here every time.
However, it is good practice to treat any torrent with a healthy dose of skepticism, especially if a strange uploader has just put up a couple hundred torrents in the last hour.

Cool. I did report them, just was the first time I encountered this, and didn't want any of our group to get burned the hard way. Been a little while since I searched to see if there was anything new in Daz uploads, and wasn't pleased to see not one but 3 spammers. Like I said when I reported them, I'm new to it here, still finding my way around. Thanks T-Herd!

LOL, just saw some.

They had descriptions like "good..good" and "good softwear"

[wolfenspiel]

Yup,lol! Do what I did, report 'em when you see 'em. Yeah, love the wording in those descriptions! Think maybe it's Phuong? LMAO!

Weird that one of the torrents "DAZ3D - Poser - Mini Haven" has 65 seeders / 45 Leeches

Those are bots too?

[ThunderHerd]

Bots, fake peer counts... They sound like some back alley hustler trying to sell you a fake Rolex, to coin an old cliché.
You want to see some ridiculous peer counts, look at Seedpeer. Even valid DAZ3D torrents have between 100 and 1000 seeds.

[beaglebandit]

I didn't see them, this time...were they stuff we've posted as other/other?

[ThunderHerd]

I believe they were mimicking older uploads to KAT. If we use the same title on a resurrection here, it will be hard to tell if they got the name from the original or not.

Thanks for the heads up!
