to anyone who is less appreciative, why dont you see if you can
do a better job.
or have tv cable installed and pay to watch this when infact cos of release
groups like this we are getting this free and fast also. things happen! and
nothing is perfect always! so here is my word! thankx to all release groups who
try so hard to release these!!! and thankx for those who also release
proper!!!!!
most ppl do have traffic limits you know, we dont all live in countries where
unlimited traffic is an option and to see most of the popular shows to be nuked
by xor's releases is getting really annoying. you can't keep blaming it on
'things happen' anymore if they fuck up so many times.

cheers for the proper! all these dodgy xor releases are
starting to get a little annoying. maximum respect to xor though, over the years
they\'ve done hundreds of quality releases, but this season? it\'s been fairly
shoddy so far
slow and steady wins the race?

Quote by dsrs
slow and steady indeed!
fact is many of the reliable groups like lol appear less and less
because \'faster\' groups jump in with crap releases and get posted
once one release of a show is posted, it appears, no other releases are
considered, even if they are better made
the worst example of this is the canadian group caph, now everywhere.
they only started last year. all their early releases and many current
were/are defective
but because they live somewhere where shows are aired earlier than normal [i
guess canadians all go to bed at 8pm?] they get their releases out before any
competent group can
we should try to impress upon eztv and others that quality counts more than
speed, if indeed you agree to that
i agree with that 100%. but im a whinging bastard and i\'d just get ignored, im
sure..
it does seem however, that others also agree.. perhaps it is time people did say
\"no more crap!\" and boycotted the crap releases.. i hate to say it. i mean they
do something for the community that is a given, but have some damn pride in yer
work guys..
i don\'t go to a beautiful park to spend an hour in the golden sunlight smelling
the flowers in the cool breeze as it wafts over me, only to have the stench of
horse shit float by thanks to the circus that\'s decided to set up across the
street because it notices all the people it can take advantage of in the area.
i don\'t, i really don\'t.

because numpty, we don't all live in the yellow submarine.. i wouldn't give a
fuck about torrents, to be honest, if i could get the shows as they air where i
live. but i can't, and i rely on torrents to keep up.
and if i was somewhere that had shows aired before anyone else, and i was
releasing rips, i would make damn sure i released top quality because thats got
more shine on it than being faster but ultimately fucked up.
we see dozens of rips every day, that are perfect. why? there's no ego wanking.
god i wish i had direct feed to the shows, i'd make propers the first time...

some of us don't have such luxury with our bandwidth. i know here
in australia
we pay an arm and a leg for a tiny bit of bandwidth each month.
it's free so we should be happy things are rushed and the end result is crap
when a little care is all that's needed?
i actually included that in my rant just now, but snipped it coz i was just
blowing steam...
but it is a very damn good point.
i'm already getting close to my quota and don't want to get n0rked back to
64kbps for the rest of the month..
off peak, im fine.. but on peak, im skating on this ice as to what i do..

let's face it.. these groups don't even cap for you. in fact, they don't even
want you to download their releases at all. they would rather eztv did not
exist. they would rather their hard work was not spread to p2p (you). they
really don't give a shit if you like their releases/propers or not. so in the
words of god you can "just shut [the fuck] up about it."
dsrs, if you want the truth the reason you see less of lol these days is because
their main capper left. contrary to popular belief caph is not a new group..
it's an old group with a new name. i beg of you all for the nth time.. stop
talking about things you know nothing about. (aka spouting crap with
conviction, aka arrogance.)

where is this magical fantasy land where you can get shows before anyone else? i
might move there.
actually even if you had direct feeds to the shows i still doubt you'd have the
skill required to cap/release and not mess up. but in this entirely wonderful
hypothetical situation, i wish you luck.

a quote from 2002 on this matter that i've found somewhere. you might wanna read
it
Quote
most of you are pretty familiar with the tv rip scene
and its latest issues and problems. problems such
as the conundrum of speed vs. quality which i would
like to take a few moments to discuss with all of
you here today. for those of you who you don't know
what i'm referring to, this particular issue relates
to the fact that almost anyone can capture a video
feed of any tv show and release it in the 'scene'
system given he knows a thing or two about both.
gone are the days where (a) no one really cared about
ripping tv shows since no 'scene' site would accept
them and only true fans would bother to release
anything, often to public or private irc communities,
having 'scene' site ops who were interested in those
shows contact them directly to get them on their site
and (b) the days where gaining credits on sites by
uploading an enormous amount of tv rips regardless of
the show's quality (i'm referring to shows no one ever
watches and not the video/audio quality of the encodes.)
was considered ludicrous and no one would ever think
it possible...
this all poses a problem since now a lot of people have
found a sudden interest in releasing the said tv rips
to the 'scene' community. the 'scene' itself revolving
around a world of fast races and shortcuts, it isn't
surprising that we are in this position today. the
tv rip scene is unique due to two major
characteristics; the first being that almost everyone
has access to the release material at once, and the
other being that this very release material can be
extremely different in quality depending on where the
video feed is coming from and how it's manipulated all
throughout the process of encoding and packaging. in
the iso scene, such problems do not occur. for example,
not everyone can get access to games as fast as the
current leaders in that domain. could they get it
first, way before them and the stores, they would
still need to have experienced crackers on fast
connections that could be able to crack the game's
various protections schemes. it often happens that
more than one group gets the release material at the
same time, but in the end, no matter who would have
released it first, the end user's experience would
have been the same. both releases would have been
identical, the only difference having been the way
the protection schemes would had been dealt with,
something that doesn't affect in any way the quality
of the release. either it works, or it doesn't. if the
game requires a crack to be applied, and the crack
doesn't work, the release is no good and it's nuked.
it's much harder to draw the line between a good and a
bad release in the tv rip scene seeing as though a lot
of people consider that whenever and however a release
is made, it's all over and we're all satisfied. as long
as there isn't any major problems with it, "it's all
good", the general consensus stipulates. whatever
happened to quality? for a lot of people that's
important. people such as me enjoy archiving those
tv series and seeing them more than once. "let's find
the best source possible and make it the nicest encode
we can before releasing it so the end user's experience
will be tremendous." sadly, that philosophy cannot hold
in the current context. would you allow yourself to
think as such and wish to provide everyone with a
release which meets your quality standards, you'd
have close to no one to share it with in the 'scene',
their sites having already been filled up with speedy
releases whose quality could only be described as merely
'good enough'. who will you rather release for in times
such as these, the masochist 'scene' who willingly
plagues itself with such apparently unsolvable problems
or the true fans out there who rely upon you for quality
material? sometimes, you just need to find a way to
satisfy both. the 'scene' brought it upon itself to
receive this release we are presenting you today in its
current form.
