anyone know whats going on with torrents for the tv series game of thrones?
last sunday's episode, s4e8, doesn't seem to have a valid upload on pb yet.
there is a series 4 torrents, for s4e7 thru s4 e10 which seem to be appear, disappear, and reappear. I did try one of these, and it claimed to be in a new updated format, requiring windows media player to find a new codec; payload included additional player software. Although not upsetting malwarebytes, it didn't work with the video file. I don't need this cr*p, so I uninstalled it. Torrent also contains a text file.
Given the popularity of the series, it seems odd that I don't see torrents from uploaders who have provided good ones in the past, or with a pink or green pirate smiley.
Seems like this series of questionable torrents is being identified and repeatedly deleted by "the good guys" and the valid uploads perhaps deleted or inhibited by "the bad guys."
I don't know enough about the posting/review process to know how this might work.
Seems like someone is trying to poison the well.
- note - looking a little further, last upload was about 25 minutes ago; a user names "krantips" who has no previous upload history uploaded five page of torrents, including many videos in addition to game of thrones.
