I actually think this is a good idea. Will consider it in the future :)
A VPN isn’t enough to stay safe, not if you’re operating at the level of scene release groups. It’s the most illegal thing that you can do in the pirate world. It’s several years of jail if you get busted. If a kid get caught seeding a torrent, the punishment won’t be that harsh, but actually providing the whole world with the most fresh stuff is something different.
If you care about torrents it’s fine, but a lot of people don’t care about it and have other methods of leeching. You can take a look at FXP (for starters).
Yes, the nukes actually have reasons, here’s one overview: https://predb.net/status/nuked/
But there is something important to understand: we’re not talking about torrents here. Torrenting is one of the unsafest ways to actually pirate stuff but for most people it’s the easiest.
The Scene has rules on how to release things. If one of these rules are broken, the release will get nuked and the group can release a fix/proper release. Just take a look at some of the reasons on the link I provided :)
Yeah… Don’t really understand but whatever ^^ I just tried to answer the question :D
I love to share those :)
Ah I see, thx for the info. Also just found the app list now ;)
I only have informations about the releases as they are pred, no tracker stuff.
What information about the nukes are you thinking of? Specify it a little bit more and I’ll check if I can make it happen :)
So, what’s “Sync for lemmy” or Jerboa? I have no clue. The links are working on the web version, it’s the only thing I can test or fix :/
- The circle jerk stuff get’s embedded automatically because of the wiki articles (I can’t see that on the web version). Read them and you’ll understand more.
- The scene is not interested in torrenting. Torrent is just the most insecure way to leech whatever you want. Maybe “Normal people” should find alternatives.
- Release groups are the first to release anything. Whatever you leech out there was firstly release by a release group.
You’re very welcome :)
Bookware is everything related to e-learning: https://predb.net/section/BOOKWARE/
The name comes from ages ago, often the content from Magazine/Books CD’s/DVD’s = Bookware. Nowadays it’s 100% e-learning vod rips.
Should I rename the section to elearning (or something similar)?
You’re welcome :)
I’ve actually build per category feeds last year. The RSS link is also updated per category in the <head>.
https://api.predb.net/feed/section/GAMES/ (GAMES can obviously be replaced by any other category) https://api.predb.net/feed/group/SUXXORS/ (SUXXORS can obviously be replaced by any other group)
https://predb.net/sections/ Here you can find all valid sections. As I’m cleaning up the DB the numbers of each section change overtime.
I think it’s enough to rip VOD’s. But to be honest, it’s been a coupüle of years since i last saw something like a XXX DVD or BD 😅
You’re welcome, I like to share these stats :)
Arrr.
Really? That’s strange, just tested and it’s working fine (wiki links). Or did a moderator already fixed it?
You can read more about nukes here (also linked on the top of the post).
TLDR A release can get nuked for different reasons:
- Not compliant to official scene rules
- Dupe (means: another group was faster)
- Not working (Game crack doesn’t work)
- Etc.
Practically “Nuked” means “don’t spread” to other servers and “disgrace” for the release group ;)
Another example:
A group with a lot of releases have a higher chance of getting more nukes.AFO had 22.576 releases and 256 nukes.
I checked the nukes and most of them are so called “dupe” nukes. That means, another group released the same “thing” before them. So the other group won the race.Why would the scene need two versions of the same thing? That’s wasted space on the harddrive, so the later release gets nuked. That’s what happened a lot to AFO in 2023. Another group was just faster
