I don't konw that point #1 is that stupid. Sometimes it takes days for new stuff to show up on newsgroups, at least complete enough to download it all. It was another reason I went back to torrents exclusivly. A few hours is one thing, but days?
Probably another stupid point but if you didn't know the precise second that something became "available" then would that really matter?
Especially since on newsgroups unlike bt you are not frequently ( passively or not) part of some competition as to how soon after a file is upped you can hop onto it to best "serve " your status.
Respect my lack of authority.
But since this is the golden age of information, we do know when something becomes available, even if all the BT sites just disapeared overnight.
As for serving my status, I don't get you. Unless your talking about just racers and uploaders. As an end user, I see no benefit to being on the torrent first vs 200th with ratio free sites...
I wasn't talk about you per se but referring to ratio building in general. As for knowing when something becomes available I think that legally vs bt-wise they are two completely different things so sites disappearing would more or less kill the availability that I was referring to .
More to the point , disregarding the fact that you (apparently) are getting things for free , don't you see that everything is subject to RL release dates and their associated marketing ploys and production delays which can and do frequently stretch into months so that ( apparently) worrying over a couple days of further waiting is at the very least a little silly?
I don't know maybe you are one of those people that line up two days before the box-office opens to get tickets for Star Wars but at least in that case there was a story to tell.
Here isn't it just another example (sorry) of a generation born to (over) privilege once again demonstrating it's lack of another virtue?
Not just grateful to have it but got to have it NOW!!!!
Btw this isn't a personal attack against you ,rather it's another pointless rant against a far too increasingly prevalent attitude.
Respect my lack of authority.
that idoleyes dude needs a lesson.
whenever people agree with me, i always feel i must be wrong.
I'll be happy if this post just doesn't get deleted like most of my other recent ones.
Maybe I should stick to "bump" and not offer an honest opinion or attempt to funny or friendly or anything.
Respect my lack of authority.
I am pretty sure that wasn't what he was referring to.He was more likely talking about the delay in files being shared in usenet even after the same file has been shared in private trackers days before.Why wait for something when the same stuff is available for free and has already been shared elsewhere?Originally Posted by Idoleyes

You won't find those rips available from x264 and SDBits, nor will you find the vast collection of movies that CG and KG has, nor will you find the rips available from Pedros or Exigo.You will find some stuff shared in these trackers in usenet, but by comparison, it is very low.What you will find thou, is a comprehensive archive of scene releases (Movies,TV,Music,Games,Apps etc), which you can download with maximum speed, no matter how old it is.At least, that has been my experience when I tried Astraweb for 1 month.
