This file is not meant to whet your appetite for the quality of the X0 transfer. It's a reference, a useful tool for those in the preservation community that might need it. Fake or not, as long as the reference is there, it doesn't matter. (Why has it taken 8 months for this to be released? considering its just a stupid 700MB DIVX file i doubt it even matters.

and to quote my own post back in October 2005:...it's almost like someone is trying to give the X0 project a bad name.
