He does not seed them. He seeded for a very tiny amount of time to appease the mods, then he stopped. His scam consists of putting a text file in each torrent and upping the priority of said text file. In the text file it mentions to get ahold of him. At which time, you pay him for the real file downloads. We've subbed in real files to his torrents to ruin the scam, but it's gotten pretty ugly actually. He would go about berating me. I actually didn't say anything bad about him other than I noticed it was a scam. I was asked by a mod to stop, so I've stopped. If you want to see an example of the scam you can load his vl torrent. It will stop at about 78% and won't move because there is nobody seeding. We haven't yet found the pro n vl versions to sub into the torrent to ruin his scam, but we will.
Thanks, downloaded it and uploaded it to MEGA. If anyone needs MEGA link you can pm Code: \amd64\boot.wim \amd64\winre.wim \x86\boot.wim \x86\winre.wim
How is this pre-activated? Windows 8.1 AIO S14 x64 en-US DaRT 8.1 Pre-Activated Mar2014 Will I never have to use kms or wintool activation?
It uses an $oem$ folder for sure with KMS activation system. Likewise, if you install Office 2010/2013 it will be automatically activated.

Sorry, ut I have a fixed IP. o way to chage. It seems that the only workaround for me is getting a Vpn service.
Thank you guys for the explanation on pratha(scammer)(scammer)(scammer)(scammer)(scammer)prabhu, I think I'm starting to get the picture. Fascinating stuff. So I just have a couple of small details that I'd like clarified that still confuses me: You say that people get stuck at 78%, and that's what makes them go and pay for premium download. This I don't understand: a) if you are trying to torrent something for free, why would you decide to pay for it? especially after you already got 78% of it for free b) why does he bother creating the torrents in the first place? why not just simply advertise the premium downloads without the hassle of the torrents? I guess i'm not seeing the picture here how stuck torrents convert people to paying for premium download. Especially as there are many working torrents of the same stuff now. The other thing that confuses me is, I checked out one of the ReadMe files in his torrents. It only talks about contacting him for product keys etc., makes no mention of premium downloads being available. When I read that, it didn't occur to me at all that premium downloads of this stuff are available from him. So if I was getting stuck, the ReadMe would give me no hint whatsoever that I can turn to him for a solution. PS: Thanks murphy for the awesome job on your torrents.
To all Windows 8.1 Enterprise with update users: yesterday I installed windows 8.1 enterprise with update which is downloaded from this forum. I faced few problems which I could not find if it is bug in the software or Microsoft has done it. 1. When I click on start menu, the task bar appears 2 seconds in the modern UI and it disappears and it never comes back. 2. If i have to select 2 or more apps I need to press ctrl key then select. 3. To move 2 or more apps I should be pressing ctrl key while moving. 4. When I close Metro apps then immediately jump to desktop though I don't select the navigation in the task bar properties. These are the bugs I have found till now... are you all having same problems. is this the way Microsoft has done its update or am I missing something here. Pls advice.
a) most people don't, but some would. There are a tiny percent of people who torrent things even though they could afford to buy things. While probably 97% of the people actually pay for things they can afford, there is still a small percent that will torrent just to be cheap. b) I don't know, honestly. I guess torrents are more popular? so perhaps its just a strategy to get as many fish in the net? To be perfectly honest, I believe he's seeding about 500 megs/day. It's just that a lot of people are skipping certain files they don't want, so most of the 500 megs is going toward furthering those people's downloads rather than the total download. Like I said, the reason the other torrents ever finished was that we were renaming the files and subbing them in. Thus putting the seeding on the rest of the people instead of just him; foiling the scam. You have to think about the big picture if you want to understand his business. Sure you can give some away for free, but eventually there will be some people that just really want a file that people are no longer seeding or hosting. I don't really know about the contacting him part. I'm not a reporter. I'm not gonna go contact him just to find out exactly what he's doing.
