Have your ever been "on the scene"?

[fsephie]

I think the scene's days are numbered as being the number one source of pirated content on the internet. For example High definition stuff - The scene is rubbish compared to a few private torrent trackers in both quantity and quality of releases.

People used to be in awe of members of the scene and being able to get things on superfast ftp but with torrent trackers full of 100mbit seedboxes it is not held in as high regard as it once was.

let me guess your another axxo fan...........lmao

Just to add to that. If you look on SCT at where the donation money goes, see how part of it goes to scene access for top uploaders?

The only reason music is a general exception to the need for scene access is because there are so many formats that the scene doesn't release in that it end ups being more of a farm industry with uploaders who specialize in particular formats. Just saying.

Once you get to a high enough point in bt private trackers, is there really a point? Are you really trying to e-dick between a minute pretime and no pretime? I'm just curious as to why spending tons of money buying free hardware or risking whatever access to materials you have just for the minute difference is worth it? There is a reason why direct scene access is so rare: it's hard to get and hard to maintain and generally not worth it.

you're only taking speed into consideration and not content. Torrent sites don't upload 100% of the content available on the scene. I'm more interested in seeing how much is never seen by outsiders. As a utility maniac, I'm VERY curious.

Never personally been involved with the scene, but an old friend of mine had access to some local dumps and shared alot of stuff from there with me

yea each torrent site dosent upload 100% of the content. but you can get a list of all scene releases very easily and from then on just need to know where to look. its really not that hard
