CHDBits open interview!

[IdolEyes787]

What's a "HD fan " anyway?
I think that without exception everyone would much rather watch a clear picture than a fuzzy one. Or maybe to be classified as a true "fan" you just need to really anal about it.

[shipwreck]

That's simply wrong and can be easily proven wrong by looking at the stickied torrents alone.

Not sure what your agenda is, but you're talking nonsense.

Sorry dude you are wrong and I have no agenda. Those are DIY BDs with the tag @CHDBits not CHDBits. There is a difference.
On an initial BD release it is limited so it takes 3 days to seed. Just wait for the next BD to be released, which will probably be The Green Hornet. As long as another site doesn't get it first they will limit the upload speed.

First of all, the competition from the other chinese trackers is so strong these days that your "3 days to download" theory makes no sense whatsoever. The chinese trackers tend to release major Blu-rays about the same time, some a bit earlier than others, usually only a few hours between them. CHDBits isn't actually always the fastest to release them, far from it, but their releases tend to be those that get spread fastest. I'm on most major chinese HD trackers and have seen this happen countless times - and never did it take 3 days to download a Blu-ray.

Second, the chinese trackers actually reacted to the 'problem' of other trackers / groups using their source for their encodes by releasing their own internal group encodes first before the full Bluray. This seems to be the general rule now, with the exception of releasing the full Blu-ray if the other (chinese) trackers have done so already. This is even more so the case when it comes to chinese movies, due to the increased pressure by the chinese authorities. So there simply is no reason whatsoever to artificially slow down uploads anymore, if there ever was.

Has anyone even confirmed whether this is legit from the actual site CHDBits?

It is, it's posted in the tracker forums, too (international section).

Exactly

I never paid attention to CHD before, but this stunt demonstrates that they're nothing special

CHDBits is a great site and their internal group is one of the best HD groups around. I just don't get all this crap that is being thrown at the site for this. It's not like there are no alternatives. HDChina have just opened their gates and their criteria for new members is a lot less demanding (30GB upload and 30GB download in the first month). If you can't / down't want to fulfill the CHDBits criteria and are looking for a great HD tracker, why not just register there?

Hmm, I should have clarified. I know of the group and have watched at least 1 of their releases before (I didn't particularly like it, it was missing forced subtitles), I just never paid attention to their TRACKER/SITE.

Well, why would anyone avoid throwing crap at it? I mean, when you sling feces, it's nice to have a target instead of just throwing it into the abyss. As chance would have it, someone opened a thread about it and bingo, target. I mean everything I saw in the first post was pretty ridiculous; with circles and a center dot begging for the brown.

All chinese encoding groups don't include subtitles in their releases, which indeed is a pity, CHD are no exception. The reason for this is speed - groups like CHD or WiKi are very fast with their encodes, and to OCR subtitle streams simply takes a lot of time. However, subtitles are usually available seperately on the tracker after a while, including English ones.

This doesn't mean that the quality of their encodes suffers though. Despite the speed, they are excellent.

Just been talking to a couple of guys who have already been invited. One has uploaded 100 GB in his first 5 hours. Seedbox of course.

Here's another one who has missed, ENTIRELY, what has been said...

It is not a matter of disbelief that one can, or cannot, seed the 1 TB in a month- it is the fact that it is ENTIRELY STUPID and POINTLESS to do so. Many of us are substantial downloaders who have been doing this for several years, and it takes most of us months, or even years, to actually make USE of the data we are sharing.

Let me say that again for the slow... USE.

It is happening right now with Legally Blonde 2 2003 BluRay 1080p AVC DTS-HDMA 5.1-CHDBits
It is limited to 150KB/s. I have been on the site for a long time now and know the uploaders so I think I know what I am talking about a little more than you. Also they release the encodes first because they believe they won't get in trouble from their government, they have gotton in trouble before for releasing the full BDs too early and actually have them way before they get to release them. The 3 days download originated because the do not distribute for 3 days rule was not being followed. So they limit their bandwidth to ensure it is on the site for 3 days before it is spread.

Then don't try to join the tracker if you are not going to use it. 1TB goes by very quick when downloading large files

[shipwreck]

Yeah, totally makes sense to intentionally slow down the upstream of a crap movie that has already been released by the traditional scene days ago. Whatever you say, this is pointless.

[hotshot6473]

just pay a more attention next time, this happens with 90% of the full BDs. Whether scene releases something or not means nothing on trackers like CHDBits and HDB, all people care about are internals and sources so they will gladly wait for them to be released

[shipwreck]

You may have to read more carefully yourself. Going by that argument, which I actually used myself, basically all more or less 'important' releases these days are first released as encodes, the full Bluray added later on. Every single major release of the past few months was handled this way. It's not because of "fear of the chinese authorities" as you claim, that only concerns chinese movies aimed at the domestic market, as already explained (the chinese government couldn't care less about Hollywood studios being screwed), it's because they don't want other trackers / groups use their source before their own have done so.

And for that reason alone, nevermind the competition from the other trackers, artificially reducing upstream bandwidth makes no sense. Has it ever occured to you that the original uploader may simply not have more bandwidth at his proposal? But whatever, this more or less off-topic discussion is leading nowehere.

[hotshot6473]

What I am telling you is straight from the uploaders mouth. They purposely limit the bandwidth and release encodes first because they will not get in trouble for them. As soon as another site releases the same BD disk when they are limiting the bandwidth they will release their limit and will start seeding at about 6MB/s because there is no longer a point of limiting it because it has already spread on another site.They limit it so it stays on their site and there is no point of limiting it anymore once it gets released somewhere else
