    Undeletable files are a norm among warez sites.  Also hidden and/or 
    undeletable directories are also a trademark.  There was a discussion 
    here about it a few months back.  Essentially, it's a last ditch effort 
    to prevent the sysadmin from cutting off the warez ftp.  Usually keeps 
    the site going for a few minutes extra :)
