Hello, I read this thread http://www.besthostingforums.com/showthread.php?t=18354 and found MD5 "changer" plugin for Rapidleech. I do not use rapidleech, but it got me thinking whether it is possible to change checksums of media files as well.

So I checked out how does that rapidleech plugin work and it seems it only appends "0" to end of file in order to change its checksum. It looks that this change does not affect .rar files, but it could affect for example .avi files. I tried it on one .avi file and my VLC could still play it. That does not mean though, that other players would ignore this "junk" at end of file as well.

What are your thoughts on this? Have you tried it?
