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.

firstly aXXo is still around he is klaxxon he changed his named cuz of u faggots who just keep bashing him n his superb work just cuz either ur computer sux or like the other guy said ur downloadin fakes from the pirate bay. secondly aXXo i know u r readin theses blogs speak up dude i n the rest of ur fans miss ya man. lastly the reason hardly anyone goes to theatres anymore is simply becuz it’s costs more to see the movie then it does to buy the dvd movie theatres have been rippin us movie goers for yrs n we only just realized it thats why the writers guild actually went on strike.

IF ANY OF YOU UNDERSTOOD ANYTHING ABOUT ENCODING, YOU WOULD KNOW HIS RIPS SUCK. ANALYZE THEM FOR CHRISSAKE AND NOTICE THE LOW BITRATES ETC. AND FOR ALL THOSE WHO SAY “TRY AND DO BETTER OR SHUT THE FUCK UP”: I ALREADY HAVE DONE ABOUT 30 RIPS AND EVERY ONE OF THEM IS BETTER THAN ANY AXXO RELEASE. NUMBERS AND VIDEO ANALYSIS DOESEN’T LIE. I’M NOT SAYING WHERE MY UPLOADS ARE BECAUSE OF THE MPAA TWATS THAT PROBABLY TROLL THIS BOARD DAILY. HAVE FUN WHINING ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET A GOOD 700 MB RIP….

hey Jacksmack, anyone fool can increase biterate but in doing so you also increase the file size, daa! which is kinda defeating the purpose of making 700mb rips that suit so many people

@ onother axxo fan

Firstly, learn proper grammar and how to spell. Secondly, get with the times and quit worrying about the fucking 700 MB filesize. you people act like DVD media is expensive. Thirdly, there are several ways to tweak your encode to still have a decent b/px. The fact is, different media requires different bitrates and filesizes to get decent quality.

737 Feb 15, 2008 at 04:47 by King_pIG

Well of course JACKSMACK, But it’s all about time and convience these days. It’s alot quicker downloading a 700mb file instead of 4gb file. And yes you can re-encode files with higher bit rate and put them on the web anyone can do it. but as I said it’s all about convience these days.
I mean you can either download a copy of some movie that is HD quailty but could take days to download. or you can get the same movie, yes a little more pixle lated and yes not as crisp sound but you can still enjoy the same movie. But it’ll only take an hour or two to download, and also like anyone cares about “quailty” that much have you seen some relases of import DVD’s? aXXo’s movies still kick there ass. It’s not like the leeches downloading them have freaking expensive home cinemas where it’ll make a difference. If they cared so much they’d just wait to buy the proper DVD. And as we’re i’m from his files are released sooner there then they are here on DVD so I like being able to his files at CONVIENCE and he’s well known for good work and good seeds so why not share his files?
The fact is. A movie is just a movie if you want to see a movie that’s great quailty go pay for it, or if you’re happy with what you can get because you just want to SEE the movie then aXXo is not a bad way to go.

THATS FUNNY. “GO PAY FOR IT”….

DO YOU REALIZE HOW STUPID THAT SOUNDS IN THIS THREAD ON THIS SITE?

THE FACT IS, YOU CAN RIP MOST MOVIES TO ABOUT 1 GB AND KEEP AC3 5.1 AND HAVE ALMOST UNNOTICEABLE QUALITY DIFFERENCE. STOP ACTING LIKE THE 700 MB FILESIZE IS SO IMPORTANT. IT ISN’T. MOST STANDALONES CAN PLAY UP TO A 2 GB FILE. AND THE CD ARGUMENT IS OUT THE WINDOW WITH DVD MEDIA BEING AS CHEAP AS IT IS. BUT NEVERMIND THAT, I’LL JUST GO BUY IT LMFAO. HOW CONVENIENT IS IT TO WAIT ON AXXO UNTIL HIS HIGHNESS ENDS HIS “VACATION”? YOU CAN WAIT AND WHINE ABOUT CONVENIENCE WHILE I GO GRAB SOME MOVIES.

739 Feb 16, 2008 at 16:29 by JACKSMACK

P.S. JUST GET A USENET ACCOUNT AND DOWNLOAD 4-5 FULL DVDS WHILE YOU SLEEP FOR ABOUT .50 A DAY ROFL. NOW THATS CONVENIENCE. THEN YOU CAN ENCODE THEM TO WHATEVER SPECS YOU WANT YOURSELF, OR JUST BURN EM.

Media locker i hope you get raped by 100 donkeys :D

AXXO is the savior and the HERO !!!
I hope you are on the beach with 6 girls named Amanda and Tiffany .

741 Feb 17, 2008 at 06:44 by @All you haters

how the fuck is he a scammer? Did he ask for money? NO.

Did he try to make sure you guys weren’t fooled by false websites? YES

Did he work hard and released almost a movie a day? YES

If I did that much work for nothing… the LEAST I would want is a little respect to my name, you bunch of fucking assholes

742 Feb 17, 2008 at 08:00 by King_pIG

Jack smack I wouldn’t be stating thing s that sound stupid as you claim to be someone that rips and creates movies to download.
Then I think it’s stupid you’re wasting time here, instead of putting effort into reading and complaining in this thread which should have no affect on your if you’re happy doing your own thing. You should put that effort to try and get your downloads as popular as aXXos..

743 Feb 19, 2008 at 19:10 by JACKSMACK

HEY MORON, I DONT CARE TO HAVE MY RIPS AS “POPULAR” AS AXXO’S. POPULAR = TROUBLE. THIS IS WHY I UPLOAD TO ONE PRIVATE TRACKER EXCLUSIVELY. THE PEOPLE ON THIS TRACKER KNOW MY QUALITY ROCKS AND I GET ALL THE RESPECT I NEED FROM THEM. NUFF SAID. AND EXACTLY WHAT DID I SAY THAT SOUNDED STUPID? MAYBE YOU NEED TO CLEAN YOUR GLASSES OR MAYBE IT’S THE FACT THAT YOU ACTUALLY DIDN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAID, THAT MADE IT SOUND “STUPID” TO YOU. YOUR LOGIC IS EXTREMELY FLAWED. AT ANY RATE, I’M NOT TRYING TO BASH ANYONE, BUT YOU ALL ACT LIKE AXXO WAS THE ONLY RIPPER DOING QUALITY 700 MB RIPS. THATS JUST NOT TRUE.

744 Feb 21, 2008 at 14:04 by Jay

Just searched and found 11*Axxo connected to film downloading.

Must be aXXo’s biggest fan :)

COME BACK!! I need u man! Cant afford to go to the movies :(

745 Feb 23, 2008 at 04:21 by Niagara

The people who complain about aXXo is much worse then the people downloading from him. If you hate him so much, why bother commenting here at all? Just give a crap and go walk your dog or something, do something better. If we who download from him is so bad, what does that make you; lowlives like you who complain about something that is cherrished by most people for no reason. You are the ones who should get a life, not aXXo downloaders.

Have a nice break, mate, hope to see you soon.

746 Feb 23, 2008 at 20:12 by JACKSMACK

HEY F*CKSTICK READ THE ENTIRE POST…YEAH THE WHOLE THING. ABSORB AND COMPREHEND IT.

THEN COMMENT.

IM NOT BASHING AXXO. FACTS ARE FACTS.

I’M JUST TRYING TO OPEN PEOPLES EYES. BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS. THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER SOURCES FOR A GOOD 700 MB RIP. I GET SO TIRED OF HEARING “AXXO UR A GOD”, “AXXO CAN I LICK YOUR NUTZ?”….DUDE DON’T TELL ME TO GET A LIFE WHEN AXXO IS OBVIOUSLY YOURS.
