  we grabbed all their source code
I'm not going to pull down that torrent, but if someone does, can you tell me exactly what they mean by this? Did they just pirate and release the source for a bunch of major video games? Did they grab any of the art?


Since I'm not from the US I figured it'd be pretty safe to pull it down no matter what it was.

Turns out it's a bunch of mysql-dumps in txt format, some admin passwords and server logs. I am guessing there's a lot of pain in there, but I only had a quick glance.

The packed file was ~15MiB. No code or art in there as far as I could see.


Looks like the torrent size is only 15MB, so I'm guessing that it just contains internal financial documents and the like.

EDIT: Here's a mirror of the files, I'll be taking these down soon for obvious reasons: (removed)

Looks like they're just internal mappings, some sql dumps of users, and a few other things. Nothing fun unless you wanna mass spam some people.


It's listed on TPB as being 15MB in size so it couldn't possibly be the source code itself. Maybe there's a separate unlisted torrent for this?


Source code of the website, presumably.
