I think the people who should respect are the “scene” players, who upload to P2P. They are the real people who give to the community.

Not the groups, who I like of course, or we would have nothing at all.

Why ? Well these groups would have loads of great things,and nobody to share with (they all seem to hate each other for a start) but its all ego, and they want the thanks, but make up some sh1t about hating P2P. If it was not for P2P or Newsgroups. Nobody would be any wiser.

So they need us, as much as we need them.

@43:anonymous

i thought the main reason for p2p was to get things for free… maybe i was wrong… then again, i’m not, independently of the reason behind it, the scene exists because there are people who want to download something and use it/play it/whatever for free, just because there are a restrict group of people that knows how to make those cracks/workarounds/whatever does give them a reason to think they should get payed for it with money/whatever… i guess the only thing they actually deserve is respect… but to get respect you should respect first…

sure it takes time/contribution/whatever but if they want to work for themselves let them, there will always be good people doing the same thing for the public for free…

Forty-five is ‘elderly’?

Wow.

If there were any doubt this site was being run by children, that would kill it dead.

half the people who put scene ftp are probably fanboywannabes, don’t actually know the difference between the 2 ftp options or are just plain liars.

@45

Thats all very well, but a lot of “scene” players, are no more than dumping grounds. But If it gives you a buzz to look down on us with no 1000 mbit lines, then good luck to you.

@42: Scene ppl are not elitist because we think we’re better than other. Its just that p2p/torrent people think they can get everything for free. Scene people know that it takes contribution, support and time to get stuff. Why should we let people freeload on our work, i know that its stealing and we get it free aswell, but who says you should get our time and skill for free?

I still get most from DC(++), as my ISP is utilizing an intranet/dmz with traffic limits on external traffic, but not on internal. Therefore using DC to set up internal hubs, only accepting IP series from within the so called ‘dmz’ makes it possible for me to keep a monthly dowload/upload at ~500GB(+) instead of just 24GB.

Guys

How old are you?

* Child
* Teenager
* Young Adult
* Adult
* In Midlife Crisis!?
* Senior

Bad bad bad bad – you can NEVER put it that way, you have to put it in age groups, else you end up with a useless chart. What i mean is: We all have an oppenion about what age an adult is, etc.. So you need age-groups on it. Else you can’t conclude on it.

@21 fayek,

A scene FTP site is a site run by or used by people in “the scene”. A non-scene FTP site is one that isn’t. “The scene” is what us non-scene people (also known as “lamers”) call the collection of pirates, crackers and others who create all these releases that this site writes about. In my experience, most scene members are fairly elitist and often arrogant. They usually consider anyone who isn’t in the scene to be beneath them. It’s kind of like that old saying about money; “If you have to ask…”

@37 tucker,

Usenet, also called newsgroups, is one of the oldest parts of the net. It was originally designed to carry only text messages, but people now use it for posting files as well.

Pros:
Fast
Virtually 100% anonymous for downloading
Huge selection

Cons:
May not be free
Slightly more work than P2P/RS
