Our favorite bittorent sites are getting flooded with phoney uploads and instead of explaining what you should avoid i will post pictures of 100% real FAKE torrents.
1) A good indicator of fake torrents is by taking a look at the name and filesize + the time the torrents are added.
On this picture you can see they like to use aXXo his name to promote their uploads.
2) On this picture below you can see that they like to use standard titles like "Patch+serial.zip"
and again the filesize is wrong. 
3) This picture is no different from the first one, again popular names are getting abused "DIAMOND" "DUQA" "FxM" 
4) This one is also easy to spot because aXXo stopped uploading new movies especialy from 2008
5) Another standard trick of anti-p2p is creating new accounts that look similiar to aXXo or other famous uploaders.
Known axxo uploads can be found here: http://www.mininova.org/user/aXXo
6) FAKE FAKE FAKE
As releases for movies are generally originally named "MOVIE - RELEASE GROUP". In other words aXXo and Diamond are the people who originally uploaded the movie. In fact aXXo is believed to be responsible for nearly 30% of all illegal movie copies.
It is possible people are taking their own BS fake files, and naming them with the standard above. Hence the importance of checking the forumz to see if aXXo or such actually released the wanted file first, and of course checking the nfo to see the source and such.
