[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Anti-eMule files: cause 100% CPU intentionally!, I found 5 diff files who cause that.

Computer configuration:
eMule Plus version:	1.2
Using proxy:	No
Firewall:	No
CPU:	AMD AlthonXP Burton core 2500+
Memory:	512MB
Operating System:	winXP pro corp SP2 integrated nLite modified
Updated drivers for network and video:	Yes

I found 5 seperate files (with the same name) all of which under 50kb in size (but different sizes individually) which, once completed, cause emule to be stuck at 100% cpu usage (stayed that way over week, surviving restarts and even when i copy pasted all the partial files to a different computer!). The files cannot be deleted from within emule (to delete them, turn off emule and delete the partials from the emule partial directory).

I have kept all the relevant files and they are available here:
http://home.comcast.net/~taltamir/eMule_bug.rar

as you notice there is a part.bad there aswell, to ensure I don't delete something i want I only deleted the .part file leaving the rest after each emule restart. Emule detected the file was missing and did whatever correction it does... I tried restoring those files and the 100% complete files who cause 100% cpu usage came back... I just went ahead and moved them all (with all associated files) to an appropriate directory, compressed them, and uploaded... hope this proves useful in tracking the issue (as I am certain its a malicious instance propagated by anti p2p people)

Here is an interesting question (interesting to me that is)... how come two of my files didn't have a .txtsrc file?

I retested the links in emule plus (by entering them as link rather then putting my files there) and also tested emule classic (by entering the same links):
1. Those are each a different picture (they just have semi identical names (i think they have a "(#)" to differentiate them, but that is created normally when downloading multiple things with the same name... - oh, they also happen to be smut )
2. They work in emule classic. It downloads them and then puts them together correctly; they don't work in emule plus.
3. They cause 100% (or 50% on duel core) cpu usage on emule plus.. wheather that is intentional or not remains to be seen.
