Maybe this will help. Bittorrent.
Note: Bittorrent is a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology often used for downloading music, movies, etc. illegally, but it does have its legal uses to distribute software patches inside closed networks. It requires users to cooperate by sharing folders from which the downloads are shared over the Internet.

Thank you. Still not sure why my "friends" are sending illegal files but I won't worry about it since I cannot fix it.
Tiger Mom | | Member with 59 posts. | | Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: Perth, Australia Experience: Some days smart, some days dumb (today dumb) | | I have a friend who has this same problem... I sent them a wmv and they said that the file showed up in their email as a x-bittorrent (not found)... Everyone else I sent this same video to had no problems opening the video.
They are using incredimail
Any suggestions I could pass on to them?
Thanks.. | | Junior Member with 5 posts. | | Join Date: Feb 2008 Experience: Advanced | | Incredimail Maybe that is the problem. I did contact IM and they were of no help. Have been thinking about changing to Outlook but I dread reentering all my email addresses.

#12 | x-bittorrent (not found) Well strange that you should mention Frostwire... i had recently downloaded and installed that... scanned it twice with avg (standard operating procedure for me). After the original post i did a deep scan with AVG FREE...and found 3 instances of Swizzer.... a trojan horse.. deleted that and poof the problem went away on new email.. the old stuff still wouldn't open but i am now getting all my mail ... and getting rid of frostwire cause it is a rip off of limewire anyway...
hope this helps.. | | Junior Member with 2 posts. | | Join Date: Apr 2008 Experience: Intermediate |

#15 | x bittorrent not found It seems that many many people are getting the same message on incoming attachments. I use Incredimail also.
I also have frostwire on my computer.
Did removing it solve the x birttorrent problem?
If not I guess it'll be a trip to the computer fixer to remove the virus, trojan, etc.
Let me know if u find any help.
