Fake files are those which are intended to look like a file, but are in fact something else or just nothing at all.

aMule provides two ways to detect this fake files:

  1. By taking a look at the comments submitted by other clients.
  2. By using one of the following resources (right-click on the download -> FakeCheck):

As a tip, it is commonly usefull to take a look at the download's details (right-click on the download -> Show file details) and see if someone has set some filename which refers to some different content. If such is the case, you might suspect if the real content is what you assume it is, what that other client has set as it's filename or none of those.
