    Default Lord of the Rings: Return of the King on the BT tracker

    Umm, we don't support movies. So somebody might want to pull the plug on that quick. It's 8GB and has 2000 peers! It's probalby useing 100x more bandwidth than every other torrent on the the tracker combined
    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    Who put that on? Anyways, BT doesnt use bandwidth. (as far as I know) It copies it off of others computers and not a server. No problem about the bandwidth but it should still be removed cause it is against EP's whole theme and legal policies and whatnot.

    Yes, I agree, this is just being cheap. Sharing old games makes sense since it is hard to find most of them and are pretty much defunct. Sharing movies not even out of the theater yet is pretty stupid...
    The leader is never the idiot, rather the people who follow....

    Never heard of a ps2 game with 2 discs. Its possible, but for a LOTR game, I highly doubt it.

    The file says it's a Centropy rip. As far as I know Centropy only rips movies.

    And the tracker does use bandwidth, what do you think the announce url is for Although it has waaaay more traffic, Scarywater has mentioned in the past that their tracker eats up 250GB+ a month.

    Yes, the BT Tracker does use some bandwidth, how else do you think does it know how many seeders, etc. are there ? It's reponsible for connecting all the seeds together etc. etc.
    Granted that it doesn't use that much bandwidth, more like a small IM service...

    But LOTR has been removed

    You sure? Cause I still see it there. But looking at the added time, they might of thrown it back on :\
