What's the point of Warez forums when you use bittorrent?

Good luck getting 6 months old stuff or older on torrent trackers. Warez boards usually have very old stuff and you don't have to worry about seeders. You always get max speed

I have a few torrent trackers and also usenet and I was not able to find a HD rip of a movie I was looking for. It was released in 2007. But I did find it on a warez board.

Most trackers are really only great for 0-day stuff. Warez boards have both new and old stuff.

^^^ It really does depend on the tracker. While most 0-day trackers don't have the greatest retention there's more than a few that keep stuff seeded we'll past 6 months. Both rapidshare and bt are great sources of getting pirated goods and they compliment each other well.

Awesome for appz and older stuff!!

there the best for apps IMO

but watch out for trojans and stuff

. You're more likely to find REAL trojans on public tracker then warez forums.

Also there is no 'seed back' ratio but it's nice to share.

Totally agreed.

And yeah, I've downloaded a TON of shit from WBB and other forums over the past year or so since I got into warez forums, and I haven't came across one single virus. Perhaps that happened a lot years ago, but I doubt it's as common nowadays.

So true, as long as you download from trusted sources there shouldn't be an excuse.

Obviously you download download from Release Blog comments

I use them mainly for appz and older things you can't find/request on trackers.

There are some very good ones out there.

[Cradle]

They are both handy in their own ways. I find that BT is good for most things, but when it comes to older content (particularly movies), ebooks, appz and the occasional album warez are better. The best part about warez is that you can max out your speed on alder content whose speed on a tracker would be abysmal.
