aXXo Temporarily Stops Releasing DVDrips

Written by Ernesto on November 28, 2007 

The popular DVD ripper aXXo is a BitTorrent cult figure, despised by some, worshiped by others. An estimated one million people download aXXo’s rips every month and his name is among the most searched keywords on all BitTorrent sites. Not surprisingly, rumors start to spread when there is no official aXXo release for a while.

aXXo Takes Some Time OffThe last official aXXo torrent was uploaded November 11, after that is has been awfully quiet. So what happened, did he get caught, is he tired of releasing DVDrips, did he have an accident? It turns out that aXXo is not gone for good, he just decided to take a break.

ADL 242, an administrator on Darkside RG, the official home of aXXo explains: “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.”

This is not the first time that aXXo has taken some time off. Last year aXXo temporarily stopped uploading movies because a website named axxotorrents.com was trying to profit from his name. A few weeks after that the site went down and aXXo continued releasing DVDrips.

Earlier this month aXXo caused a stir when he deleted all his torrents from The Pirate Bay website. Apparently aXXo wasn’t very happy with the way The Pirate Bay handled his complaints, and decided to not release his torrents there anymore.

Unfortunately, aXXo’s popularity has downsides too. We’ve seen that anti-piracy organizations use his name to trap people into downloading fake files, and malware peddlers use the aXXo brand to spread their infested software.

At this point is is not clear how long aXXo will be inactive, his fans can only pray, and hope the he will return soon.

“This is illegal and he will get caught. I will send all my lawyers after this guy.”

Yes because Media Defender would really post on a torrent website telling us they’re sending their lawyers after him.

I am the lawyer representing Media Locker and I am here to offically put on the record that he makes mistakes. He’s not a very nice person and he would like to apologize for his retarded trolling actions.

I think we can all give his mom a round of applause for trying her hardest to mature a misguided cockweasel.

The Foundation BREIN urged the site Bittorentmonster to stop spreading illegal movies, music and software. According to pressangency ANP staat the site is down, but it appears to be still online.

Bittorrentmonster does not offer the illegal content itself, but has links to the torrents. Thats illegal in Holland. Btmon.com serves about 1,7 million visitors / month.

BREIN keeps on going. the anti-piracy foundation will go on “till the last illegal sites and servers have lerft the Netherlands”.

Heh. I’ll admit I’ve got a few axxo rips on my HD right now.

But doods, calling him a cult figure? More like an infamous pirate. He’s re-encoding scene releases for most of his ‘Rips’ with no proper credit given.

Yeah yeah, no honor among theives blah blah blah.

He knows hes done it, so do most intelligent downloaders. Various cases can be shown with proof of this.

He’s taking high quality scene rips and downcoding them to 700meg crap. I think it would be much better without him myself, as the axxofanboys would be downloading the scene releases instead, which means more peers for the rest of us.

His encodes suck quality-wise, but he certainly worked a lot for bt users. A cheer for aXXo, he deserves it.

Like axxo is the only releaser or release group for DVD rips.
Give me a break.

A little too much hype for mediocre releases,

his releases are almost always a nice, consistent size, with decent enough quality (if you really need high bitrate stuff anyway, why are you downloading 700mb movies in the first place?)

DVD rips are crap anyway, who wants 400×300 divx when you can download full dvd, or even 720p in a matter of hours.

45 Nov 28, 2007 at 17:54 by Chesterchaz

Never downloaded any of “his” releases because I’m german, but well… why not just leech the proper scene rls and not a reencode?

Anyway, he provided movies to the BT community, basically that’s a good thing, reencode or not. Nobody needs to leech it (like, I can’t get why ppl leech MVCDs but hey, let em leech that crap ^^).

He’s a shitty ripper and he won’t be missed. If you download aXXo rips, you do not know the first thing about piracy; you’re just a noob who thinks he isn’t one. I promise you that this is the case.

Now that I’ve said my piece, I’m sure a few 14 year olds will quote me and call me faggot.

aXXo is a living legend…and if you can’t appreciate the work he does….don’t bitch about it…just turn off your computer and unplug it…the big bad pirate won’t bother you ANY more that way.

@ Media Locker & those who think like him….

Fuck you, and you know why? Cause rather than exploiting us as consumers, and the artists you “represent”…we’ve taken the power to control the cost of things out of your hands and you can’t cope with it. Tough shit! You took my money for years, now I have the option to try anything before I buy it…in full unlocked and fully usable…I still support what is worth supporting and is REASONABLY priced…but I won’t pay for crap anymore…or buy it and be disappointed.

Remember why you use to go to the movies? Movie tickets where cheap, inexpensive and films where great, worth watching and watching over again on the large screen: Lawrence of Arabia, Star Wars, Steel Magnolias…. WTF happened?
We shell out $100s for a move going evening. Popcorn $5, Hotdogs $5, Soda $5 and the tickets, the tickets… OMG the Freggin tickets prices just went up again. And for what? To see mediocre, formulaic, Hollywood cookie cutter films that fail to inspire. Such a dismal state in Hollywood. Is it any wonder people rarely see films at the theater. These films that aXXo puts out to share are films most people wouldn’t bother to watch at theater or even rent a Blockbuster. But there are some films that we download and are so impressed that we rush out to the theater to watch it, or buy the DVD for the extras. Its time for Hollywood to re-evaluate circumstance in which they find themselves. There’s probably a way for Hollywood to make a profit off P2P. They just have to embrace this culture/community and work with it not against it, because no mater how many sites you break up, P2P community will just switch to a new strategy or new technology, and this community is going to be around for a very long time.

56 Nov 28, 2007 at 18:30 by blackstar

last time I checked its all free… and no one forces you to download axxo rips. so if its been re-encoded a million times, what does it matter? you know what your going to get. If we still used hotline, where you had to upload a request to download, all you babies would have nothing.

Honestly people, his rips aren’t that bad. Perhaps they aren’t scene x264, but still, DVDs aren’t exactly good quality to begin with. So seriously, stop bashing him on the grounds that his rips aren’t good unless you are releasing something far better. However, if you would like to bash him based on his behavior, go ahead.

Thanks, and aXXo, if you read this, x264 is the way to go. =D

60 Nov 28, 2007 at 19:14 by tdx

#55 is right. This will go on for a really long time no matter what… it’s just sad to see aXXo stop doing his wonderful rips and going on a break.. I would suggest to get someone to take his place for the time he’s gone and make the dvdrips we all like to watch !

64 Nov 28, 2007 at 21:36 by Skullflower

To anyone calling people noobs for downloading aXXo’s rips:

Have you ever thought that maybe people download these rips because-

1)They don’t want the full DVD
2)Highest quality isn’t to important
3)It’s only 700mb

That’s enough reasons for me. And that’s why I download those releases. It’s not because I don’t know about the other ones, it’s just I don’t need anymore then what his rips offered. Plus they fit on music CD’s which is nice because I don’t usually have blank DVD’s.

To aXXo:

Have a nice break, you certainly deserve it. I really appreciate your hard work and know that me and my wife have enjoyed your work, thank you.

Whats the big deal with caring how he gets or what he rips it with, shut the fuck up, hes actulley doing something for the P2P world while your a fucking leech, until you are puting in some work, fuck off.

He makes a difference, you don’t.

i am now a medium movie DLer and for people starting out aXXo was a safe bet, with experience i have found others. but aXXo is still my fave.

I hope he has a great break and comes back refreshed and ready to tackle all the ignorant people who don’t bother to get their facts straight.

For the people that say aXXo is a stealer, you’re wrong. You hate it that there’s someone out there that delivers compact movies with good quality while there are big tough scene guys releasing 1,4 gb movies that are either the same quality or worser quality.

I’ve been downloading movies for a while now, and i mainly downloaded aXXo and I thought it was all normal and if axxo would stop for some reason than i’d just download someone elses release. Wrong. Wrong. Now that he stopped uploading, I realise what I’m missing.

aXXo I hope you come back soon. I’ve already downloaded and enjoyed so many of your releases and I wish i could repay you in some way. Is there any legit site where I can donate to you directly?

91 Nov 29, 2007 at 00:36 by aXXo

Hello Fellow people of the P2P community , I am not on “Vacation” I will stop my releases for a short amount of time. You may ask why , the answer is a few people and I are getting our own website up and working on our own P2P software for media only . We as a team agreed to not release any of this information till the time seemed right. Our software will run on upload/download ratio , to help stop leeching , also with this news out in the open now i would like to say a few things.

I don’t like how you people are so called “Bashing” my name. Why do I mean so much to you that you go out of your way to find news , and new torrents from me. For what? , If you don’t like my work then why do you continue to find , and locate this information? One would think if you dislike something you would stay away from it. I think you people need to just move on and go gripe about something else if you don’t like it no one is forcing you to be here , or to download my torrents.

When a friend of mine came to me and told me about the recent hype of my “Vacation” was hitting Torrent Freak i had to see it for my self. Now that i have seen this with my own eye’s it is back to work for me. I will monitor this section for a while your words , thoughts , and suggestions are being read from me.

92 Nov 29, 2007 at 00:44 by me

aXXo’s name on a torrent is the mark of good quality and perfect size.

My guess, aXXo is a group of young black women, because:

(young) older people probably wouldn’t be making many dvd rips

(black) the torrents seem to always cover any film with black actors, and

(women) the number of aXXo torrents seem heavily weighted toward the horror & murder stuff women seem to like way more than guys do.

aXXo deserves all he asks for. His credit is unlimited and a break well deserved.

If he decides to retire, why not? Others are more than willing to take over and noone of us is meant to stay around forever.

aXXo, if you read this, do not worry! Stay down if you think the time has come. The last thing I want to read about you is that you have to go to jail.

to me axxo is brilliant because his rips are always high quality. His work is appreciated

100 Nov 29, 2007 at 01:41 by lol

axxo is a moron, all the rips he does are already available. I hope he gets arrested, or hit by a truck….. or something.

101 Nov 29, 2007 at 01:43 by piratebay staff

axxo is a crybaby

102 Nov 29, 2007 at 01:49 by kuratk

I don’t know If it’s just me, but I don’t think the real Sceners have a grudge against aXXo, well, at least they don’t want him dead or arrested, not like these flaming/trolling wannabe Razor 1911’s here :/

PS! Using obsene language doesn’t make your statements more serious, just silly.

103 Nov 29, 2007 at 01:55 by Solitaris

hate this axxo noob riper and his whs quality rips

104 Nov 29, 2007 at 01:55 by Viper007Bond

I’m confused. What’s so great about aXXo and how are his rips any different from any of the Scene groups?

I don’t see what the big deal is…

105 Nov 29, 2007 at 01:59 by kuratk

@Viper007Bond

aXXo is just well known for his consistency. He isn’t better or worse than other Sceners, he’s just well known. Kind of a celebrity, while others, still good, haven’t got as much prime time in the eyes of the average downloader.

@Solitaris

If you have ever downloaded an aXXo rip, which i am sure you have, then you can’t possibly say that he has VHS(!!! not WHS !!!) quality rips. Be serious, making false statements doesn’t earn you good points.

PS! vol. bazillion. don’t flame, it’s pointless

106 Nov 29, 2007 at 02:13 by rn

Still I love aXXo’s releases, I think he is only bitching.

I hope that’s true, but the only reason I think TPB appears to have huge balls of steel is because they believe they are immune from legal action thanks to the laws in their country. My money says if this wasn’t the case they wouldn’t seem as bad ass as they do now, and probably would’ve called it quits ages ago.

It’s not that sites like Demonoid and others that give into threats are pussies, it’s just that their circumstances are different.

axxo has done wonders for the P2P community, unlike some.
whatever axxo decides to do, is up to him, not you, if you do not like his rips dont Dl em. if the axxo post above is legit, i wish you luck.

[quote comment="226268"]Remember why you use to go to the movies? Movie tickets where cheap, inexpensive and films where great, worth watching and watching over again on the large screen: Lawrence of Arabia, Star Wars, Steel Magnolias…. WTF happened?
We shell out $100s for a move going evening. Popcorn $5, Hotdogs $5, Soda $5 and the tickets, the tickets… OMG the Freggin tickets prices just went up again. And for what? To see mediocre, formulaic, Hollywood cookie cutter films that fail to inspire. Such a dismal state in Hollywood. Is it any wonder people rarely see films at the theater. These films that aXXo puts out to share are films most people wouldn’t bother to watch at theater or even rent a Blockbuster. But there are some films that we download and are so impressed that we rush out to the theater to watch it, or buy the DVD for the extras. Its time for Hollywood to re-evaluate circumstance in which they find themselves. There’s probably a way for Hollywood to make a profit off P2P. They just have to embrace this culture/community and work with it not against it, because no mater how many sites you break up, P2P community will just switch to a new strategy or new technology, and this community is going to be around for a very long time.[/quote]

111 Nov 29, 2007 at 03:02 by a real scener

Sigh…

It’s common knowledge that aXXo just re-encodes scene releases (mostly DVDRs and to a lesser extent, XVIDs).

No big deal that he’s gone, but for fucks sake - torrentfreak and the rest of the fanboys - STOP CALLING HIM A DVD RIPPER. Ripping implies that you are working from an original source - not just using downloaded DVDRs/XVIDs and claiming them as your own.

The opening paragraph of this article should be changed to look something like this:

The popular DVD re-encoder aXXo is a BitTorrent cult figure, despised by some, worshiped by others. An estimated one million people download aXXo’s re-encodes every month and his name is among the most searched keywords on all BitTorrent sites. Not surprisingly, rumors start to spread when there is no official aXXo release for a while (but don’t worry, because the scene releases he uses as his sources won’t stop appearing all over the place).

112 Nov 29, 2007 at 03:20 by hezekiah

It’s always interesting to see just how divided people are on aXXo… some love him for all his releases, some despise him for his “stealing” from The Almighty Scene. I haven’t seen this “proof” myself, but that’s not to say it’s not out there.
I myself appreciate aXXo’s work, whether or not he’s the one who does all of it. Yes, the Scene does have the potential for higher-quality releases, thanks to their larger sizes. BUT. Fact is, it’s hard to easily track down a certain movie’s scene release, if one exists. At least on torrents, that is. I’m pretty confident that the average bittorrent-only user likes aXXo a hell of a lot more than the average Scene member, and not just because of his “thefts”; in the Scene, it’s easy to find other Scene stuff, ’cause that’s its source. Sometimes it filters down to bittorrent (usually), but it doesn’t always get where it “needs to be” for BT users.
AFAIK, there is no one uploader who deals in solely scene releases, at least not in the numbers that aXXo does. Sites like isohunt have a bunch of copies of a given movie, but there’s no easy, fast way to tell if a release labeled as Scene or aXXo is, in fact, a Scene or aXXo release. With aXXo, you’ve got dependable, reliable sources to find his releases.

“This is illegal and he will get caught. I will send all my lawyers after this guy.”
The first thing I thought after I read this was “well, someone’s trying to be funny… threatening aXXo so he’ll continue releases”. Apparently my thought wasn’t very widely held `~`

“I like how the above post capitalized “Almighty Scene”. TF should post something on scene… it really is quite remarkable.”
I capitalized that solely to highlight the fact that many Scene members feel that way about it. I am not of the opinion that the Scene is “almighty” or anything like that.
Also: continued capitalization of “Scene” is to be specific to the warez scene, as opposed to other types. Also, I just felt like it `~`

hmmmm, so much tension over one releaser lmfao.

Bottom line, there are other releasers who can do the job.

If aXXo dont come back somebody will step up and replace them, if they do happy days for the aXXo fanboys.

either way its not the end of p2p or ripped movies so stop the bitching ffs.

Is showing out a good thing? Yes.

I don’t understand why I should spend a lot of time searching, to get “twice the size” movies with almost the same quality(an average person can not see the difference without side-by-side comparison). And the ones bashing aXXo -> if you want justice and good quality, then go buy the damn movie!

I’m no fan-boy, I just like the availability and quality of aXXo’s releases, and I think they are not bad enough to deserve the bashing posted here.

aXXo is a major negative in the BitTorrent world. So many fools look up to him, seeing him as the person who created the media or even supplied it. aXXo, and those who treat him any different than any other file-sharer are essentially pushing the idea that he is a required ‘middle man’ for your media.

This is EXACTLY what file-sharing is trying to stamp out. We don’t need fucking middle men taking credit and demanding respect and authority. This is what the RIAA, MPAA etc. represent.

Share freely and don’t fall for some glory seeking moron who is in this for kicks.

For the absolute simpletons who believe without him there’ll be nothing - you should educate yourself to how internet piracy actually works. aXXo is actually BELOW the bottom of the ladder and isn’t necessary.

Just because he’s popular doesn’t mean he’s any good. People are just as ignorant to filesharing as they are phishing and security. Kazaa is used by millions - does that make it good?

I put it to you - aXXo is the new KaZaA.

FUCK YOU

141 Nov 29, 2007 at 20:09 by dubeSack

I don’t know why people bash aXXo for the quality, he makes a fantastic rip considering the size. If you want DVD quality then spend a day or two downloading a 4gb file. But there are people like me who don’t have the time or bandwidth to spend downloading DVD’s; hell I can download 6 aXXo rips for 1 DVD.

If you want quality. Download it. Don’t bash. aXXo appeals to a particular group. It’s like people shopping at WalMart as opposed to Whole Foods. Costs less at one but more at the other because of quality. Still, you won’t find me in Whole Foods bashing someone for spending 4 dollars on a loaf of bread; or vice versa.

If I desire the utmost of quality for a movie I’ll go out and buy the HD-DVD; ie, 300. But if I just want to see the latest rant from Michael Moore I will download aXXo.

Looking forward to your return aXXo.

PS. Tis’ the season. Remember to seed.

142 Nov 29, 2007 at 20:17 by dubeSack

Correction: “…he makes a fantasic re-encode considering the size.”
I agree he is not a DVD ripper but a re-encoder most of if not all the time. But the fact remains, he is taking a product and making it better.

Gosh, you people are truly stupid.

You get mad at somebody stealing scene groups, when D’OH scene groups are stealing from the big man.

WHAT A BIG FUCKING HYPOCRISY. If you don’t like it, shove a knife up your ass.

If he was making profit it, maybe then we could bitch at him, but no.

I download axxo most of the time cus it’s 700mb dvd rip. If the scene releases the 1cd 700mb instead of the usual 2cd 1.4gb, I download that. Whichever is smaller.

P.S: Not an axxo fan-boy.

150 Nov 29, 2007 at 23:48 by Karen 66

Most of the above post are by MPAA trying to give a bad name to file sharing, and decided to take down and pick on aXXo, because he is famous for sharing our culture’s heritage among the people, just like Good Robin Hood gave money to the poor.

The rich and wealthy need NOT bother to download low quality rips, as they have the best Blue-ray technologies.

The few Americans who can afford the high cost of paying to watch a movie once, good for you, but the rest of us living in third world countries down even get a chance, unless someone shares…

After thinking about this issue, it’s plain and simple, a few want to monopolize the market, obviously to get rich, and they don;t mind making us criminals for them to profit…

First it’s our culture, be country, or humanity… and it shouldn’t be forbidden and denied so just a few can rape the rest of us…

When you think about it, the MPAA like the RIAA, don’t create, don;t innovate, and are not even artist, they just steal, cheat and use other individuals work to redistribute for their own profits…

get organized and pas new laws forbidding these capitalist from raping us all…
