Thanks for checking into it Moth3r. Asking that community to willingly pro-offer information is a long shot. It has been 5+ years and maybe now people might be more willing to discuss what took place, for all sides to re-examine the details and see larger issues.

There's a few forum posts online which reference the potUK Sith leak:

6 (maybe upto 12) hours for they all waited for this file. The details are probably a little off, since Elite Torrents was to have had the file pre-May 19th and from random bits it sounds like possible the potUK torrents was lifted by thepiratebay and it was a user from TPB who took it to Elite Torrents. Somewhere in that chain it got RAR'd which is more or a usenet practice then torrents, so well the details are still sketchy, atm.

Currently looking at the RotS leak (ViSA workprint) file for tidbits of info. Have a thread in the How-To section for recommendations/ideas on sleuthing or forensic ways to examine the files: Feel free to add something here or there.

One of the clues that this file is the leak file is the Title/Chapter structure. The 2 VOBs are split into 5 Titles, four of which have 99 chapter, the first having 94. These chapters line up with every consecutive camera change.
