ACCUMULATED RELEASE SIZE FOR FEBRUARY 2024

From the 55.551 scene releases, only 30.661 of them had file + size information.

They total to: 30,25 TB (30.257.808 MB) in 333 thousand files (322.964).

No idea about the size of the missing information, so the real value should be much higher.

Release groups hate torrents because they can be traced by that.

[–] strahlemann@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

no release group ever heard of something like a VPN or I2P?

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You do know that the scene predates I2P by a long long time,right?

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

So how exactly were they supposed to use i2p?

[–] strahlemann@feddit.de 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

do we live in current year or not?

Good luck migrating the entire infrastructure on a technology that has just started to provide faster than broadband era speeds.

infrastructure

lmao. it's not that hard to rip a movie and create a torrent

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).
