the problem is that a fake file is an actual file with a fake name. you 
are downloading a file named A which is actually file B . if you tell 
other clients it's a fake, what will happend to a client which is 
downloading file B with name B ?
i dont think it would be wise to propagate a 'trusted name', it would 
consume too much bandwidth. you should either preview the file as soon 
as you have downloaded some chunks (mplayer do it fine for avi's), or 
check the names other clients have for it (with latest gui or with web 
interface).
