How does one get into a warez topsite

[phoenixfire]

??? do they get invited or is there some kind of secret code?

[Demigod]

From what I've heard, you either need to be in a releasing group or in some way connected to them (ex. supplier, hardware donator, etc.).

[celtic]

you simply trade an acc like you guys do here so freely ;-)

[DaMan05]

we're reffering to the FTPs where the scene material is first released right?

[Demigod]

Actually, just to clear something up, phoenixfire, by "warez topsite," I'm assuming you're referring to the FTP servers on which releasing groups initially put out their releases?

[DaMan05]

beat you to it.. lol

LOL, TOPSITE. Just call it a site. OK this is the fast and easy way but dont blame me if you get busted. Spend $50 and get a rack shack co-location server with a deticated 100mbit line and about 100GB of space. Look at some of the crapyer groups nfo files and get there email. EMail them and tell them you have a super fast server with glftpd that they can have root on it they give you leech on a couple sites. You in. Thank me later.

A better way is to go out to the store, ebay or what ever and get some rips to share with the rest of the people you would be surpised how many industry insiders sell there promo's on ebay for a bit of extra cash. If you do that you can basically set you own price.

So no matter what you have to spend money?

Equillivant trade. Money is something that everyone can get and give. If you're special you can get in other ways.

or you could waste hours upon hours of your life trade rips between sites. But for that you need to be online 16 hours a day and then you will probably need to spend a year or so just lurking around irc untill you meet someone that will give you a start on some crapy no name sites that you can work your way up from.
