    Urgent

    ive noticed that many 360 games are disappearing shortly after being released. If I can't find the game here, or if the links here are gone. I usually get the file name from abgx.net and then use NZB index or Binsearch Whats going on with the scene is there a mass crackdown going on?

    Sorry I've been away for awhile and don't a clue wtf is going on. I'm not looking forward to going back to torrents

    Oh and is SOL still around?

    Since you don't give any 'examples' (nzb, filename, etc) it could be anything, from screw-ups with your downloader (program and/or machine), up to and including heavy DMCA takedowns. Of course, 'games' have always been heavily targeted since the dawn of the DMCA.

    So without any additional info, who knows? If the filename is 'in the clear' (non-obfuscated) and the files aren't encrypted (rar) in any way, then it's all a sitting duck.

    hmmmm I've been downloading games since 08 and have never seen 360 games disappear this fast. It seems like they are only up for a day or two

    The powers that be know how and where to look. They're up, but they won't appear with their scene dir/filenames.

    Why bother posting an nzb to something someone worked hard to post on an open site, just so a few thankless users* can leech it, and then assist in speeding up the takedown process?


    *Didn't mean you specifically

    SOL can explain why he doesn't post here anymore.

    Goto Google

    site: binsearch.info "complex-madden15"

    site:binsearch.info "s-sacred3"

    or nzbclub and check search nfo with same file names.
    Who needs cloud storage when you got the NSA?
