Yup, I too checked them right after I posted this, and they are the same fakes that have been up there since day 1.

What these "people" are doing is choosing tracks that have a long repetative intro, so that you wait until the song is finished downloading because you don't hear the chorus yet. These are like dance tracks, the DJ mixed stuff. But if you hear the clips and compare them to the fakes, they're not even close.

In one of the fakes, the singer sounded like Bono, and I doubt someone would go through so much trouble, but it sounded as if, it was actually Bono, but just bits and pieces of his words, it seemed as if they were cut off, and faded just enough so you can't make out what he was saying, they made it to sound like a new U2 song, without having any idea of what the real versions were like. But who knows....
