Hi, what does 0-Day/Scene mean?

[Buddha.net]

I am not good with filesharing lingo.

Also I noticed torrent site names being abbreviated to hide the addresses.

I figured out the names for FL, ILT, and TL
but I cant find SCT and SCC
can anyone point the way?

Zero day or 0day refers to software, media, or information that is obtained either slightly prior to or on the day of the official release. Items gained further in advance are deemed “Negative day” or sometimes “-day”.


Now most of you who search for software cracks (on a regular basis) may well be aware of this term. What it means is explained above. The scene in this context refers to all those groups that contribute by releasing either the complete software package or keygen/serial/patch for the same.

sct is scenetorrents.org

i dont know what scc is

SCC is an abbreviation of a site that does not want their name or URL posted.

Also ScT is, but it seems like no one gives a shit...

Some people think it's cool to have access to the scene. Access to the scene.

Do we really need threads like this...It is so frustrating, Mateys.:( Why are people lazy to use search engines? Google is s surprisingly good friend! So are the others: Wikipedia etc.

You know I was going to say the same thing. Maybe it matters to some to dl a movie as SOON as it comes out. Me? I'd rather wait a bit, see how the movie rates over at VCD, and then dl.

I hate wasting my time dl'ing if the movie is shit.

0day doesn't necessarily refer to all software/media/etc obtained within the release date, but actually "rips" of software (PC games and apps)... ISO, video, mp3 are all separate...

mind you, it's been a while since I've had intimate access to the scene, so I'm sure there are other "categories"....

No it doesn't.

If a released is released on 01.01.08 and you get it on 01.0.108, it is 0day. 0days old.

[MrLazy]

a 0-day item does not necessarily mean it is released the day before.. if you're on P2P you might get it 1-3 days after the official release. It is still considered 0-day /scene or whatever you want to call it ;)

[bathead]

0day refers to the age of when the scene group releases the product, not necessarily the age of the product's official release.
