    Given how quickly people grabbed the Mandalorian NZBs yesterday and how many downloads there were, I was curious --- is there a way to see the Top Ten NZB downloads from this site? I would guess it's probably a bunch of Star Wars/Star Trek/Harry Potter movies, but I'd be willing to be surprised...

    I just checked, and there's none I have access to at least.

    Think how many TV shows/series would blow any numbers from these movies/series.....

    Game of Thrones....Just how many hits from the leaked eps.....

    Sopranos....

    Breaking Bad......

    Sex in the City.....

    And lots more that would blow away the ones you posted....Really the real junkies of the ones you posted do want actual Blu ray/4k hard copies with shiny boxes

    I know from the sites i go to show those facts.....The other stat that would be interesting , but may not work here is what formats/quality are most downloaded??

    Well, that's also a function of what is uploaded. Seems that there are quite a few releases that only come in 720p and 1080p these days.

    Just grabbed the ION10 release of Man in the High Castle (prefer to waste 4 GB on my NAS rather than 16 GB for the 720p version). But grabbed that one from the one-click hosts because apparently the IOn10 releases don't get posted to the newsgroups? Or if they do, my indexers don't pick them up...

    Now the question is... What is a better quality,

    The Man in the High Castle S04E01 XviD-ZMNT

    The Man in the High Castle S04E01 PROPER 480p x264-mSD

    Or the MP4 ION10 version that is also posted on you know where and lots lots more

    I think we have had the conversation that MP4 is an Mac/Apple format as well.......

    MP4 is derived from Apple's work, but it is an open standard. Also, it should be noted that it is a container, not a codec like some people believe. In other words, saying "AVI is a Microsoft format" would make as much sense

    Did i say it was exclusive format/container/compression/and on and on??

    My comment Anon was it is recognized and made for efficiency/language for Mac/Apple products, did it exists before there products came out??

    I didn't mention Beta-max in my comment did i buddy..

    Can you play every Microsoft PC game on a Mac?? or vise versa?? Why?? What happens if you bought Microsoft Office for Mac for your PC, will it work??

    But the actual saved files??

    Are you denying that AVI format was not designed for Microsoft language/format/container/compression/codec, to work with there operating system?? MPEG??

    Again I didn't say anything about sharing....And we won't get into AAC vs Pro/Logic/AC3/DD/DTS/Atmos and many others either buddy

    PS... Really Anon, when Mac/Apple products first came out, did they play every format out of the box out there?? Or did you have to add a a program/codec or whatever you want to call it, for it to work?? That was kind of my point, that's all.....

    Can you play Sony exclusive games or Microsoft or Nintendo consoles?? Why??

    Edit: And the bigly Anon, where did MKV compression come from, and now one of the bigly standards

    None of the above is anywhere close to being on my mind so I totally don't get the title of the thread. As for the Disney shit, I'm boycotting it on principle. The principle being I have zero interest in the sort of pap they produce.

    That and with Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, Mobil etc I think we already have more than enough evil empires.

    Amazing all those evil empires and the employees that invent all of those terrible things you use every day, or that entertain you....

    I see no irony in that one bit. Better you should read a book from your E-Reader that you downloaded from the internet for free

    I don't have an e-reader and everyone pays to use the internet. Strike deux, mouton.
