In case you obtained a release prior to the actual air date, e.g. The Office S05E12 that is airing today (January 22),
and you wonder why the torrent is uber fast, it is because of a scam.
The release obtained will be in a password protected rar file.
The one only reason for the .avi to be rar’ed again is to conceal that it is fake.
The release will have a file called password.txt or readme.txt,
saying:
--> The content you have downloaded is password protected to shield it from automated leeching and detection.
--> Please go to www.AskMu.com and follow instructions to get your archive password.
Hope you enjoy this quality release! We have put in a lot of effort into getting this to you even before the actual air-date!
>>>>> Note: The password is case sensitive. SO please remember to enter it exactly as it is displayed.
Have a nice day :)
Do NOT go to that page, because there is no way whatsoever to obtain the password.
You will be scammed out time and money if you are stupid enough to actually either download any crap or fill out any survey.
The owner of this scam probably makes several grand every month because of this fake, so do not fall for it and stay away from releases that are aired too early.
