How to get a file that was deleted

[Deleted]

why else would someone need to recover a massive video file in such an inconvenient way?

Many reasons - one being it may not be possible to replicate, or require a lot of manhours to do so. FRAPS recording or whatnot, who knows. Its not exactly an uncommon request on many computer forums - even in countries where the idea of capped connections are practically alien except for 3G/4G connections.

if he owned the movie he could just get the disc and reload it, but re downloading it uses quota!

Ignorant much? He stated it was a DVI file. http://www.fileformat.info/format/dvi/egff.htm
Look it up there, it's not a format you're going to be downloading copyrighted movies in.

Maybe he's into indie movie making and doesn't have immediate access to the original file? Not saying you're wrong but still not every video file is obtained illegally.

Who's to say the file wasn't legitimately purchased as a digital download and he isn't able to use said quota to re-download it? Who's to say it's not some very obscure video that he simply can't just conveniently get back?

There's no reason to assume it's pirated.

Unless you work for the MPAA
