"Assume stupidity, not malice".
 
Those two files are web bugs. Very common annoyance. I wish Firefox would've denied any scripts that do not originate from the same domain by default...
 
People just don't know how to use .npmignore, that's all. Take a look at what "less" package contains, you'll be impressed. :)

Noob to nodejs (but not to _javascript_). Today I needed jQuery functionality in a nodewebkit app I'm writing and so I ran "npm install jquery". However, I noticed the following show up in Netbeans as it tracks remote dependencies being referenced now that jQuery is present; these are curiously named:
 
show_ads.js
urchin.js
 
And appear to be coming from a "testdata\trackerchecker.html" page, in a folder along with a bunch of hidden ".tmp" files in the jQuery node_modules dependency, htmlparser version 1.7.6 (the current version is 2.0.0). However, this "testdata" doesn't appear in the current version or archive in github. Further examination is showing that this page is some sort of torrent checker software. What the heck does this have to do with jQuery and does anyone know if it's legit (suspect as it's not in the author's github version)? 
 
Is this just a poorly chosen testing document, or does "piratebits" and "pi sexy" have any relevance here?
 
Screenshot attached...
