I obviously have no citations of my own for this anecdata.

Regarding the first post, I went through approximately ~80 pages of "thanks", and one pair of mildly sore eyes later, was unable to find any "update". A torrent *was* posted somewhere around page 80 but this had the wrongly-named file in it. I have also seen a few TG groups that have renamed the file, but it's still the wrong one (like the GP described).

I can confirm that Austraiaia has an eclectic mix of Australia and Austria though - and also that grepping for 'Australia.*Austria\|Austria.*Australia' returns 170 results, grepping for 'Austria' returns 446375 results, and grepping for 'Australia' returns 408 results.
