Q1: What’s this web site all about?
A: Release Log, more commonly known as rlslog, is a wordpress (and proudly so) powered web site that covers the freshest and greatest releases from ‘The Scene’. It was founded in January 2006 as one of the first (if not the first) web site dedicated to covering Scene releases in more detail than say just the NFO or just the torrent. Updated multiple times a day, rlslog posts articles on popular scene categories such as XviD (Movies), TV-Rip (TV Shows), ODAY (Mainly Applications), MP3 (Music) and PC Games (Games) . We also regularly post tech news, relevant to the P2P/Internet rights, hardware/software community. Posts which relate about news and the goings-on of our web site will go into the Site News category.
The main aim for us is to write about new releases as fast as we possibly can, while being brief and to the point. We collect all of the most important information needed for each release such as snapshots, samples, NFOs and technical specifications laid out in a professional layout so you don’t have to go multiple web sites to get the information you need. Almost every post includes a review or opinion by the editor (first paragraph), screen cap’s for the release, and plot outline. Towards the end of each post you will find important links, and also an option to download the torrent file* discussed in the article. You can find more general info about rlslog at our About page.
A: rlslog is run by a small but dedicated group of individuals from around the world, all in their free time and FOR FREE. The actual number of staff fluctuates from time to time as new staff are added and old staff leave but usually there are about 10 active and around 5 inactive staff. It takes a lot work to keep rlslog maintained and up to date for you so leave an editor a nice comment just to show you appreciate their work.
Q3: How does rlslog obtain scene releases?
A: It totally depends on the individual editor. Some editors have access to topsites, some have access to private trackers, some use UseNet, others use IRC and some have a mix of different sources. All staff have access to pre channels which allows us to post a release as fast as possible. The majority of our editors come from a BitTorrent background, but their are few that use the above sources including topsites. We of course only use these sources to check releases and not to download them…
Q4: Can i get in trouble with the authority’s for visiting rlslog?
A: rlslog is a purely informative site, we do not host any illegal content. rlslog does not host the .torrent files or the sample links that can be found in our posts. Nor do we upload these ourselves.
Even if some Copyright lobbies think that downloading .torrent file constitutes copyright infringement we know better, the .torrent files you can download from the links on rlslog are nothing more than metadata and checksums. The data that you receive from downloading a .torrent file is found in the individuals computer and not on the rlslog or newtorrents servers. The sample links especially the video samples most likely fall under Fair Use as they are all under a minute and again we just link to the samples we do not host or upload them. Not a single byte of copyrighted data is stored on the rlslog or newtorrents servers. Furthermore the .torrent files we link to are hosted on a different site (NTi). On top of that NTi is not even a tracker so it does not help in anyway to downloading material beyond a .torrent file. So to that end there is no conceivable way that you can get in trouble for visiting rlslog. You wouldn’t close down a news channel because they informed on murders, robbery’s etc would you?
Q5: When I connect to rlslog i get a ‘could not connect to database’ or similar error (505).
A: An error message like this means that our server is overloaded and cannot handle anymore requests. This happens at peak hours as the number of visitors increases. Wait a few minutes and try again. We will be upgrading our server soon to try and eliminate these problems. Recently we deactivated the star rating system and this has helped a lot in keeping server load down. These error messages should be minimal now. However due to the popularity of the site we are finding it hard to keep up with the increasing number of visitors and thus error messages like this cannot be avoided completely.
Q6: Why are there so many advertisements on rlslog?
A: Any webmaster will tell you that advertisements are necessary to keep any site online and free. All of the money generated from the advertisements are put to towards server costs which are very expensive! We try to keep ads that promote rogue software off of rlslog but this is hard to do as we do not personally choose which ads are to run and which are to not. If you find a particular advertisement to be promoting the use of rogue software email us and we will look into it. We also wont run any XXX ads.
Q7: Why is there so many spelling errors on this site?
A: Spelling is not at the top of our list when putting together a post. English is not most of our editor’s mother tongue, although we try to keep it professional by using spell-checkers. Constantly leaving comments that regard the minutest spelling or grammatical mistakes is not just only annoying and a waste of time, but is also very insulting as we are doing this in our free time at no cost to you. Unless there is a massive mistake all of these comments will be deleted as spam. Even if English is that editor’s native language, they are going to make mistakes from time to time even with a spell checker. As long as its coherent and readable then its fine by us. Usually if one editor finds a spelling /grammatical error in his post or an other editor’s post, he will try to correct it in a timely matter.
Q8: Why is the site being updated slowly at the moment?
A. We usually aim to post a new release as fast as possible. However there are going to be times when no one is going to be available to put a post together at that exact time. We try to keep these gaps to a minimum but they cannot be eradicated completely. All of our editors are human beings with their own personal lives and jobs. These factors remain first on their priority list, and so if a popular release is not posted in a timely manner, that is the reason behind it. Particular times of the year (such as Christmas) will also factor into the posting activity on the site.
Q9: A rlslog staff member said a particular release was great/rubbish and it isn’t..
A. Editor’s comments on whether a movie/game/app etc is good or not is simply their opinion on it. It is not meant as a serious review, if you want a serious review use the links to the review sites that are included in the post. Calling an editor and idiot or a moron or whatever because you think a particular movie/game/app etc is great and they didn’t is uncalled for and that comment will be deleted along with the comment poster being banned if they do it multiple times. We are not saying that you cannot disagree with what an editor has said but please do so in a polite and logical way. If you strongly feel that an editor has written something really outrages then email us and we will evaluate the article in question.
Q10: A rlslog staff member wrote a comment that is against the rules.
A. First of all make sure that this comment actually came from a rlslog editor. If the comment doesn’t have 
next to it then its most likely someone trying to impersonate a staff member. Make sure the comment uses this image and doesn’t just say staff in text. If it is a real editors comments then email us and we will evaluate the comment as well as further action being taken if necessary.
Q11: Why are so many of the torrent links on rlslog not linking to a .torrent file?*
A. This is a news web site ONLY. We don’t host any of the torrents. Nor do we upload the torrents. The torrent link that is used in our articles is usually just a search of NTi. It does not take to much more effort to copy and paste the release name into your favorite BitTorrent tracker/indexer/searcher etc now does it? If the post says something along the lines of ‘coming soon’ or something similar it means that NTi hasn’t been updated with that particular torrent because we are to fast. 
Usually users will post extra links to the particular product in question in the comments section.
Q12: Why do rlslog staff members always link to torrents on NewTorrents.info?
A. NewTorrents.info (NTi) is a torrent indexing site and was founded by the same people who now make up the bulk the of the staff on rlslog. For that reason rlslog usually only links to torrents on NTi. An exception to posting only NTi torrents will occur sometimes, but it is up to the discretion of the editor and is usually done so with a good reason.
Q13: What are the rules for posting comments?
A. Comments are a tricky business; some users want us to delete the offensive/off topic/racist etc comments which is understandable, but others, however, don’t want us to delete these comments as they consider it a form of censorship. After careful deliberation, we have decided that even though we consider censorship to be bad thing, there are always going to be people who will abuse the comment system. So to that end we will try to remove any and all comments that do not follow our very simple rules:
No racism, homophobia or similarly abusive behavior. No spamming. No useless Off topic posts (including 1st posts).
Easy right? Just follow these three simple rules and everything will be fine. If a poster goes against these rules the comment will be deleted as well as in extreme cases the commenter banned. The staff’s decision on comment related acts are final, don’t email us whining about how you were treated unfairly and above all don’t post another comment saying ‘why did you delete my comment?!’ or something, this will earn you a swift ban. You can however mail us if you feel we have missed a comment that needs to be deleted. Email us and we will evaluate the comment in question.
Q14: Does rlslog release any sort of warez? (e.g. releases tagged -RLSLOG or torrents with a link to rlslog in the description)
A. Absolutely not, rlslog.net (which includes all staff members and administrators) does not release any kind material. If you find a torrent or release that is tagged as rlslog or links to rlslog then this is done by a third party and not done by anyone who is affiliated with rlslog.net. PERIOD. We do not wish for our name to be used in release names but this is out of our control.
Update: We have a notable exception to the above: VA_-_RLSLOG-2nd-Anniversary-in-Memory-of-Scit-2CD-2008-RLSLOG. THE ABOVE STILL APPLYS.
Q15: Where do rlslog staff members get their nuke and dupe information from?
A. Pre Channels.
Q16: Can you invite me to one of your pre channels then?
A. Yea sure, click here for the info… But seriously pre channels are private and they are private for a reason. You need to have the right connections to be invited to one. Don’t ask us to invite you to one because the answer will always be no. Simply because we don’t know who you are and is not because it makes use feel high and mighty or whatever.
Q17: Does rlslog have an IRC channel?
A. rlslog DOES have a public IRC channel. Click here for the info. The staff also have a private IRC channel where we combine our resources to bring you faster posts. This channel is private, passworded and encrypted so please do not try to find or join it as it will be a waste of time.
Q18: Does rlslog have a forum?
A. Yay, we have! We launched a shiny new forum at the beginning of March 2008 at Forums.Rlslog.net. Feel free to visit!
Q19: What do I need to do in order to post at that forum?
A. You need to register a user account, enter valid email address and confirm it by clicking on the activation link, which will be sent to you.
Q20: Can I become a staff member?
A. We will publish a post when we are actively looking for new staff, however we will always look at someone’s request to be a staff member at any time, so drop us an email if you think you are 1337 enough ;).
Q21: How can i get in contact rlslog?
A. You can contact us at rlslog@gmail.com. Please make sure you have an appropriate subject title, otherwise it might get caught in the spam filters.

pretty nicely done.it’ll sure satisfy the queries of newcomers.
and by the way, lol @
Q: Can you invite me to one of your pre channels?
A. Yea sure, click here for the info.
Seriously? ppl actually asks questions like these.
wow! this is great for the begginers. the page about invites, whoever made it, was a comical genious. thats really funny!
then what do i have to do to get invited to a prechan?
i think you should put some info on what is R5 or TS video
stupid question, never mind, I found it
#5 You got to see the truth as a whole by yourself, also called Illumination
kuken (#5), go here.
great work guys,i love relaeselog.keep it going
Great FAQ! I had fun reading it… and btw, I haven’t clicked the pre-channel Question/Link!:P
thanks for the prechan invite… now i’ve got access to a huge predb hehe
Nicely done and i was shocked to see the pre channels question and i thought what the fuck are u guys serious and just when i saw the page i knew
Nice job done on that page as well
Anyways i read an article on prints somewhere a year back when i was noobie and thought u guys can do that as a simple 10 liner answer regarding what is a cam/ts/dvdscr,r5,dvdrip and xvid divx and all
Chjeers keep up the good work
Lol love it guys, especially:
“Q: Can you invite me to one of your pre channels?
A. Yea sure, click here for the info.”
You guys R teh bomb, but hea, you dont need me to remind ya guys right
This question baffled me:
Q: Why are there so many advertisements on rlslog?
I haven’t seen an advert on rlslog or newtorrents since christmas, which I’d imagine is the experience of all visitors with a functioning adblocker.
So is the site actually awash with popups & adverts?
ya i have no ads either thanks to my nicely tweaked host file from http://www.unixhub.com/block.html i rarely see ads now. which is great.
i think a public irc chan would be worth a try, would have a very varied populace in many different ways.
ya thanks for the site, great!
Jesus. Could you kids that run this site be any more emo or infantile?
omg, i cant belive i fell for that pre channel thing… ugh… wtvr
#17 your a effin homo. your mad cause they got you, 1000 miles away, and you didnt see it comming.
good job on rls site, might need work on real questions.
most are really common sense.
I nver notice the addverts on this sight… mmhhhh
so ppl remember that rslog need revenue from ads to be able to run this site so if you’re gonna block them don’t do it on a too low level such that requests for the ads are still sent and revenue created
nice additions to the faq would be

http://www.rlslog.net/movie-sources/
Hi guys,
this site has taken over No 1 in my bookmarks. Fast updates, straight-to-the-point comments, great filtering of various crap that gets released. The movie format section has been illuminating. Keep up with the good work..!!
any news/gossip/rumors on a new release of a Transformers rip?
bioshock bioshock xbox rip out but no pc version, ooh an great faq an yes i clicked the invite hahahhahahaha good 1
I still can’t find a definition of “R5″…
It isn’t mentioned in the vcdquality.com faq.
My bad, I see it now in Martin’s link
http://www.rlslog.net/movie-sources/
R5
This is fairly new movie format. Basically the same as DVD Screener - this kind of release is legal DVD released in Russia to decrease the level of pirated movies in this country. Retail is rushed out by the studio, so there is little to no cleanup of the film after the telecine process. As a result, you can see some scratches, hairs or other mess on the picture, but you will hardly notice it while watching. External English audio is often used, as these are supplied with Russian sound by default.
Hey guys. I mostly just follow your movie feed and I really love it. I do have one suggestion (if you already do it, disregard) - please provide coverage for ALL releases, even if limited and crappy. Your posts with 4 releases are much appreciated. It’s all about coverage, I as a reader want to know I’m getting all info. And here’s another suggestion, maybe a post with all weeks releases(+link to those posts) at the end of the week? Maybe I’m asking for too much
Keep it up!
Ppl - please change this long list with releases and create a home page with summary splits between dvds/news/games etc, so at least users can zoom-in on their favorites. Bit like a large number of hw sites would do it.
Hello not sure if this is the right place for this comment but ive noticed just latley not just on this site but alot of sites movies are takin ages to come out like rush hour 3 for exsample was just wondering if there was a problem somewhere
Thanks
I dont know if you care but in the answer to this Q:
“Q: Why do you guys always link to torrents on NewTorrents.info?”
You say newtorrent.info, its not a big deal but it is newtorrents.info (with a S on the end) like you say in the Q, right? I´am not a besserweiser I just say this for you guys.
Thanks for a fantastic site!
Can something be done about the redirecting ads? The button to “Skip This Ad” is gone and this makes exploring your website impossible.
how can i play this DVDSCR XVid.avi format
this is a great site. would like to help though.
I like this site, and thanks for all the hard work.
I WAS wondering if the people who made the majority of the posts were ESL or not. I know you’ve said it doesn’t matter to you folks, but jebus, is it EVER distracting to read a post that looks and reads like it was slapped together by someone with a mild case of downs syndrome. It makes me cringe every time i have to stumble over some mangled english. Any thoughts about having someone edit those posts after they’re made, to clean them up?
I know you don’t care, but it does affect credibility.
Why do half the comments I post never appear?
Rekrul: you are probably using rude words which are on the banlist…
Nice site here guys but you should REALLY do something about the offtopic posts in the comments, I for one (and i`m sure i`m not alone) am sick to the back teeth of reading posts about when Transformers is gonna be released in every topic.
..and it`s not just Transformers, there seems to be a post reagrding a different Movie/show in every single topic i`ve read for the past six months.
…oh and there should be a permaban for folk that post “first” and nothing else in the comments like its some sort of badge of honour.
..other than that keep up the good work
excellent site for info. ads ok,gotta make buck-euro whatever.i
have learned alot here keep up good works.overlook crybabies
and social buttholes.
forgot- correct english? iam sure there are a lot of other
nationalities here, as long as i decipher its ok. proper eng?
i cant be too academic myself.free speech!!!!!!!!!!!!!not ignorance
Keep up the goodwork guys …
About time you guys added a little page icon that I can see when I have multiple Tabs open in my web-browser.
I hate blank tabs and yours was blank until a few hours ago.
Thanks!
How come the search engine doesn’t work on this site? I saw a movie the other day and thought kewl I’ll grab it later when I have more time, I came on and typed the title in the search engine but it doesn’t find the movie :o(
I’ve tried and tried but no good …. what’s up with that? Is the search engine broke?
imrtal
Australia ;O)
looking for Game Copy Pro V 2.73
There’s adult sites in the banner ads again, I thought you got rid of them?
can someone post a direct download link for this movie that is not a torrent?
TEST
Found this site not too long ago and fell in love with it right away!
One thing though:
Had a problem when I wanted to use the “less than” symbol (above the comma) - it would only display the text until then. :s Maybe this is fixable or, if not, I’d add it as info somewhere which symbols are not allowed.
Saw the question regarding NTi.info, “make up the bulk the of the staff on rlslog.”, that don’t sound right, maybe it would do with one ‘the’ less, lol.
What can of player do you need to play films that end with TS.XViD. VLC dosent work. Ill would be greatful for your help!
please could you tell me why ya left the the Torrent for The Seeker: Dark is Rising off ya listing it was supposed to be released 22 november on R5 release but no sign of it as of yet, RLSLOG is the best site ever and it has always had great movies, this is the place to be, could you let me know on this matter, Cheers guys
i dont know the proper channel to go through but the reason for my post is to let you guys know about firefox has yet another update as of dec. 1st 9:25 newfoundland time.
Thanks for your great site, I love checking it out once or twice a day.
Keep up the good work ! My only complaint is there’s often bickering and arguments in the ‘comments’ sections, but that’s only minor. Cheers from Montreal, Canada.
I knew this site from way back, maybe a year ago … but I wasn’t visiting it then, I stumbled on it recently in my old bookmarks and checked it out. wow, great material here and all the information, the links, is very valuable. I’m not even sure what ‘THE SCENE’ is exactly … but I definitely LOVE IT.

Your site is Outstanding.
It is one of the first sites I hit when I fire up the web. Your reviews of the available d/l’s is generally right on. I usually look over you pages to see what has become available and worth getting, keep up the good work!

What do the various acronyms stand for??? TS, Proper(?), XVid. I do a lot of this but always wondered what the initials (acronyms) after either the name of the product or the groups actually stood for.
Love the picture, I looked at the .jpg and I was expecting Goatsee but that was truly original! BTW Great FAQ wish more sites talked like this but one question is, how the hell are you still in the scene? Figured someone woulda found you guys out by now… You know how scene hates people and cameras and lolipops.
Try http://www.dcforge.com for some nice clients

I understand the various reasons for scenes being “Nuked”, but who does the nuking and how. What effect does it have on the nuked item. How would I know it was nuked when doing a torrent search.
