Usage of 0-Day sites

[puckface]

I know not every torrent user is the same, but personally as time has evolved, 0-Day trackers for me have become pretty much useless, for me torrenting has evolved into the usage of specialized sites pretty much exclusively, then using smaller sites for the few scene releases i get. Scene shit is of low quality (movies, music) and I can see it being useful for apps if you're unfortunate enough to use Windows, but I don't.

So the question being, do many of you use your 0-Day sites for stuff you actually use, or just to have the e-peen as they say?

packs i love packs and they are fl on my scene site :)

i don't download 0day stuff even if i am on a tracker like that

[Lovestoned]

0day private trackers are very easy to get into now, apparently.

It's now more of whether if you'd like to be in the community or not, just that most people don't.

I myself prefer to be in a bigger community such as FST itself, since there are many point of views from different people.

The only scene stuffs I download would have to be DVDRip, 720p or V2 music.

If I really liked the music I downloaded I would get either a V0 from What, I sometimes get the FLAC too to archive them but if I don't find it there I'll get it from either of the lossless trackers I'm on.

But usually the V0's will do for me.

i guess you are kinda right..i use my 0day trackers for the TV packs and thats because the speeds on TVT are well unreliable but for most of the other things i prefer niche trackers

[NippleCake]

I download from scc and sct regularly. If i want to check out a new tv show or dont want to wait for 720p rlses, i download xvid packs. I also download movies from them, although im straying away from that as SKALiWAGZ' encodes are of a much nicer quality. MP3 i download from what/db9 and if it isnt there its usually on scc. So i still think the 0day trackers have a big "market". Lots of people only download scene material, and thats there choice. Also with the speeds offered by scc/sct, many people will keep going back, as i have sometimes found specialised trackers to have unreliable speed, whereas sct offers me a network of hundreds of OVH's servers all blasting down my home connection :P

From the beginning of my torrenting days I was never into 0-days stuffs. Niche trackers are where most of my download come from. The rest of them are from TPB or Demenoid.

[no_bother]

I always loved 0day stuff. I get all my apps etc form 0day sites,too go with encoding my movies etc from other sites. I wont download the cams or screeners etc, usually wait till a R5 comes out,. but if I see a half decent rated scene version Ill grab that first. Also, I download games, so I use 0ay sties for that usually too, and up the on bitgamer and on BCG.

[redMonster]

Hmm I download mostly scene stuff because I am into more mainstream content which 0day trackers provide me with good speed. Concerning specialized trackers, I use what a lot. I rarely use BitMeTV. And PtP, it doesn't have too many seeds on the movies I want. So I end up using 0day trackers.

Also, DVDRiP quality of scene releases are good enough for me. I download only DVDRiPs because I don't have the bandwidth as well as an HDTV to enjoy HD content.

[james223]

I download mostly scene content because its most of the stuff I like, with fast speeds.
These days if your on a pretty good 0-day site the packs are great. Achieves with plenty of older content.

[Qlix]

I only use specialised trackers when it comes to music.

Other than that, 0day is everything I download and therefor the only trackers I save.

[t3rr1ble]

0day for 90% of the stuff I download.
I do not want to wait for it to pop up later on a non race tracker and I wouldnt even think about downloading a fake renamed file off something like tpb.

[wiseD]

The large majority of people will always want the latest stuff, and that reflects in the amount of 0day trackers out there atm.

I personally use 0day trackers for my TV, recent XviDs and the occasional app or game.

Other than that, specialised movie and music trackers.

[Stellar]

I use 0-day sites mostly for TV, games (unless BcG has it), movies, apps, and various packs. Sometimes I'll grab music if I haven't seen it elsewhere.

[brightsid]

For new TvSeries,movies and packs

[iNaru]

yea true , kinda useless , specialized sites like HDbits , waffles... rulez

[1000possibleclaws]

blu ray writers were too f'in expensive back when I had a 50" inch LCD.

The 1 gig hd scene tv shows are good enough for me and dvdrips look alright on my regular tv/laptop screen which is all I've got right now. Used to use specialized sites (aka HDBits) more often but with my current setup it'd just be wasting bandwidth and hdd space, cause I'd have no way of burning them and actually I don't even have a bluray player anymore...

[technodrome]

I download app on 0day trackers, anything else, i just use specialized trackers. For example, BCG for games, HD trackers for movies..

[NippleCake]

yea true , kinda useless , specialized sites like HDbits , waffles... rulez

and thats why you have a general tracker in your sig! :unsure::blink:

[TeHShadowZ]

For new TvSeries,movies and packs

thats got nothing to do with specialised vs 0day trackers :ermm:

[eric13]

some of the top specialised trackers are hard to seed like what.cd bitmetv etc so we need general and scene sites to fix ratios there lol

dude. popcornhour.com <= the shit, get one.

a-110.. you got questions, ask.

[respawn40]

The content I download most often actually happens to not be 0-day stuff. A lot of what I download are movies that came out 5, 10, 20 years ago, when I was too little or not yet born to see them; music, and games. I actually go to the theater quite often (I don't have to pay my own way...yet), so the only time I'm interested in 0-day movies is when I wasn't able to go to the theater to watch something that interested me.

So, I like sticking to tight-knit, niche trackers. I have one tracker for this, another for that, etc.

[Funkin']

I mainly use music trackers on a daily basis anymore. I use a general tracker maybe two times a week or so when I missed a show that night or when a new film becomes available.

[Roooney]

Gotta agree with alot of you guys, 0days aren't that great anymore. You need to have spezialised trackers these days to find what you need.
