aXXo Temporarily Stops Releasing DVDrips
Written by Ernesto on November 28, 2007The 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.
The 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.

Include your nerdy self too.

You fail at torrents, and thus you are an aXXo fan-boy, like the rest of TPB leeches. You can’t find things for a reason, and the reason is you suck.[/quote]
Well, then it’s not about aXXo, it’s about other Sceners not trying to show out as much.
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.[/quote]
Hear Hear! I completely agree!
Its not a blind faith toward axxo, but a well-earned respect![/quote]
Ditto.
this is really sad…but i know..the break maybe just to celbrate the christmay off…so it’ll be too long…he just a normal human just need to take some rest for his life as better human…ok keep supporting…I think it will come with more suprising

Exsqueeze me. Me thinks me totally agree with thee.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha Haaaa!!!!
They say all property is theft, right? People use axxo cos they know they wont be stung by a virus. He’s tried an’ tested an’ that’s that.
They also say all publicity is good publicity so keep on flamin’. You assholes are doin’ him a favour.
Have a good Christmas, man. See you around.

My Parents werent rich idiot. And yeah, anyone can. take 1-2 hours of your time, do a little research, and presto! you too can become one of the “computer literate” and encode your own movies “in 5.1.” also, do you really need to make 3 posts to get your point across? What the hell was your point anyway?[/quote]
dude im just messing with you because i dont understand why you came to these sight and call everyone an idiot. do you think that you know something more than everyone else and feel like you most share this with us. why?
@Jagermeister
No “Dude” I just call them like I see them. And, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to imply that EVERYONE here is an idiot. That would be ridiculous.
And yes, apparently I DO know more than most here, since people think Axxo is a God just because he re-encodes other peoples releases. Let me give an example…I just got the Futurama Vol. 4 4-disc set. Well, those are all dual-layer DVD’s that come to roughly 26 GB for all four discs. I Compressed them down to 1 Dual layer disc (8.5GB), with custom menus and DTS/AC3 Audio…This took around 17 hours on my computer, but let me tell you, the quality is incredible for the amount of compression. Now, my point is, that I researched this for like an hour to find the proper software to do the job, then there was like a 30 min learning curve because I was unfamilliar with the software. BUT 17 hours later and I have something pretty sweet when you consider the cost of dual-layer media and 26GB vs 8.5, the time was worth it. Now, Everyone here can do the same thing with a little time and effort. Anyways, the point is that it’s not an act of genius to re-encode a video and maintain quality and all of you can do it! Now, GO ENCODE SOMETHING. (If anyone is interested in the software I use, let me know) BTW I didn’t mean to sound condescending to you all.
Have a good day :-)
BTW, If I released the above video, how many people would download it?
I’m guessing not too many since it is 8.5GB and everyone wants to save bandwidth.
My followers, i will be back! Soon!
I bet ur the real aXXo too lol.
If you are, I think it’s
funny that you refer to these people as your “followers”
just an observation.
aXXo rules.. Hope he fixes his problem w/e that is.. so he can come back
aXXo is the best! ! !
i will miss u axxo
It’s sad aXXo is taking a break, but I’d say it’s a well deserved one.
And I concur with the “go fuck yourself prick” posted above.
LOVE U aXXo
ur r very fucking famouse.hope u come back soooooon
Respect to aXXo for doing what we cant. Releasing movies with watchable quality, in sync, and wihtout any of our anal Scene rules on 6 pass encodings and multi part rars. Might we also say that he sources from the same place we do, and does not rip us off. Hell if it wasn’t for the fact our crap hits first,we’d steal his work because at least its done right. Some times our head is stuck so far up our own arses it’s no wonder it takes us 2 or 3 times to get things right, but fuck you, we dont care if you download our releases with bad cracks, our blurry cams, our hacked up screeners, or completely fucked audio, we’re l33t. aXXo is to good for us anyway.
omfg stfu all you do is whining. Do something that your mother forbids and beat up some kids. this page is so long and pointles! yeh he has taken a break! dont bother write anything if it isent important and care for the rest of u:) no point arguing end of discusion. ……NO I SAID I DONT CARE
axxo, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor! Keep it up, fucking corporations can go swivel on my middle finger, make enough money out of us as it is. Time we took something back

What aXXo Is Doing Is NOT ILLEGAL!!!
Under Creative Commons License. He Has Every Right To Upload Movies At His Own Risk! As Long As He Does Not Make Money Off Of It And He Does Not Promote It Or His Name. He Is Not Breaking The Law! What He Is Doing Is Fine And He Cannot Be Arrested
If You Think What I’m Telling You Is A Lie
Go to CreativeCommons.org
i dont like to go to the theater so i wait for axxo releases. THX FOR HELPING MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE axxo!!
No offense to aXXo, but…
aXXo is just brilliant at advertising tbh, builds up a nice rep, and get a hell of a load of credit, yeye. he may be pissing about not ppl worshiping him or whatever, i dont rly care. which also makes him/her a genius is that the releases are made so even the worst noob can DL it and see it so why dont u just do like most of us do and download from reliable sources, put a nice thank u as a post, then enjoy ur movie/game or whatever? i dont believe il come back to check up on my post or something, but if ur not that ignorant, think about what i just said, dont whine about spelling mistakes, or threaten me with ur lawyers.
And to aXXo, thx for releasing good enough quality movies and building up a great rep for urself.
and ofcourse at post #55 u made a hell of a point there
axxo king OF PIRATE NET
