Already seeing abuse of "Fuwanovel" and "Prepatched" Torrents

[Tay]

I still haven't seen a single example of these rumored malware'd up releases (well, I investigated one that could have been, it was identical to fuwa release at the binary level), though it's certainly something to be aware of nevertheless.

They were up on Яндекс (Yandex) communities within a couple hours, and a friend of mine on a Russian VN team gave me the tip. He's a good guy and if he says they're out there, I'm inclined to to believe it. Enough to put up a warning, in any case.

Oh I see, didn't check anywhere but nyaa really. Hopefully people won't get tricked.

Ahhhh!

I take offense to your drinking game. You are excused, Mr. Rooke. Go play Zork or Galatea or something ; P

Question: are the torrents already removed or it will still be March removal? Because I can still find one of the VN I'd like to DL in torrent form in Fuwanovel.org but not fuwanovel.net, and I am paranoically afraid that the whole fuwanovel.net has already been hijacked by crackers.

 

Well, this might be stupid question but is the torrent from .org still safe to use? I dled this one: https://fuwanovel.net/novels/comyu-kuroi-ryuu-to-yasashii-oukoku

 

If this post is against some rules I will delete it immediately.

[castor212]

They will be removed later today. 

just not happend yet

Aaand... those are still safe to use rite? No malware or anything?

[Eclipsed]

@castor212 yup.

But they're gone now, so to be safe, don't torrent anything with the Fuwanovel name anymore~

edit: unless you grabbed the ones directly from the site prior to the links being taken down, then yeah those should be fine. but from now on bewaree

[castor212]

@castor212 yup.

Wait, wait, wait, sorry if I am too dense or anything, but is it safe or not? Just this particular one, downloded the torrent straight from here: https://fuwanovel.net/novels/comyu-kuroi-ryuu-to-yasashii-oukoku

 

I am sorry for keep on asking, but i am getting a serious goosebumps here.

If you downloaded it from .org it should be safe still. If you needed something else from Fuwa but were too late, PM me and I'll see what I can do.

[Suzu Fanatic]

If you know any insider that helps maintain KT or Nyaa, could always ask them to auto-blacklist torrents using fuwanovel name. Bit of a strong arm approach, but it would avoid nameblame.

Fyuh. Thanks for the confirmation, this is what I desperately needed.

Cant find anything in Fuwanovel name in sukebe.nyaa, actuallym besides Big Bang Age.

[mitchhamilton]

its horrible how people exploit other peoples hopes like this.

 

By the way did you know the original Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai, as well as A and S have all been fully translated?! its true! dont believe me? well download the torrents here

[orochinagi]

Sadly whenever someone or some group/community gets a "big recognized name" there will always show up people taking advantadge of said name and usually take advantadge or the lesss informed users

[PeteN00b]

Now I have to download 200MB every 10 minutes and wait for another 20? :/

[Deep Blue]

there are a few torrents that were changed here on fuwa, I think it was kanon and air? they were just a .exe and some weird files about copyright a .pdf and one video (a really lame joke)

[Kurisu-Chan]

Just saw a DRAMAtical murder torrent on kickass labeled fuwanovel, can be malware, can be not.
