Private Trackers encourage their members to seed torrents for as long as possible, thus increasing the chances of a torrent having a healthy swarm for longer. Not only that, but many members use seedboxes, which are just servers based in datacenters, offering very high speeds and excellent peering. Enough to max out anyone's home connection. 25 | 26 | **Retention**: Similarly, Private Trackers usually enforce rules that encourage long-term seeding. A few peers will still seed many torrents for obscure content that you wouldn't normally find any peers for on many public trackers. 27 | 28 | **Selection**: Some content simply isn't available on any public site and will only be found on Private Trackers. Some trackers specialise in obscure or rare content, ensuring that it doesn't get lost from the Internet. 29 | 30 | **Quality control**: A major asset of Private Trackers, albeit one that can vary a lot across trackers. Good Private Trackers have stringent rules on the content format, quality, and organisation. 31 | 32 | ### What are the best Private Trackers? 33 | 34 | There are two kinds of trackers, content-wise: **specialised** and **general**. General trackers will often serve the majority of your needs, bigger general trackers will usually have plenty of niche content. Many popular public trackers are general trackers, RARBG, rutracker and 1337x for example. Due to their broad scope they will still never match the niche trackers in their particular area of specialty.

57 | Guide for acessing ExHentai (click this text) 58 |

59 |

Step 0: VPN

60 |
Depending on your region (especially Asia), you may not be able to access Exhentai no matter how many accounts you make. The only region that guarantees success is North America. Any VPN services will work in theory; however, you should try to use a paid VPN service for this, free VPNs may not work.
61 |

Step 1: Clear your cookies:

62 |
There are many methods for this including dozens of Chrome and Firefox extensions, some browsers even have a built-in cookie editor. Just make sure to clear cookies on both E-Hentai and ExHentai (Should show a blank page).
63 |

Step 2: Create a new E-Hentai account

64 |
If you have an old account that can't access ExHentai, you should also create a new one here.
65 |

Step 3: Wait 7-10 days

66 |
Waiting sucks, but be patient, after this you'll have access to sadpanda for life.
67 |

Step 4: Enjoy

68 |
In case ExHentai still shows a blank page, repeat Step 1.

Anything orange is required but depends on your drive. Anything unmarked is optional. 10 | 11 | This is meant to be a no-frills guide with little extra info. 12 | 13 | #### Step 1: Download and install EAC 14 | 15 | 16 | Download the installer and fire it up. 17 | 18 | ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/1.png) 19 | 20 | Eventually you'll get to a screen like this. Make sure you install AccurateRip, CDRDAO, CTDB, and freedb as a bare minimum. FLAC will be useful as well if you don't have it separately installed. GD3 is only useful if you want to pay for metadata results. I assume you don't. 21 | 22 | #### Step 2: Start EAC 23 | ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/2.png) 24 | 25 | When you first start EAC, you'll see a screen like this one. Hit "Cancel". Next, put a popular CD into your drive, preferably not one that was recently released (a few months old at least). You'll see a window like the one below appear. If you have an older version of EAC or dBpoweramp installed, it's likely AccurateRip was already configured, and this may not appear. 26 | 27 | ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/3.png) 28 | 29 | Hit Configure. It may take a few minutes. Hit "Ok" afterward. Once again, if you have an older version of EAC or dBpoweramp installed, it's likely AccurateRip was already configured, and this may not appear. 30 | 31 | #### Step 3: EAC Options 32 | 33 | All of the options dialogs can be found from the EAC menu at the top of the screen. 34 | 35 | ![https://i.imgur.com/k8DAbdV.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/4.png) 36 | 37 | Start with EAC Options. Any tabs not pictured are completely optional settings, or are irrelevant to ripping. 38 | 39 | ![https://i.imgur.com/SqQVeYk.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/5.png) 40 | 41 | Make sure you set the green highlighted settings as shown. If you're using an older version of EAC, make sure "No use of null samples for CRC calculations is UNCHECKED. The rest is optional, choose as you will. Locking the drive tray during extraction isn't a bad idea though. 42 | 43 | ![https://i.imgur.com/T8PABG6.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/6.png) 44 | 45 | These settings are pretty much all optional and self explanatory. I'd recommend using Alternate CD play routines and disabling autostart though. 46 | 47 | The "Create log files always in english language" is very important for our international users. This will let you keep EAC's language as your native one, but write the log file in English 48 | 49 | ![https://i.imgur.com/T9zXp3U.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/7.png) 50 | 51 | If your drive is capable of reading UPC/ISRC codes and CD-Text (you can only really figure this out by trial and error), you're welcome to keep the top two options checked. Otherwise, uncheck them. 52 | 53 | Other than that, these settings are pretty much ideal. I wouldn't recommend using more than 1 compressor thread even if you have a multicore computer. It doesn't take very long compared to the track extraction anyway. Note that in tests run by punkmeup, disabling the queue of external compressors in the background fixed an issue where EAC was generating WAV files instead of FLAC, so I've made that a required option. It should have no bearing on the rip quality. If rip queueing works for you (it does for me), feel free to leave it enabled. 54 | 55 | ![https://i.imgur.com/RVPFE9J.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/8.png) 56 | 57 | Friends don't let friends normalize their EAC rips. Don't ever do it. 58 | 59 | ![https://i.imgur.com/A64Bgne.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/9.png) 60 | 61 | This is the proper way to name tracks. The only difference acceptable here would be perhaps %tracknr2%. %title% if you prefer periods instead of dashes in the filenames. If you need track numbers to go into triple digits for some reason, use %tracknr3% instead. 62 | 63 | Naming Convention : `%tracknr2% - %title%` 64 | 65 | Check 'Use Various Artists Naming Scheme' and use : %tracknr2% - %artist% - %title% 66 | Don't replace spaces by underscores. It looks ridiculous. 67 | 68 | 69 | #### Step 4: Drive Options 70 | 71 | 72 | ![https://i.imgur.com/5BGuq4w.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/10.png) 73 | 74 | Start by hitting "Detect Read Features...". This will actually take a few minutes. The only feature detection that actually matters is Accurate Stream. If your drive can use it, checkmark the setting (most modern drives have Accurate Stream). If it can't, don't. 75 | 76 | Even if your drive doesn't cache audio, just do us a favour and leave that checked. Not only will it stop you from having to have each of your uploads rescored by hand, but it doesn't affect the audio quality at all. Yes, the rips take a bit longer with that setting enabled. Go watch TV or something while you wait. 77 | 78 | Do not use C2, even if EAC thinks you can. Most drives have terrible C2 error implementation. 79 | 80 | ![https://i.imgur.com/ZAwJdyK.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/11.png) 81 | 82 | Hit "Autodetect read command now". It shouldn't take long. Leave everything else unchecked unless you're having problems. You can checkmark "CD-Text Read capable drive" if you want to test whether your drive can do it. If it can, great, otherwise, uncheck it. It's unlikely you'll ever use that feature anyway. 83 | 84 | ![https://i.imgur.com/Iq9Oc11.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/12.png) 85 | 86 | If you did the AccurateRip configuration at the start of this guide, the top half here will be greyed out. If not, you'll need to find your read offset correction from this list. Don't use a combined read/write offset. 87 | 88 | If you want to figure out whether your drive needs "Overread into Lead-in and Lead-Out" checked, you can check by temporarily unchecking "Use AccurateRip with this drive". Stick a CD in the drive and hit "Detect read sample offset correction...". If you're just doing this for the Overread, see below: 89 | 90 | Originally Posted by blowfish.be 91 | Check "Overread Lead-In and Lead-Out" only if the test result says that your drive can overread from both the Lead-In and Lead-Out, or if it says Lead-Out and your offset correction is positive ,or if it says Lead-In and your offset correction is negative. Otherwise disable (uncheck) it. 92 | Remember to check "Use AccurateRip with this drive" again once you're finished. AccurateRip is always a good idea. 93 | 94 | ![https://i.imgur.com/ahrVeIO.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/13.png) 95 | 96 | Pretty much every drive should work with the settings shown. If yours stalls on detecting gaps or detects gaps that are obviously wrong (like 30 second gaps on a non-live album), try Detection method B or C. If A, B, and C all fail, you can switch "Secure" to "Accurate" and try again. 97 | 98 | 99 | #### Step 5: Metadata Options 100 | 101 | 102 | ![https://i.imgur.com/jtpaKbL.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/14.png) 103 | 104 | Here's where you pick your metadata provider. If you did install GD3, it'll be in the list. You can only rip 10 discs before you have to pay for a subscription though. Otherwise, you have a choice between the MusicBrainz plugin (CTDB), freedb plugin and EAC's native freedb support. I'm not really sure what the big difference is, I'm guessing it's the cover+lyrics. Anyway, change those settings above if you wish. 105 | 106 | ![https://i.imgur.com/cL3fxyt.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/15.png) 107 | 108 | If you use EAC's native freedb instead, the settings should look like this. Make sure you put an email at the top, it doesn't need to be real. Hit "Get active freedb server list". Then checkmark the last option. 109 | 110 | 111 | #### Step 6: Compression Options 112 | 113 | 114 | ![https://i.imgur.com/GOWfbPH.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/16.png) 115 | 116 | Set up this tab exactly as shown. You'll have to browse to the path where you have flac.exe, if you installed it with EAC it's in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Exact Audio Copy\FLAC\flac.exe`. If you installed it separately it's wherever you installed it. The bitrate and high/low quality have no effect on the rip. 117 | 118 | The commandline parameters have changed in this version, so this will look new to most of you. The commandline recommended for optimal completeness is this: 119 | 120 | ``` 121 | -8 -e -p -V -T "ARTIST=%artist%" -T "TITLE=%title%" -T "ALBUM=%albumtitle%" -T "DATE=%year%" -T "TRACKNUMBER=%tracknr%" -T "GENRE=%genre%" -T "PERFORMER=%albuminterpret%" -T "COMPOSER=%composer%" %haslyrics%--tag-from-file=LYRICS="%lyricsfile%"%haslyrics% -T "ALBUMARTIST=%albumartist%" -T "DISCNUMBER=%cdnumber%" -T "TOTALDISCS=%totalcds%" -T "TOTALTRACKS=%numtracks%" -T "COMMENT=%comment%" %source% -o %dest% 122 | ``` 123 | 124 | It takes no extra effort on your part, just copy and paste that into the additional commandline options and you're done. 125 | 126 | Note: the %comment% function is broken in version 1.0b2 (it returns the track CRC). Use something like `-T "COMMENT=EAC V1.0 beta 2, Secure Mode, Test & Copy, AccurateRip, FLAC -8"` instead. 127 | 128 | Also, as of Beta 3 you may use the %tracknr1% variable instead of %tracknr% if you would like to have no leading zeroes in the track number field (like XLD does). tracknr1 will use, for example, '1' instead of '01'. 129 | 130 | A note on ripping to lossy formats like MP3: So first off, this is a complete waste of time. In most cases, EAC is overkill for lossy files, and takes far too long to rip the CD to be practical. Your best bet is to rip once to FLAC and then use a program like dBpoweramp to convert that rip to the other formats. Even if you don't need a FLAC it'll still be much faster to rip using any other program, and won't produce an audibly different result unless your CD has skips and bad scratches. 131 | 132 | However, the MP3 and Ogg command lines are included below. You'll need to browse to LAME.exe or oggenc2.exe, and set the extension to .mp3 or .ogg, respectively. The other settings remain the same, bitrate is still irrelevant. 133 | 134 | V0 MP3: 135 | ```bash 136 | -V 0 --vbr-new --add-id3v2 --ignore-tag-errors --ta "%artist%" --tt "%title%" --tg "%genre%" --tl "%albumtitle%" --ty "%year%" --tn "%tracknr%" %source% -o %dest% 137 | ``` 138 | 139 | V2 MP3: 140 | ```bash 141 | -V 2 --vbr-new --add-id3v2 --ignore-tag-errors --ta "%artist%" --tt "%title%" --tg "%genre%" --tl "%albumtitle%" --ty "%year%" --tn "%tracknr%" %source% -o %dest% 142 | ``` 143 | 144 | 320 kbps MP3: 145 | ```bash 146 | -b 320 -h --add-id3v2 --ignore-tag-errors --ta "%artist%" --tt "%title%" --tg "%genre%" --tl "%albumtitle%" --ty "%year%" --tn "%tracknr%" %source% -o %dest% 147 | ``` 148 | 149 | q8 Ogg: 150 | ``` 151 | -q 8 -a "%artist%" -t "%title%" -l "%albumtitle%" -d "%year%" -N "%tracknr%" -G "%genre%" %source% -o %dest% 152 | ``` 153 | 154 | ![https://i.imgur.com/4KJfgSf.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/17.png) 155 | 156 | Leave everything unchecked except the last option. 157 | 158 | Congrats! EAC is now properly set up! You may wish to save your settings in a profile by hitting "New" at the bottom of the screen. However, unless you're changing your settings frequently there's no need, EAC will remember all of this on next launch regardless. 159 | 160 | 161 | **EAC Ripping Process** 162 | 163 | 164 | 165 | #### Step 7: Tagging 166 | 167 | 168 | ![https://i.imgur.com/SZc7Trg.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/18.png) 169 | 170 | So now let's look at the main window. Be sure everything is named correctly here, as these will be the tags on your ripped files. If you're ripping a classical CD, you may wish to fill in the Composer/Performer fields. 171 | 172 | Drag a cover image into the EAC window. I think ~500x500 is a decent size in most cases. Google images is your friend here. 173 | 174 | If you're ripping a box set, you may wish to use the options under the cover image, otherwise leave them all as "1". 175 | 176 | Finally, if you want to add lyrics to the tracks, use the "Lyrics" button. 177 | 178 | Note: I've also highlighted the "New" button where you can save your settings. This is not a necessary step each time you rip. 179 | 180 | 181 | #### Step 8: Gap Detection and Cuesheets 182 | 183 | 184 | ![https://i.imgur.com/CJL8XFi.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/19.png) 185 | 186 | The pre-rip stuff happens here. Make sure "Append Gaps to Previous Track (default)" is checked. It should be. Next, hit the options in the order shown. 187 | 188 | First, hit "Detect Gaps". This is very important, your rip will fail the logchecker if you do not complete this step. If the first track is highlighted in red, you have a hidden track. You'll want to look at this section of the blowfish.be guide. 189 | 190 | Next, go to Create CUE Sheet -> Multiple WAV Files With Gaps... (Noncompliant). This is usually where I create the folder for ripping as well. Do NOT rip your tracks to any directory containing your name. You should NEVER edit a log for any reason, especially now that we have checksums. A simple C:\EAC Rips is fine. 191 | 192 | I name my directories as follows: 193 | `Artist - Album (Year) [Format] {Extra}` 194 | 195 | So for example, with the album in the screenshots, it'd be 196 | 197 | Sam Roberts Band - Collider (2011) [FLAC] {UMC 0252764577} 198 | 199 | However, as long as it contains the album name and no nested folders (don't do \Artist\Album\), you're fine by the rules here. 200 | 201 | Anyway, make the folder, save the .cue file into it. I usually just name mine Noncompliant.cue, it doesn't really matter. 202 | 203 | 204 | #### Step 9: Ripping 205 | 206 | 207 | ![https://i.imgur.com/eVHpnsB.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rippedpiracy/docs/img/guide/20.png) 208 | 209 | Finally, the rip itself! Make sure all the tracks are checkmarked in the main window unless there are some you don't want to rip. 210 | 211 | Test & Copy -> Compressed. 212 | 213 | Depending on your drive and whether or not the CD is scratched, this could take anywhere from ten minutes to four hours. Be patient. 214 | 215 | 216 | 217 | #### Step 10: Post-Rip 218 | 219 | 220 | So you're done! You may wish to use a logchecker to check and make sure your rip is proper, but if you followed this guide, the only possible errors would be with the CD itself. It does happen... some CDs are too badly damaged, even for EAC. Your best bet is to clean the CD and try again. 221 | 222 | Note: if any of the tracks do not get ripped accurately (or if you get read errors / sync errors), you can try to clean/repair the disc and re-rip those failed tracks again. In this case, EAC will append the *existing* log file, so you do not have to re-do the entire album every time! 223 | 224 | Other than that, it never hurts to make sure your files are tagged and named properly (though they should be). Any extra stuff you want to include should be added now as well... Additional artwork, an md5 fingerprint, an info.txt file, that sort of thing. 225 | 226 | Credits to **caaok** for the original what.cd guides 227 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /Utilities/Misc.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | --- 2 | title: Miscellaneous 3 | description: Tools and Apps to make your life easier. 4 | --- 5 | 6 | # Browser Extensions 7 | 8 | We recommend coupling these Extensions & UserScripts with [**LibreWolf**](https://librewolf.net) or [**Ungoogled Chromium**](https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium). 9 | 10 | [**uBlock Origin (Firefox)**](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock) | [**Lite (Chromium)**](https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home) - An efficient Ad & Content Blocker for Chromium and Firefox, fast and lean. 11 | *uBO **Lite** does **not** support Custom Filter Lists.* 12 |         [Filter Stalker](https://rentry.co/FilterStalker) - A collection of Filter lists by **LukeThighStalker**. 13 |         [fuckfuckadblock](https://github.com/bogachenko/fuckfuckadblock) - Filters for blocking Pop-ups and Anti-AdBlocks. 14 |         [iplogger](https://github.com/piperun/iploggerfilter) - Filters any site who's only purpose is to log your IP. 15 |         [Anifiltrs](https://github.com/Karmesinrot/Anifiltrs) - A collection of Filter lists for Anime Streaming, Manga reading, and Downloading of other Japanese Media. 16 |         [Web Annoyances Ultralist](https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances) - Fix and remove annoying web elements such as sticky headers, floating boxes, etc. 17 | 18 | 19 | [**ClearURLs**](https://docs.clearurls.xyz/) - Remove Tracking elements from URLs. 20 | 21 | [**NoScript**](https://noscript.net/) - Allow/Disallow JavaScript, Flash, Java and other executable Content to only run on websites of your choice. 22 | ***Can be difficult to setup for the Average User.*** 23 | 24 | [**LocalCDN**](https://www.localcdn.org/) - Emulates Content Delivery Networks to improve online Privacy.

For example Microsoft Office, which contains Word, Frontpage, Publisher, Access etc. 45 | 46 | **ANSI art** 47 | 48 | Similar to ASCII art, but constructed from a larger set of 256 letters, numbers, and symbols. 49 | 50 | **ASCII art** 51 | 52 | ASCII art is an artistic medium that are graphics pieced together from the 95 printable characters defined by ASCII. 53 | 54 | **Backdoor** 55 | 56 | A hidden piece of software that allows it's creator to access the computer. It bypasses normal authentication to the computer system. Using the backdoor, the hacker can get remote access to the computer. The backdoor may take the form of an installed, legimate program. 57 | 58 | **Bitrate** 59 | 60 | Bitrate or Bit Rate is the average number of bits that one second of video or audio data will consume. Higher bitrate means bigger file size and generally better video or audio quality while lower bitrate means lower file size but worse video or audio quality. 61 | 62 | **BitTorrent** 63 | 64 | A special kind of Peer-to-Peer system. It uses a central location which coodinates the downloads but it doesn't host any downloads. The download itself consists of several pieces offered by various users. Such a coordinated group is called a torrent. 65 | 66 | **Blu-Ray** 67 | 68 | Blu-ray Disc is a next-generation optical disc format meant for high definition video (HD) and high density data storage, and is one of two competing standards for HD optical media. Its competitor is HD-DVD. A Blu-ray Disc can store substantially more data than a DVD, because of the blue laser. A Blu-ray dvd can hold up to 50 GB. 69 | 70 | **BNC** 71 | 72 | BNC stands for bouncer. A bouncer is a server through which a user can connect to an IRC server. This way other users on the IRC server can't see his/her real IP address. 73 | 74 | **Buffer Overflow** 75 | 76 | An error caused when a program or exploit tries to store too much data into a buffer, than the buffer can handle. This can be exploited by hackers to create and execute a backdoor, leading to system access. 77 | 78 | **CD** 79 | 80 | CD stands for CompactDisc. A CD is an one-sided disk which can hold up to 650-700Mb of data. 81 | 82 | **CDR** 83 | 84 | A recordable compact disc. 85 | 86 | **Chanserv** 87 | 88 | This is a service provided by many IRC Networks to allow you register a channel. 89 | 90 | **CLONECD / CLONEDVD** 91 | 92 | A complete image of an original cd/dvd. These images do not contain any crack, it's just a copy of an original cd/dvd. Therefore it still contains all copyright information. 93 | 94 | **Crack** 95 | 96 | Software cracking is the modification of software to remove encoded copy prevention. 97 | 98 | **Cracktro** 99 | 100 | A small introduction sequence added to cracked software, designed to inform the user which releasegroup was responsible for removing the software's copy prevention and distributing the crack. 101 | 102 | **DDoS Attack** 103 | 104 | A distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) occurs when multiple compromised systems flood the bandwidth or resources of a targeted system, usually web server(s). These systems are compromised by attackers using a variety of methods. 105 | 106 | **Dir Locking** 107 | 108 | The act of locking a directory so people who are not allowed to get into a directory, won't be able to get in. 109 | 110 | **DoS Attack** 111 | 112 | A denial-of-service attack is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Typically the targets are high-profile web servers, and the attack attempts to make the hosted web pages unavailable on the Internet. 113 | 114 | **Dox** 115 | 116 | Dox are single keygens/cracks/fixes etc. 117 | 118 | **DL** 119 | 120 | DL stands for Dual-Language, meaning the movie contains more than one language. Synonym ML (Multi Language). 121 | 122 | **Dump** 123 | 124 | A dump is a ftp server where releases are stored. Dumps are often faster than regular ftp servers and have a larger harddisk. Releasegroups may have a groupdump, where the group's releases are stored. Such a groupdump serves as an archive, internal exchange of releases and for spreading the group's releases. 125 | 126 | **DVD** 127 | 128 | Stands for Digital Versatile Disk (Formerly Digital Video Disk). An optic disc with the same physical size as a CD but with significantly greater storage capacity, anywhere from 4.5 Gb (single layer, single-sided) to 17 Gb storage capacity (double-layer, double sided). It uses MPEG2 compression to encode 720 480p resolution, full-motion video and Dolby Digital to encode 5.1 channels of discrete audio. The disc can also contain PCM, DTS, and MPEG audio soundtracks. 129 | 130 | **DVD5** 131 | 132 | DVD5 is an one-sided single-layer dvd disc and can contain upto 4.38 gigabytes of data on it. 133 | DVD disc manufacturers love to use marketing terms and sell their discs as 4.7GB discs, but this is not true -- the 4.7GB 134 | is calculated by using so-called "Japanese gigabytes", where the power of calculations is 1,000 instead of 1,024 (and 1.024 is the correct way to calculate everything in computer world -- so, 1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte). 135 | 136 | **DVD9** 137 | 138 | DVD9 is an single-sided dual-layer dvd disc and can hold approximately 7.95 gigabytes of data. See DVD5 for an explanation about the dvd size. 139 | 140 | **Eggdrop Bots** 141 | 142 | These bots can execute scripts like site annoucements, rss output and more. 143 | 144 | **EMUDVD** 145 | 146 | Stands for EMUlation DVD. It's quite similar to CLONEDVD. You can burn the release, but in order to run it you need an emulation program running in the background such as DT4's RMPS. You can also mount the release, but its still an emulation. The scene considers any release that requires a helper program that runs in the background to bypass the protection as emulation, and thus should be named properly as emulation. The only possible exception to this rule is ATIP hiders. 147 | 148 | **Encode** 149 | 150 | Encoding is the process of converting one digital format to another, applying known algorithms to either obscure the content of the file, or to compress or convert it to another format. 151 | 152 | **Exploit** 153 | 154 | An exploit is a piece of software, a chunk of data, or sequence of commands that takes advantage of a bug, glitch or vulnerability in software in order to get access to this computer. When the exploit is succesfull, the computer hacker can gain control of the computer system to use it for a DoS attack, or running a ftp-server. 155 | 156 | **Filler** 157 | 158 | People who put releases on to a FTP-server. 159 | 160 | **Fserve** 161 | 162 | Trading system for irc which uses the mIRC client's File Server function and some scripts so users can share their warez directly from their hard drives with each other. 163 | 164 | **FTP** 165 | 166 | File Transfer Protocol. This is the protocol used for file transfers from client to server and from server to client. With a FTP application you can move/transfer files to another computer connected to the internet independent of machine type or operating systems. The FTP protocol is used in the scene for the warez servers. 167 | 168 | **FXP** 169 | 170 | FXP is the File eXchange Protocol. It isn't an actual protocol, just a method of transfer making use of a vulnerability in FTP. It allows the transfer of files between two FTP servers. 171 | 172 | **FXP Boards** 173 | 174 | People who scan/hack/fill vulnerable computers with warez. 175 | 176 | **Hammer** 177 | 178 | The act of retrying to connect to a FTP, (almost) without a timeout between the retries, when the server is full. Hammering will slow down the server and will usually result in an ip-ban. 179 | 180 | **IMG-file** 181 | 182 | An .img file is an image of a CD/DVD. An .img file can be burned directly on a cd/dvd using Alcohol 120% for example. Not supported by all burn programs. 183 | 184 | **iND** 185 | 186 | iND stands for Independent. iND is not a real group, just term to categorize users who aren't members of a releasegroup. Occasionally there are releases done by -iND. 187 | 188 | **iNTERNAL** 189 | 190 | A release is done internal when it's released for a limited amount of people. Nowadays it's mostly used when a release is already done by another group. By adding the internal tag, the release won't be nuked. 191 | 192 | **IRC** 193 | 194 | IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. IRC is a massive network of text-based chat channels and users from all across the world. 195 | 196 | **IRC Trading** 197 | 198 | Users of IRC who download from "XDCC Bots" or "Fserves". 199 | 200 | **ISO-image** 201 | 202 | An .iso file is an image of a CD/DVD. An .iso file can directly be burned to a cd/dvd using Alcohol 120% for example. 203 | 204 | **Keygen** 205 | 206 | Keygen is a program which randomly generates software keys. 207 | 208 | **Leaking** 209 | 210 | The act of leaking ftp login info to other people. 211 | 212 | **Leeching** 213 | 214 | Downloading a lot without uploading. 215 | 216 | 217 | **Mount** 218 | 219 | To create a virtual cd/dvd drive with the content of an image file. 220 | 221 | **Nickserv** 222 | 223 | This is a service provided by many IRC networks that will allow you to register a nickname to make sure no-one else steals it on you. 224 | 225 | **NFO (.nfo file)** 226 | 227 | A nfo file is a textfile with information about the release. 228 | 229 | **NTSC** 230 | 231 | The American video format standard. 232 | 233 | **OS** 234 | 235 | Operating system of a computer, such as Windows or Mac. 236 | 237 | **OST** 238 | 239 | OST stands for Original SoundTrack. An OST is a collection of music found in a particular video game, movie, TV serie, etc. 240 | 241 | **PAL** 242 | 243 | The European video format standard. 244 | 245 | **PAR-files** 246 | 247 | These files are able to reconstruct files that are missing from the archive when downloading via newsgroups. For example, if you have downloaded an archive that was split into 47 RAR files but one of them is missing, you could simply download a PAR file for that archive. Once you have the PAR file, you can use a tool such as SmartPAR to reconstruct the missing file. 248 | 249 | **Paysite** 250 | 251 | FTP servers that unofficially host Scene releases. They work as Pay-to-Leech (P2L), so if someone wanted to download something off the site they would have to pay. 252 | 253 | **Peer-To-Peer** 254 | 255 | Sharing and delivery system where users who are logged are able to download files from eachother. 256 | 257 | **PPF** 258 | 259 | A .ppf file is a patch file, used to fix bad cd/dvd's. 260 | 261 | **Pre** 262 | 263 | When a releasegroup pre's a release, it will be available for other people and the distribution will start. Also the releasename will be registered in the pre database. 264 | 265 | **Pre-database** 266 | 267 | A database with all release titles. These release titles are not for download, they are just records. Apart from the release title, a record often also contains the release size, release date, and sometimes also NFO's. With commands one is able to 'check' a release. 268 | 269 | **Pre-spam** 270 | 271 | When a release is pre'd, it will be seen by millions of people in pre-announce channels and sites. These are channels which echo every release when it's pred. Some people (pre-spammers) abuse the fact that so many people read this and they fake releases with a message as the releasename. That way the 'release' name will be seen by all these people, this is why they do it. For example, when Germany lost against Italy in the semi finals of the FIFA World Cup 2006, there were pre spam messages like Schade.Deutschland.Alles.Ist.Vobei-2006-uSuCK. Pre-spam is certainly not tolerated and pre-spammers will be punished or scenebanned. 272 | 273 | **Pre-tool** 274 | 275 | A tool releasegroups use to pre a release simultaneously at multiple sites. Thanks to the pre-tool, the releasegroup doesn't have to pre it manually on every site, this saves them time, and the release is pre'd at the same time at all sites. 276 | 277 | **Proxy** 278 | 279 | A gateway through which users can connect to the Internet. Advantage of proxy is that servers and other www-users won't be able to view the user's real ip. 280 | 281 | **Proper** 282 | 283 | Due to scene rules, whoever releases a certain release the first, has won that race. For example, when a group releases the CAM version of Titanic the first. If there is something "wrong" with the release (poor quality, out-of-sync, audio errors etc.) and another group has a better/correct version, it can release it and add PROPER to the release title to avoid being nuked. However, the source must be the same as the original release. For example A poor quality CAM release by group A and group B releases their CAM release PROPER. A Telesync release doesn't PROPER a CAM release, because the source is different. PROPER is the most subjective tag in the scene, and a lot of people will generally argue whether the PROPER is better than the original release. The reason for the PROPER should always be mentioned in the NFO. When a group 'propers' a PROPER it is tagged as REAL.PROPER. 284 | 285 | **PSXPSP** 286 | 287 | This is a PSX (Playstation 1) game playable on a PSP (Playstation Portable) using custom PSP firmware. 288 | 289 | **Pubstro** 290 | 291 | This is a computer that has been compromised and has a FTP-server running on it. It will be used to share warez, mainly to the FXP Community. 292 | 293 | **Racer** 294 | 295 | People who try to fill a release the quickest. 296 | 297 | **Raping** 298 | 299 | A FTP-server is getting raped when many people download from a FTP-server at the same time at high speeds. 300 | 301 | **Recode** 302 | 303 | A recode is a previously released movie, usually filtered through TMPGenc to remove subtitles, fix color etc. 304 | 305 | **Rehacking** 306 | 307 | The act of hacking a computer/pubstro which someone else has already hacked, and replacing his FTP-server with his own. Rehacking will often result in a ban from all FXP boards. 308 | 309 | **Release** 310 | 311 | Original releases are rips of movies, programs, games and music, all released by groups specialized in creating these kinds of releases. 312 | 313 | **Releasegroups** 314 | 315 | Groups of people who pirate and release software, music and movies. 316 | 317 | **Repacker** 318 | 319 | Entity or Group which makes Repacks and releases them. 320 | 321 | **Repack[1]** 322 | 323 | When a Scene Group releases a fixed version of one of their older releases. 324 | 325 | **Repack[2]** 326 | 327 | A Scene Release compressed to the lightest possible, has to be installed when downloaded. 328 | 329 | **Rip** 330 | 331 | To extract or copy data from a cd/dvd to another, more useful (and smaller) format. 332 | 333 | **ROM** 334 | 335 | ROM images is used in the context of emulation for software which only runs on different hardware. These ROM images can be run on an emulator. For example, GBA rom images which are started on a GBA Emulator. Using a GBA emulator on a PC will enable the user to play GBA games on his PC. 336 | 337 | **Scanner** 338 | 339 | People who can fast IP ranges for vulnerable computers. 340 | 341 | **Scanstro** 342 | 343 | Similar to a pubstro, but it is used to scan for other vulnerable computers. 344 | 345 | **Sceneban** 346 | 347 | An individual or a group of people can be banned from the scene, because they did something seriously wrong. For example when someone appears to be a fed. 348 | 349 | **SE** 350 | 351 | SE stands for Special Edition. Like the name says, it's a special dvd edition of a movie. Often special editions contain extra material like deleted scenes, interviews, or a making-of. 352 | 353 | **Serial** 354 | 355 | A serial is a key for software. This unique key works as an extra security. 356 | 357 | **SFCLONECD / SFCLONEDVD** 358 | 359 | Same as CLONECD/DVD, but the disc's protection is Star Force. StarForce blocks the use of SCSI optical drives when IDE optical drives are present in the system, since most optical drive emulators currently work by simulating SCSI drives. StarForce, however, will authenticate discs from a SCSI optical disc drive if there are no IDE optical disc drives installed in the system; meaning that if you want to run this disc you'll have to unplug your harddisks in order to run the mounted cd or dvd image. 360 | 361 | **SFV-file (.sfv)** 362 | 363 | SFV stands for Simple File Validator and is used to check files if they became corrupt after transfer.
