New poll, RLSLOG Forums picks
Oh this was a busy weekend for RLSLOG! We successfully launched the official RLSLOG Forums and immediatelly created a great place for our little community. There were thousands of registered users and more than 5000 posts in first 24 hours! We also moved the Forums from a slightly slower server to much more powerful machine tonight, which should result in better loading speed for all of you. Props to Malice who helped us with the hosting!
There’ve already been many interesting threads and dicsussions on the new Forums so I picked up few of them to get you interested. I also plan to add something as “last 5 threads” in the right menu here at Releaselog, so there will be a good connection between both sites.
RLSLOG Forums picks:
- Where is the music section on NTi?
- I Need Help With Adding Subtitles to My Movies
- Burning music cd’s from mp3’s
- gambling problem
- English Premier League Thread
- Greatest Horror Movie Of All Time
- Best burning software?
It’s also a time to change the poll question – the current one was running for 2 weeks already and that’s long enough. We collected over 20 000 unique votes again, similarily to previous polls. The question was “How huge are your drives in total” and it looks the price cuts on hard drives allows many of you to build massive 1TB+ storage. This option was most popular with cca 25% votes, followed by 500 GB – 1 TB option. Ten percent of responders are still fine with a tiny 80 gig or smaller drive.
We have prepared a new question for you, which will run for another two weeks and show us which methods of downloading are most popular nowadays. Don’t forget to add your vote!

Rapidshare ftw
Torrents is winning, don’t see how people even use those still, so slow.
For the new poll, u should have pay http ie. rs ms etc and free http dl sites ie yastorage, flyup etc.
just a suggestion
The.Water.Horse.DVDRip.XviD-F.I
just being released in private torrents ill get this kool.
@ 1
Torrents are only slow if you’re on a crappy tracker (public), or don’t have your client set up properly (or both).
I have access to a premium usenet server, but I don’t use it much. It’s a pain compared to torrents.
I was the second to vote in the new poll.
Anyway, nice to see that RLSLOG finally has a forum.
IRC if i want something really soon after release, unless i find a nice adrive or eatlime type of link here first
torrents are fine for things that have been out for awhile
don’t have a rs or usenet account, but i understand why people love them
*yaay*
rapidshare ftw,
@1, you dont know what you talk about.
I get my torrents from private trackers with 1700kb/sec and they are always there faster than on rapishare.
we hope to find a way to brack rapidshare
Man i love the forum so much.
Im r5 status atm
I think the previous pool was flawed in a way that there should of been something bigger then 1TB+. Like you say prices go down and i wanted to see if other people were in the +10TB like me.
Of course yes but how many though. Also i’m quite surprised at how many people still have less then 80GB.

I think each method of downloading (torrents/file servers) each have there pros and cons. I find torrents are fine for popular files but really aren’t that brilliant for new releases or releases that have been out for months. But of course they are free and there is non of the “file deleted – forbidden to be shares” nosense!
But I can always relie on RS to download at my full speed as speed it not bassed on amount of seeders and leachers.
Again, both systems have its merits.
yous need some criticism
um no i do like the pics and text
i dislike the way you do umm
can i borrow twenty dollars?
definately rs or similar.
i never get more than 100 kb/s ona any torrent during the last 5 years =(
best times were with emule long ago .. there i had around 500-800 kb/s depending on source
We need Demonoid to get back.
Didn’t TPB invite them over at their hosting?
I was surprised that so much people have 1TB+ (even though I do too). I’m voted Usenet, maxes out 20mbit (fastest i can get).
The.Water.Horse.DVDR.NTSC-F.I, awesome quality for P2P release.
Unique? Every time i come back to the page it allows me to vote again if i wanted. Thats not doing any funny business with my ip, and a semi static ip. Ie even when my ip remains the same i can vote again and again.
I’ve been on the same ip for 74hrs and have already had the opportunity to vote multiple times.
1. FTP
2. Usenet
3. Torrents
LOL @ MNT
i guess u didn’t realize the number doesnt change every time u vote
Usenet + sabnzbd+ of course (sabnzbd.org).
Download speeds of 2200kB/s are much better than torrents.
The forum is still going kinda slow here
I think you’re too focused on your forums and your website cr_p stuff. You better post releases than useless ego informations.
“Ten percent of responders are still fine with a tiny 80 gig or smaller drive.”
It’s only 5 percent.
@Nestea, well as its hard to account for 1000+ people voting today then its very likely that between refreshes it does change! Also why have the option to vote again? Obviously some sites use cookies/logins/ip’s etc to control who’s voted and who hasnt.
@Admin, wasnt having a go just reporting what i thought was a small bug, which could have skewed the numbers. You guys do a great job here.
This was of course a point of view. You still may pollute the website with stupid news (as it’s your website), we’re just skipping ‘em.
forum is very nice & handy, hopefully less spam on the forum than in the comments…
although you may upgrade your server once again cause the machine cannot handle the traffic on the forum atm.
regards & thnx for the great efforts martin & co.
“Ten percent of responders are still fine with a tiny 80 gig or smaller drive”
~1000 out of ~20000 is 5%
@36
Already mentionned by #32.
@35
I guess you can’t handle properly such traffic. Except if you have some money to waste for Gbs ethernets.
your forum is slow as hell
Anyone checked out malice yet?
Holly cow man that chick rocks bubbas world
Definately 1-click webhosting. My ISP uses traffic shaping which limits torrent traffic to as low as 10kb/sec between 1PM and about midnight.
RS gives me max bandwidth all day long.
Oh and I’m one of those responders with just a single 36GB Raptor. Down with Western Digital, 3 failed drives in 2 years.
of course you can handle such amount of traffic, you don’t even need gigahertz ethernets btw
the problem with a popular forum are the MYSQL requests on the database, the isp of this forum need to upgrade their server with more RAM (8 or 16 prefered), make sure he has enough cpu power and splitt up the content & the database of his forum
then it will be all fine ^^
but now it’s slow as hell n/o
A big thank you to Malice for the help with hosting…
@39 No-Neck
Probably bad luck. I myself have 12×500GB and 5×1TB all western digital and none have even come close to failing. I will never buy anything else.
rofl man i had a random dream of a new poll lmao!!
i like torrent because i can actually schedule my downloads since i have off peak bandwidth and peak (off peak is more)
and of course i always get my max speed of my private tracker 53.0 K/S.
and no one tease my 80GB hard drive !!!
@40
Well you’re probably right. There are forums with 100x more users and they manage to be fast and pleasant. I’m not sure about the fact that this is a ‘memory lack’ but let’s say that bandwidth is somehow affecting speed (even if these are Mysql queries…)
@42
Totally agree, I’m 100% (until now) satisfied with WD drives.
bwah…forum’s down
baah..forum is 404′ing on me :S
Ohh Yeah Baby!
