Megaupload shitdown

My point was this would continue until a decent service comes along, yet this thread came to the torrents vs warez.

My point is still the same here. I don't care which. I'll take it where I can find it.

[swindle]

So, I'm a noob, and I'm not ashamed.

If you don't use TPB, what do you use?

New Zealand Post.

Seriously, better to spend $200 on an external and send it to folks you know for media than try and download via torrents.

Wasn't so hard, was it?




Sure don't. Ape seems to get a rough stick of it these days :<





err...

Still 7 gigs too big. I can get 3-4 movies in the space it takes you to get 1. But whatever. If you're happy wasting storage and bandwidth (and spending 2 days to do such), who am I to say it's wrong?



No it won't. It'll continue long after a service as such comes along too. But a service such as that would legitimise this method of distribution... we can't have that. All internet distribution is piracy, and needs to be punished.

Also, torrents vs warez?
How young are you? Because that shit doesn't even make sense.
warez is just an old school slang for pirated data. Torrents are just a method of obtaining such data. They are in no way able to 'vs' each other.

2 Days was an exaggeration, if I'm downloading 10GB at between 2-5Mbps do you really think it will take me 2 days (50mins is about right)? I was exaggerating the fact that if a service such as Netflix did hit our shores it would probbably be based in Australia or here due to the fact that our local speeds are much better than our international and a deal with the ISPs to sweeten things even further would great for all three involved parties.

Yes it will, at least back to less than a few percent of the population. Will just take a century for the politics to get it right.

I just thought it was hilarious that one of the dumber forum members was calling the most intelligent member dumbarse.

Bitches don't know about the early days.

Royals

Whether through virtue, contribution, force of personality or sheer longevity certain forum participants will rise to form an aristocracy. While it is generally taboo to openly acknowledge the class distinctions, the hierarchy is well understood by all. While for the most part the Royals rule with magnanimity, they will not tolerate impertinence from the hoi polloi. It is their habit to remain aloof from petty squabbles among their subjects, but when full-scale war breaks out their intervention can be decisive.

Spoiler :

I can forsee this thread making a triumphant return once the Kordia cable and Netflix properly gets to New Zealand.

The sentence was supposed to be as follows: "....torrents verses filesharing sites to obtain warez." I keep managing to tap to select, then as I continue typing it deletes the text that is selected. Yes I have searched cydia for a tweak and haven't found one yet.

LoL nope, only if you're a retard at encoding.

I'm a retard at encoding, but I don't encode them.
Jonty knows what I'm talk'n 'bout.


Conclusion: most things people think are good, are generally a waste of storage space. The scene used to be a place for quality. Now it's a fucking joke.

Can fit a whole 360 more p's into a file under a third the size.
Can fit BETTER quality into a file a tenth of the size of one with all the p's.

Why not do it?

I find your post amusing.  The majority of 2 - 2.5Gb 1080p movies I have sampled have been pixelated to the point of being unwatchable in dark scenes.  Plus in regards to the sound, yes it's heavily compressed and very noticeable when running through a decent home theater system....

Also, bitching about scene quality and being a joke now is irrelevant as a lot of the smaller 2Gb 1080's you download/ watch are basically re-encodes of already encoded scene movies, just with special filters and over sharpening to make it look semi decent.   Try reading an .nfo file for the source. But hey, if your happy watching a turd thats been over polished and think it's better quality than the source, go right ahead.  I'll be happy with my 4.5 - 8GB 720p movies knowing they will look and sound a shit load better than your 2Gb movie...
Those comparison screenshots you posted will never prove anything of any substance either unless you post the same scene from the same movie in both pics, but then that won't help your claims either will it...
Next you'll be telling us a 128kb mp3 is better than a 320 or v0 as it's a smaller size, more compressed but that doesn't matter aye?

Hey, thanks for assuming everything about nothing!

[Pyromanik]

I find your choice in cars amusing. You think your new mini is cool, but it's not. It's heavily enlarged to the point where it's only small, and unparkable in tight spots. Plus it sounds like shit. It's basically just a rehash of the old mini, but if you actually bothered to read the .nfo you'd see that it's made by BMW. GOSH. You can be happy driving your modern polished turd all you want, meanwhile I'll be rolling in my stylish classic.

Next you'll be telling me your girls car can beat a motorcycle off the line, even though the bike has about the same power and 1/10th the weight, but that doesn't matter aye?

Wow, you come across as being really butthurt because someone didn't agree with the crap you posted...

[Pyromanik]

Nope. Just assuming you drive a BMW mini the same way you assume that after telling everyone that I think scene rips are shit that I watch re-encoded scene rips.

You're a fucking herpderp, and anything you say now has already been invalidated by your previous derpery. BL chump. Forever on the back foot.

You don't know shit about what I watch, how I watch it and where I source it from. The same way I have NFI what kind of car you drive.

Yep, you are butt hurt.  I'd still like to know how a 2Gb 1080p movie can be better quality than a 4-7Gb movie...  But seeing as you know everything I'll leave you to this thread and your musings..

I would imagine it is actually possible you know. I'm sure you could intentionally munge the encoding of the 4 - 7GB movie to make it look like crap. Size <> quality

[Arnifix]

@DTSnz have you guys served any infringement notices yet?
@Arnifix sorry for delay, no we haven't, as we have not been issued with any applicable notices from rights holders
@DTSnz interesting! does that mean you have been issued with inapplicable/invalid notices and not distributed them? If so, bravo!
@Arnifix essentially we have asked international holders to follow the NZ process under the act and had no response, so no action taken
@DTSnz wow! wonder how much buying all those politicians to implement an ineffective law they won't even use cost them. More than piracy?

I love my ISP. Tells big content off and doesn't afraid of anything.

Encode it yourself and find out.

Now you sound butthurt about being wrong and trying to evade looking like a retard by shifting focus back on me. S'cool though, every thread needs a few retards. Looks like you an pyro make a good tag team.

Ironically today I saw one of your re-encodes you automatically assumed is what I was talking about.
Looked like absolute shit, like a larger version of the old 700Mb xvid rips of days past.

Size <> quality

I figure you're too butthurt moron to figure out that it's a "not equal to" symbol there Randomized, so I just thought I'd spell it out here for you.

I never thought of you as an idiot, but you leave me no choice. Encoding is an art, a n00b can create a 4 - 7gb file which is shit quality. Believe it.

You guys are all being eggs by the way. Take it to AfterDawn.

[dirtyape]

...but in saying that, it is generally true that a correctly encoded movie which is larger will be of superior quality to a similarly encoded movie which of lower size. But that should really go without saying. Quality is dependant on the encoder. But really you don't notice things until you get to 20+ gb as then you get proper blue ray frame rates. Scene don't do these.
