Flooding a hijacked binaries group with sim videos

Dave Henrie began uploading sim racing videos to alt.binaries.simulators.autos to push out car repair software being pirated there. Others joined by posting GPL videos and the GTR2002 mod, Mikkel Gram-Hansen promoted the effort on RSC, and one pirate apparently downloaded racing videos thinking they were AllData discs.

I don't 'think' there is a maximum size...the programs I have all break up the files into smaller chunks...which is good, since it will flood the subject line with a hundred files instead of one big huge one. dave ..I don't use the binaries much either but dangit...

I know Outlook and OE does this, never seen that option in Netscape anywhere, maybe I need to set up OE for this then :-) <shudder> Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ "A man is only as old as the woman he feels" --Groucho Marx--
Sweet stuff! Keep them coming and hopefully they will find another group to overtake. Gotta love the download speeds from newsgroups too eh? I'm averaging a solid 200+K :) Thanks again, dklassen86 -------------- http://www10.brinkster.com/dklassen86 remove _nospam in replies "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Sure we don't use the alt.binaries.simulators.autos enough.

Way to go!! Keep it up! Has anyone tried reporting these guys yet?? I would think their ISP would like to know about it in addition to AllData.

He's continued my mini rebellion. I have a suggestion for any others who wish to upload big files like sim racing movies....we already have seen most of them...so why not use the actuall file names for (alldata and mitchell on demand..the poor sots won't know which files are good and which are bad.....oooh I'm bad...:) dave henrie

Just thought I'd let you guys know I'm posting the GTR2002 mod in a.b.s.a. It'll take a while for it to all get there though. Feel free to chip in with more sim-related posts to try and take back control of the group.

a lot of little files are better than big ones...the idea is to flood the subject lines so that the posted warez scroll off before they can be dloaded. Send car files, send setups...hehehe dave henrie

I have posted an announcement at RSC asking people to upload GPL movies and all other assorted files they can think off. Thanks for starting the snowball Dave ;) Hmmm.. we just released a 166Mb Live for Speed video, maybe someone on a fast connection could download it, and upload that to the group in tiny bits. It's actually a pretty damned good video, or so I'm told.... IDSN for me so I'm now neither down- nor uploading anything that big ;) Find the video almost at the top here http://www.racesimcentral.com it's called "The Zone" Mikkel Goy Larsen <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > > DJSpeedy wrote: > > > > Hey - I'm gonna have to send somebody my hospital bill soon, because Iam > > SPLITTING my sides laughing at the GPL vids - some great (and funny)things

Hey Mikkel (and others!), anybody still have the original (oldest) GPL AVI movie from pre-alpha times, in which Dave K. shows a very early copy of the sim? I'd like to see it, but couldn't find it online (understandably). Just curious... Might even have some historical significance ;) Regards, Ruud
here's as header title from someone who must not be paying attention: AllData v6.0 Install CD why is this videos of racing cars and not an install disk ??? way to go...trouble is...we just are hurting them enough to make a difference. dave henrie

Yup, saw and almost fell on the floor laughing, I hope his news feed is really slow and that he spent a LOT of time DL'ing the stuff > way to go...trouble is...we just are hurting them enough to make a > difference. Who knows, but at least they have to look a little closer now before DL'ing stuff, I don't mind setting up my other computer at the shop to post a couple of hundred MB of appropriately named files a couple of times a day if it makes it just a little more annoying for them Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--
