I am used to downloading films from rapidshare using one of its SEs http://rapidqueen.com/ . It is true that sometimes the films’ quality leaves much to be desired, but nothing doing – these are disadvantages of free web services…

There should be option to check the movie quality before download, other after downloading those 1GB+ movies we will be unable to enjoy the quality.

The scene had next to no security 5 years ago, these days following busts you’d think it’d be sorted out. But no, the amount of clueless kids with axx is ridiculous, and if you think anyone has ever been busted over information provided on iSONEWS, VCDQ, NFOrce etc then you’re insanely naive. You think sites providing release data are the reason every torrent tracker on the net has films just past, 0sec then you’re retarded.

Lets keep it low on the flaming bro.
Perspectives differ. We can try to argument our positions, but opinions are never ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.

I get what you’re meaning and I agree with you to some degree.

I admire the people in the scene who risk with no aim for personal gain and frown at all those freeleechers. For this reason, the private tracker system should indeed be applied more broadly.

However, I don’t think we should make a taboe out of p2p.

lont, stop being over dramatic. vcdq is not going to get these guys in grps caught. Its not like it leads the mpaa to the top site where these groups affil. So take a chill pill bro, we all know your prolly the first person to check vcdq for new releases. So stfu bro. Your prolly just some stupid racer kid who thinks he’s cool cause your on a 1-2 hour pre site.

I want to destroy its essence. People in the scene risk a lot by participating and only gain more exposure by sites like this. The average Joe shouldn’t be able to download a pirated film with a few clicks, it’s ridiculous. Don’t confuse my stance with elitism, you want access? Contribute. You have nothing to contribute or don’t want to? No loss.

If you are downloading winrar compatible archive file types you can extract a sample from the first couple of files:

Just right click on the first file and select “extract files…”, make sure you check “keep broken files” in the dialog box. (If click “save settings” you dont ever have to select this again and you can use “extract here” next time.)

Winrar will extract the file and tell you “next volume is required”, just hit “cancel”, then “close” the diagnostics messages window.

Open the file with vlc (vlc may ask if you want to fix the file, just say no).

P2P stands on the foundation of a community; it’s ‘for the people, by the people’. If you rid it from what you call ‘more publicity’, and make it ‘private, you’re in fact destroy its very essence.

VCDQuality and sites like it need to be obliterated off the face of the internet. The scene is already insecure as it is, and the last thing it needs is more publicity. When you’ve got a blog describing scene rules and it’s one of the more popular stories on Digg, you know you’ve got a problem. Go back to p2p and leave the scene what it should be: private.

Of course not all downloads come with samples or .jpgs, and even if they do, some are not the same as the quality as the video.

The NFO is usually included but even the info contained in this can be false.

Nevertheless, this guide is very useful for those who didn’t know….

I would also advise reading the torrent comments and downloading rips from trusted uploaders….

Great article, keep up the good work…

The best thing about IMDB (in my opinion) are the pretty harsh ratings. I find them a lot more objective compared to other websites.

Thanks for the rectification uuzi. I must point out that most releases on VCD Quality contain a JPG file, though.
