Leopard Developer Preview torrent prank

It’s hard to decide if it’s Apple or simply an overzealous Apple fan, but a copy of the Leopard Developer Preview has appeared on a BitTorrent tracking site. I’ll save you the site name and URL as I would never encourage anyone to download warez. It weighs in at 3297 MB. Sounds good right?
Well, you could waste precious bandwidth by downloading it. But you’d end up with a very large, very empty disk image. Imagine the nasty surprise if you’d tried to burn it before opening it. You’d have a very wasted DVD. It’s a great prank, that’s for sure.
