MS Stopping SP2 Torrents
posted by scubacuda on Saturday August 14, @01:30PM
from the why-is-my-SP2-hash-different? dept.
Security BBC: The folks at Downhill Battle recently made the Windows XP SP2 update available via BitTorrent. Microsoft's response? Don't do that, and if you see people doing that, report them piracy@microsoft.com.

One letter might go something like this:

Dear Microsoft,

Here are the IPs of the seeds and connected peers of those [dl/ul]ing SP2 from me. Please make them STOP!

Regards,
An angry user.

P.S. Four more trackers popped up on SuprNova.org while writing you this letter. I'll connect to them and get you those IPs also.
P.P.S. What do you think about broadcatching?
