TOP 20 GROUPS WITH MOST RELEASES
The sections in here are combined for a better overview, same as above.
I’m new to the concept of nukes, but generally I understood it as a wide concept from the linked wiki. I guess what I wanted to know if it would be possible to see more about why a user has flagged the certain torrent (e.g. the user has submitted some kind of report that malware was discovered when scanning the downloaded files). Maybe I’m overthinking this – I nearly always am – but I figured there may be situations where it could be interesting to know, similar to seeing an angry one star review on Amazon and instantly realizing the problem lies with the reviewer when you read the review.
In database form I think it would be most attractive if nukes could be categorized or if there was a possibility for a link to any user generated report on the torrent (but then again I have no idea about which source data you have available on any of this and to what extent I’m just fully misunderstanding “nukes”)
But there is something important to understand: we’re not talking about torrents here. Torrenting is one of the unsafest ways to actually pirate stuff but for most people it’s the easiest.
The Scene has rules on how to release things. If one of these rules are broken, the release will get nuked and the group can release a fix/proper release. Just take a look at some of the reasons on the link I provided :)
The circle jerk stuff get’s embedded automatically because of the wiki articles (I can’t see that on the web version). Read them and you’ll understand more.
The scene is not interested in torrenting. Torrent is just the most insecure way to leech whatever you want. Maybe “Normal people” should find alternatives.
Release groups are the first to release anything. Whatever you leech out there was firstly release by a release group.

⚓ Dedicated to the discussion of digital piracy, including ethical problems and legal advancements.
Didn’t know about this resource before. Good stuff.
Two questions:
Is it possible to get more information about nukings?
What percentage of the scene releases included in your stats above are actively seeded/healthy?
I only have informations about the releases as they are pred, no tracker stuff.
What information about the nukes are you thinking of? Specify it a little bit more and I’ll check if I can make it happen :)

Yes, the nukes actually have reasons, here’s one overview: https://predb.net/status/nuked/

These are nice, thanks!
You’re very welcome :)
How neat! Thanks for putting these together for us :)
I love to share those :)
The “What does nuked mean?” link is broken.
Works for me. It links to the Wikipedia article for Nuke (warez).
For me it takes me to
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuke_(warez
It’s missing the final “)”
What frontend are you using? It sounds like a markdown parsing bug. I’m using Photon on desktop for reference
Sync for Lemmy
happens for me as well on sync
works fine on Jerboa
Works fine on Boost.
I tried Sync for a couple hours before I uninstalled.
Why don’t so called “release groups” create torrents like normal people what is this warez scene hierarchy circlejerk about??
cared to read the mentioned Wikipedia articles?
Release groups hate torrents because they can be traced by that.
no release group ever heard of something like a VPN or I2P?
You do know that the scene predates I2P by a long long time,right?
yes and?
So how exactly were they supposed to use i2p?
do we live in current year or not?
Good luck migrating the entire infrastructure on a technology that has just started to provide faster than broadband era speeds.
damn downvoted for real information
Yeah… Don’t really understand but whatever ^^ I just tried to answer the question :D
