The BitTorrent Legend Returns: I Am aXXo
Written by Ernesto on March 09, 2008During November last year we reported that the popular DVD ripper aXXo had decided to take a break and stop releasing new material for a while. It now seems that he is back in business. A few hours ago aXXo uploaded his first movie in months. He chose “I Am Legend”.
Since November 11 2007, when the last official aXXo torrent was uploaded, it has been awfully quiet. Some people assumed that aXXo had got himself caught while others claimed he had an accident. After a while it became clear that he simply decided to take some time off.
An administrator on Darkside RG, the official home of aXXo explained at the time: “aXXo told us that he has decided to take a break, so you will not see new aXXo torrents anywhere for a while. Please show your support by keeping his torrents alive until he comes back, as always, he will post here first when he does.”
Now, after nearly four months of absence aXXo has returned, and uploaded his first .torrent on Darkside RG and other torrent sites. It’s the news that many BitTorrent users have been waiting for.
Marking his comeback with the movie “I Am Legend” could be seen as symbolic. Before aXXo decided to take a break, an estimated one million people downloaded his DVDrips every month. The search term aXXo was undoubtedly the most popular at many torrent sites. Although there are conflicting opinions in respect of the quality of his work, there can be no dispute that he was, and still is, very popular indeed.
While some see him in an almost religious light, others have been quick to take advantage of his popularity for nefarious purposes, or have used the aXXo brand to draw attention to their own releases, like KLAXXON did.
Even though some see him as a legend, aXXo certainly isn’t without his critics but whatever the position, his popularity is indisputable…..along with his modesty ;)

Don’t worry guys!Axxo will never be caught! Didn’t you hear him say’thank god in my country there is no copyright stuff?
FBI can’t catch him in Ireland,can it?
Nor can interpol!
Bah o tal do aXXo apavora!
Go back aXXO
uiahuiahuiahuiahuiaa
Here’s the main reason people like axxo torrents, its because not every one has 500 gigs of memory to blow on fucking movies. So what if the quality is I can download a hell of a lot more of his videos and faster then any thing that’s going to take up 8gb.
i heard aXXo got caught at a Xmas charity party scribbling out peoples names on the donation cheques and replacing em with his tag….
and yea he DOES BUM CHICKENS!! hell! why not? apparently he has done everything fuckin else on teh intraweb … spend some more time away u spotty little virgin nerd…. or better still, move to another p2p network like limewire…. u can retag all u want on there u prick..
AND STOP BUMMING CHICKENS !!!!!!!!!
I don’t worship axxo but I do download his stuff once in a while if there are more seeders than leechers.
I don’t care about scene groups, or who released what, I just want to download my movies quick and easy so I can watch ‘em.
Don’t hate on axxo but don’t worship him either. get a life
aXXo does a good job, I download his torrents often but I have to say I would like better quality audio/video. I would go elsewhere for torrents but you can’t always rely on random people or who might be tracking it. With aXXo it may not be the best quality but you know what your getting and where its coming from. Plus massive seeding helps too :D Keep up the good work aXXo, but im waiting for HD from you!
klaxxon shits on axxo from a great height.
klaxxon rips are far superior to the crappy cropped shity sound bollox that tw-axxo-t releases
Everyone needs to stop bitching. Quality for his movies are almost always 100%. He gets attention because yeah, he makes his rips fit cds, and because he gets stuff out before its released (or thats how it was in the past anyway). He’s popular because he is. DEAL WITH IT.
hiya, just come across this website, they upload all aXXo, KLAXXON and fxg torrents all on one page, so you dont need to go searching for them, there is even a request page that gets viewd by aXXo, KLAXXON and fxg, for the 1’st time iv ever seen you can actuly reques torrents by aXXo and he listens

i luv axxo but if we download his movie fast then he would top 1 torrent movie kid i hope you understnd
that you have to make our downloads fast
:)
aXXo is a low-life scumbag asshole. His torrents (at least “Humboldt County”) are encoded with some weird codec that you can only get by wading through one of those “Offers” sites where you have to buy something to get the codec. He’s making money off his torrents. He’s in this for personal gain. Boycott aXXo. aXXo, you are truly a little fucking jerk. I doubt your movies are “high quality”, any compression is degrades quality, even if you’re too stupid to see it. aXXo–FUCK OFF.
I doubt your movies are “high quality”
Realy? you know?
So what say about Axxo….
I can only comment that he is the god of DvD-torrent. His rips are one of the fastest downloads on my Vuze. Always has the perfect quality i trust him to provide me with and also don’t forget that there is nothing more reassuring then the approvement of OZperson (is he famous too?) ,the reason i download axxo torrents almost blindly.
To be the best in whatever you do in this world,you must have a source of information which a small group only have acces to (the sceners). Then you must have the expertise to release this valuable information to the large unknowing public (we the torrent dowloaders). If everybody in the scene can do a lot better and think that Axxo is giving them a bad name, then they must do something about it,but do not forget that “we the torrent downloaders” do not care about the source, we do not care about how much effort you do, we do not care if it is re-encode or whatever name you use to rip a dvd, We do not care if Axxo is known as arrogant…….
WE ONLY CARE ABOUT THE RESULTS!!
We want fast dowloads ,good video and audio quality, and all this done with the shortest amount of discspace required.
Who has been clearly be the one to provide this for us?
aXXo!!!
So if anyone claims that he or she can do better,then please enlighten us with your magic,show the global network your skills….and if you provide us with what we want….
WE WILL MAKE YOU OUR GOD
