DownHoax v1.02

This great prank makes it appear as though an "unwanted" file is being downloaded from the Internet. DownHoax randomly chooses a site from its internal database of "undesirables" and proceeds to simulate downloading an equally distasteful file. DownHoax supports both Internet Explorer as well as Netscape Navigator, and it will display the correct download screen depending on which browser is set as the default. You are unable to cancel or stop this program, if you try it will simply restart the download process.

You can also specify the transfer rate that DownHoax uses when displaying the fake download screen.

Freeware

Wait until it has completed "pretending" to download the unwanted file and it will display a splash screen. After you close the splash screen the program will exit.

You can specify the transfer rate that DownHoax uses when displaying the fake download screen. Here is an example:

downhoax.exe 259

This would randomly simulate a download around 259 kb/sec, give or take a few kb.
