That means your torrent client will automatically broadcast your request to the tracker every 30-45 mins on average, and the tracker will forward it to other peers. You're clueless, there is no such thing as a anonymous tracker, a tracker (it's in the word itself) works by tracking hashes/torrents & coordinating peers. A FTP like any other server can obviously be very secure, or very insecure. Sigh, even your link explains Secure FTP protocols. Like i said, they use FTP/FXP which is NOT P2P, Torrents/Emule/DC++/Gnutella/KAD is P2P I do sometimes miss the glory-days of the early 2000s of the scene, which was fast, but not 'stupid fast' (everything's scripted now) but it's not frustratingly slow as it was in the 90s (I have no clue before the mid90s, as that's when I first got involved)ĭude, you have every resource available right in front of you, so why do you insist on being ignorant ?
You probably don't remember all the arguments about the x264 standards, and you almost certainly never saw the brouhaha when xvid was introduced to upset the VCD applecart (or the fierce devotion of the SVCD weirdos). I did get the chance (about 10 years ago) to sit in on someone racing scene releases on a 2nd tier site, watching as he FXP'd around multiple sites to fill some REQs.Īnd remember, the scene has a lot fo harsh rules that often don't make sense, and have a lot of pushback on when they get changed. It's good you're thinking about things, but you're not thinking hard enough about them. Some do take precautions (like VPNs), but they're agreed in advance. It's like drug dealing - at first you're hiding your identity, so you can't be identified, but at the top of the chain, all the big people know each other, and its in the mutual knowledge of each other that the protection lies, because you know the people, so impostors are spotted. As much as they pose, they have as much relationship to the Scene as you do.Īnd yes FTP is somewhat insecure, but at the same time, it's how it is secure. They don't nuke bad downloads, you won't see them in most preDBs, and they don't care about dupes. they're groups that emulate the scene to give themselves the appearance of legitimacy.
