− | :::The torrent itself, listed at http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/404794105/?tab=summary seems to have a baker's dozen files of black and white images that look to be "legit" and not pornography related. [[User:J-beda|J-beda]] ([[User talk:J-beda|talk]]) 17:52, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

− | ::::So then what is the point of the title text? Is there no joke, and he's just sharing an alternate file in case others are trying to see the image?--[[User:DanB|DanB]] ([[User talk:DanB|talk]]) 17:58, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

− | :::::It's quite possible that someone created the torrent after the comic was released. That would explain the unrelated name (DVDrip, etc) --[[User:Waldir|Waldir]] ([[User talk:Waldir|talk]]) 00:06, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

| The actual filename for the first image is not as colorful :-) http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/673528main_PIA15971_full.jpg [[User:Mem|mem]] ([[User talk:Mem|talk]]) 15:33, 6 August 2012 (UTC) | | The actual filename for the first image is not as colorful :-) http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/673528main_PIA15971_full.jpg [[User:Mem|mem]] ([[User talk:Mem|talk]]) 15:33, 6 August 2012 (UTC) |

− | I think another part of the explanation is the sheer awesomeness of a robot lowered down to Mars using a Skycrane sending us photos that we can download. The way it's written it sounds like a totally made up excuse - and the joke is that it is actually true.

− | It is common for people to upload fake copies of popular files prior to their release on TV/Cinema - usually to try to get people download an ad-infested codec, or to click an ad-sponsored link. Often when they do, they fill the name full of keywords, so people searching for "aXXo" or "DVDRip" or "SWESubs" will find the dodgy release. I think Randall was making a joke about this, because that the file-name, suggesting a DVD Rip in xvid format, released by aXXo with Swedish subtitles is completely inappropriate for a .jpg file.
