Not sure if anyone's noticed this before, but while doing some ad download testing, I found that one ad was always corrupt: "ad000bed.smk" ( http://realityripple.com/Uploads/ad000bed.smk ) . Under a bit of investigation, the server did indeed claim it was an SMK file. I then tried changing the extention to pcx ( http://realityripple.com/Uploads/ad000bed.pcx ), and it opened just fine. This file's been around since Friday, November 11, 2005, 2:19:10 PM, according to the file date. I guess it's not really important, but I find it interesting that Bliz doesn't care about that kind of thing. You'd think that because their sole source of income from bnet is the ads that they'd make sure everything was perfect on them.

As I recall, D1 atleast. Dosen't care about the extention.
It trys to figure out the format by examining the file.
So meh, if it works, it works I guess :/
