#1: Why do people use "." in between words in a filename, instead of spaces? ie: "Legend.of.the.damned.2003.avi"
probably dont want to break rss feeds
#2: Why do people RAR files, when it seems they are the same size un-rared. I've read that it's done because if there is a problem with one file, you only have to download that ONE small file again; but with BT checking each piece, is it really needed?
well this is about "scene" rulez
#3: Why do some files have 3 sub files instead of 1?
3 subs? if you talking about subtitles this is normal cuz scene releases can have more subs se,eng,bla bla

Sorry if these questions are silly and if my english is making it hard to understand what I ask!

Thanks to you!

you look like a little newbie so read forum post and tutorials and be alittle more active for bittorent...
about trackers i can suggest both ScT or scc for you...
both have great speeds, packs on free leechs

Check out IPTorrents & Bitsoup are comprehensive and their torrents are easy to seed. I don't know about freeleech, but if you are reasonable, it should be really easy to build up a ratio. I also recommend them because Bitsoup is open several times a day and IPTorrents is the easiest invite site to get into.

The file names use "." because spaces cause issues on Linux systems.

Rars are used because bittorrent is not the original method of distribution. But they are better anyway because they archive the content for a long, long time, whereas that avi could become corrupt.

Subs are often ripped to make room. Often what is included depends on the source and the group's preference. Multi/custom sub releases often have subs added so more people can watch.

If you looking for movies then ScL is tracker for you.All packs are freeleech and they have many movies.

For movies, I'd recommend PTN. Plus it's suited for people with low speeds. Don't expect porn there, though. If you want unrared movies, go for PassThe Popcorn (should be a lot easier to get). Both sites have got a bonus system to help you maintain a ratio.
Now on to the questions:
1) Probably has something to do with problems with filenames with spaces. I'm no expert, though.
2) Scene standards. There's a site called allaboutthescene, I think.
3) Different languages?

SCL is wat u r lookin for trust mye

[taboga100]

Thank you all for your quick replies! Very helpful to me. As for the sub files, I wasn't referring to multiple language files; they just have different extensions. Its ok i may not be giving enough information for you to know what I'm babbling about.

As for my email address, I left it because I dont have PMs here yet and some people prefer not to mention site names, or where they visit, in a public place. Its no problem though.

Thanks once again!

Also, I have a few questions:

#1: Why do people use "." in between words in a filename, instead of spaces? ie: "Legend.of.the.damned.2003.avi"
#2: Why do people RAR files, when it seems they are the same size un-rared. I've read that it's done because if there is a problem with one file, you only have to download that ONE small file again; but with BT checking each piece, is it really needed?

Usually the person uploading is getting the files from Scene FTP's and the groups there have certain rules and quality control that the releases must meet.

Since most of new users really seem to care about pre-times the uploader most of the time just uploads it like he got it from the scene, which is in .rar format and using the labeling standards of the scene.

#3: Why do some files have 3 sub files instead of 1?

This one I am not to sure why so I cant comment on it.
