The torrent was updated.

***
* 2020-10-04
Since the last version of this torrent, the file 'misc/windows_xp_source.rar'
has been discovered to be a fake, so it was removed. If you want to know more
about that file, check 'misc/windows_xp_source.rar.txt'. The directory
'windows_research_kernel' was accidentally included twice in the last version
of this torrent, so one of those directories has been removed. You can find the
remaining copy of that directory in 'misc/windows_research_kernel'. The file
'pdf/XBox Underground (Part 2).pdf' has been replaced, as the previous version
of that file was incomplete.
Some videos have been added to 'media/', and I've included an additional script.
All in all, these are very minor changes and this torrent is nearly identical
with the previous versions.
You can safely remove 'windows_research_kernel', and
'misc/windows_xp_source.rar', before loading the new torrent in your torrent
client.
Again, if you've downloaded any of the previous versions of this torrent:
You don't have to re-download the other files. Just remove the old
torrent from your torrent client (without deleting the data), rename the
directory to 'Microsoft leaked source code archive_2020-10-04'. Add the new
torrent to your torrent client and force it to do a re-hash / re-check of the
files, if it doesn't do it automatically.

A source code leak of proprietary software is as valuable as the Coca-Cola recipe. Like Coca-Cola, companies like Microsoft depend on certain secrets and when those get out it kind of ruins their whole business model. There's very likely a lot of code from the XP days still in use in Windows 10. So it's embarrassing for Microsoft that this leaked, and it will allow people to create their own version of Windows.

I agree that it looks fake as hell, but we never would've found that out unless it was included in the collection and reached this many people. I didn't crack the password either, but saw it mentioned by someone else. I'm not sure I even found the original 4chan thread where it was first mentioned...
Ahh well. At least those people who wondered for 12 years what was in the RAR can now relax. The real XP source is in nt5src.7z (included in the collection).
Fant0men, please don't mind my writing as English is not my most fluent language.
U did great by finding the password. It would have taken months for me to crack it.

Just eagerly awaiting the compile codes from any sources.
I read somewhere there r a few things these source code is missing like Drivers and i don't remember. I m not a coder, u see
so anything i don't understand i give up on it.
It's alright. I understand you clearly. Thanks for all the links! I'm also happy we found out the password
Yeah, there are some components missing in the source code, but there's source code for multiple versions of Windows in the torrent (incl. Win NT4 fork OpenNT!)... Anything that's missing from XP could probably be pieced together by using code from the other versions. Drivers could probably be taken from ReactOS etc.
