P2P file names

Only being a peer for a long time can make you appreciate the finer aspects of using torrents and p2p software. Filenames start having words like "real", "original", "working" and "really working". It becomes funnier when there are exclamation marks worked in after these words. "cracked!" and "very funny!!!". For some reason, "cracked!" is different from "fully cracked!!!" and I haven't been able to figure that one out yet, despite being a peer for a long time. This makes files so damn long. This is a problem with songs, once you download them, add them to your media library, and then after a few days, you try to put them in your mobile phone, you cannot, because the file name is too long. Which means you'll have to edit the filename, which means the media library wont recognise it. Unless you remember all the locations of all your songs, you have no option but to rescan your comp for media. there has to be some standard of nomenclature for p2p networks, but this is nearly impossible to enforce. This is not the best one, but finally, I saw something new in the filename after a long time.

No Bullshit!

BTW, the file was bullshit, also in typical p2p fashion.
