Rush Hour 3 - Ek aur popat
(This post is not review of Rush Hour 3.)
Well, now that I have moved to Mama's house (Mama means my friend Vishal Mamania and not my uncle), and he has broadband connection with unlimited bandwidth, I have started downloading movies using torrents. For this weekend, I decided to watch Rush Hour 3. So I opened the torrent search site torrentz.com and got the torrent file for Rush Hour 3. I started downloading the movie on Friday evening. The size was about 700 MB. I said great and continue downloading.
After 2 days on Sunday morning the download has finished, and I was excited to watch the movie. I opened the movie in my regular movie player mplayer classic (a really good movie player, which play all kind of movies including rm, rmvb, avi and mov, and lightweight).
The popat starts at this point. A black screen with a message on it says "this movie can only be viewed on player3w player. This can be downloaded freely from the website bla, blah ...com". (I dont remember the name of the web site).
Ok, I said. I went to that web site, and downloaded the free player. The setup was of 1.1 Mb. After downloading I also installed the player, refusing the very pleasant bonus the setup is offering other than the player. (Free e-mail about the launch of other products, and their updates. No, Thanks.).
I started the player, and boom. Antivirus popped up saying a TROJAN virus has found. I removed the internet cable from laptop. The antivirus also says that the virus is cleaned. Hmmm..., it could be safe to play the movie.
Ok, so all such things, and finally I was ready to watch Rush Hour 3. I opened the movie in the player. The movie starts with a white female walking on the road and a man camera in his hand asking her her name, address and her interests. The film was looking something like shooting with handycam. I find all this similar to something. I forwarded a movie a bit. Now that same girl was in a clinic with doctor checking her. The thing is doctor was checking her private parts.
So all that download was for a porn movie. Damn, I should have guessed it when it asked to download a new player. How much these guys have earned when I download that player and the torrent file? Hardly a dollar. But it gave me the frustration which money can not count. I was ashamed of myself when I thought that I wanted to watch the movie with the risk of Trojan virus. Anything could have happened to my system if that virus would have found an entry inside.
But looking at +ve side, I learned new lessons.
1) Torrent for main stream movies is danger. Better download it from Rapidshare, eve n though its painful.
2) If any particular file is asking you to download any particular software, delete that file.
3) If anything is having virus in it, it is certainly not what you are looking for. (unless you are looking for virus)
