You're right that it's a small download and having a peek isn't
difficult, but that misses the point. I've learned thru experience how
dangerous it can be to open an unknown rar file, of any size.
Have to wonder why the uploader hides the title behind a 'code',
unlike all the other uploaders in the e-book NGs? Doing so only
arouses suspicions among the careful.
