Files with HOSTiLE in name
 
Why do so many files say HOSTiLE when so many people have the file?

anyone?

HOSTiLE
 
Does anyone know the answer?

Are they safe to download?

Has anyone had any problems downloading files with HOSTiLE in them?

Interesting, I've never seen that. I'll keep an eye on this thread I'm interested in the answer.:confused:

I only see that on one series of films and I have a hunch it is the name of a publisher.

Bitzi look up checks out ok ... looks ok to me

I should add what I mean about bitzi lookup which is a very good way to check if a file is ok. Right click on the file in the search window>look up file with bitzi and your browser will take you to a page with information about the file. Some have no information and Windows users can provide a great service by giving information on these.

OK, thanks.

Did not know about that bitzi thing either, and that seems quite handy. Have done that on the files (Godfather) and they are all rated high, so seem fine.

That's good .. notice I omitted the name of the film ... this was to comply with forum rules:)

I noticed one small file .. called "info" in a format I had not heard of. That was unknown in Bitzi and was the one I would have been wary of as a possible virus or worm carrier... of course it may have been fine .....
