I downloaded this a while ago http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/11893014...nse-PROPER
Can't remember why I chose that particular torrent but I always do "due diligence" before downloading (and I'm not shy of rebuking downloaders who fail to do so).
Anyway...tried to install it yesterday and...no English language?!!. FUCK! The uploader should have damn well mentioned that!!!
...which, on a second look, explains the "NO EN...SORRY" at the bottom of the torrent description.
You could argue that it could, perhaps should, have been clearer. But the fact remains it is there and it's my bad for missing it.
Who's the dumbass now?
[At least I've not compounded my error by posting abusive comments on the torrent.]

I recently downloaded a remake of the Peter Sellers movie, Dr Strangelove, and was really looking forward to seeing how it compared to the 1964 classic.
I ignored the description on the torrent, the comments that were posted on it, and the IMDb link, because I didn't want to read any spoilers. Imagine my disappointment when I realised I'd downloaded a movie about a bloke with magic hands starring Benedict Cumberland Sausage.
Serves me right I suppose for not reading/checking what I'm downloading.

So you are bitching about a torrent that clearly said it had no english. Dumbass.

My favorite were the torrents labeled something like "Top Computer Viruses" and people bitching about AV results in the comments.

Yep.
Other oldies but goodies:
- people complaining about hard coded subtitles in HC torrents
- that telesyncs look like cams
- [not old, this is a current hot issue] that there is no video in HEVC torrents
- [another relative newcomer] that an unlocked game isn't cracked
Not forgetting the no. 1 complaint of all times: HD torrents not having exactly 1080 (or 720) vertical pixels.

Eh, If I were you guys I wouldn't worry too much...Sounds like you made the mistake of rushing due to being comfortable in the processing of downloading moreso than not knowing what you were doing... When I was a new downloader, this never happened to me since I proceeded with caution in the anticipation of fucking something up. Now that I'm comfortable, I've done stuff like that since I breezed through the details and missed something...

True dat.
I still remember my old woodwork teacher telling us on the very first day of shop, that most accidents with table saws happen to teachers rather than students--as kids are sensibly intimidated and almost always use the blade guard whereas teachers tend to think they know what they're doing and don't always take the trouble to reposition the guard.

The classic of all time of course is the 'my antivirus flagged your crack as a threat'. That is the number one comment of all time on TPB I would imagine. Duh! as Sid would say. And I think that may be the only spoken language that Sid can speak at all. Maybe he could throw in a Meh! once in awhile, but only after great effort.

That's something different.
I meant the number one unequivocally "duh!" comment of all time. Comments which clearly show the downloader has not paid attention to what they were downloading.
Unfortunately, while false positives are common, so are infected torrents. So by no means are all positives false.

At least it's not as bad as drinking fap juice for milk.
