Hi
I have HDBits, which is my favourite site, so I'm wondering if I should go after SDBits?
What do folk here, who are members there, think of it?
Cheers

well if you like the high definition content of HD-Bits, you might want to check out Bit-hdtv of other high def trackers. SDbits caters to people who like Standard Def formats. Goem or x264 are better trackers than SD-Bits in my opinion, but SD-bits is still very new and may one day meet of improve the content of those other 2 trackers.
Hi TSOL
Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated. It's interesting you mention goem because that's the other site I'm curious about. lol
SDBits is an excellent tracker with around 2000 DVD & mkv encodes. Their internal tv shows packs are awesome. :yup:
If you're addicted to HD content and don't afraid of downloading big files already, then I suggest you not go for SDbits. I remember there were 10k members when SDbits first started and now there are only about 4k members.
The good thing about SDbits is that there are many good season packs that are available in SD only.
if you want untouched DVDs or DVD x264encodes -yes
other wise no, dont wast your time like i did
if your gonna be looking for invite, look in hdbits forum
SDBits is all about quality encodes, if you care about quality, go for it.
I couldn't agree more, it has hdbits trademark all over it. ;) :cool:Quote:

About SDbits: do they provide subtitles with their releases like on HDbits? English is not my first language so I like to watch english movie with english subs.
Anyone can upload subs for any release I think. There is an add subs option.
the site is for who don't much care quaility and likes compact file size,
and of course love movies. :)
That is good to know. I may try to join this tracker, thank you :)Quote:

sd bits is part of my collection, sometimes you dont really need HD for a certain movie, and want to get it rather quickly. that or sometimes you are strapped for HDD space.
you can download dvd quality 1.5gig movies in about 25 minutes if you can d/l at 1mB/s
My main concern about x264/mkv files for SD content is that they are not compatible with standalone DVD players. XviD are more convenient in this way...
you and everyone else =pQuote:

In the future though, hopefully at least, x264 will replace it, on standalone blu ray players alike. i cant see any other outcome....
also, if you have a laptop, and i think most people do nowadays (at least 1 in their house), you can just keep those x264 vids on the computer and hook the laptop up to the tv. that's what i do and it works wonderfully.
in fact they're all about quality encodes > filesize...Quote:

Thanks for the info. That's how I signed up a couple of weeks ago. I did a search for SDBITS on HDBITS and found the link you are referring to which allowed me to sign-up with no invite.
I wasn't aware of this facility when I started this thread, obviously.
My standalone player handles mkv/.x264 with ease (the popcorn hour). There's also the Western Digital HD player which works great.Quote:

He often says things that are supposedly smart, but in reality, there is emptiness behind all his "smart" talk.
If SDBits/HDBits were such shitholes, you wouldn't have made 11 posts somehow revolving around them.
Hdbits is not a shithole, but sdbits is.Quote:

p.s. I'm only telling you the truth. This wasn't meant as a flame.
Lol.
id have to say this site is just ok. The content is lacking, user base is small, and seeding opportunities are lacking. Very niche content... Untouched DVD nonscene and x264 rips. So its pretty much what you can rip yourself. Ill be honest i find more dvd9 on tdc and bithq than on this site and its easier to seed. Id download more there if there was enough snatches and more freeleech to make it easier to seed. You cant download any season packs cuz there huge and only 1 or 2 people download each of them. If you dont have your own retail dvd9's or a netflix acct your kinda out of luck. And if you have those you probably dont need the site. The sites really only good for x264 if you like that and theres other sites with more content and easier seeding like x264. Hopefully the site turns around a bit.
edit.. they can probably take a hint from sparvar, another small website with a small userbase, similiar content, and a good amount of snatches and activity.
