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.

hang on, this (incredibly interesting, i must say) argument has been going on for THIRTY THREE PAGES! now, i know that its a highly fuelled topic, i mean, jesus, its the most important element of our days! but lets just kinda look at what we are sayin.. its all a bunch of stupid ramblings. oh its all very technical and correct, but frankly, the most interesting comment to date a found was post number 801 (nice work ‘caveman’). although thats just me, i personally prefer to watch the movies i download rather than argue about the quality :-P calm down everyone, its just an article.

I don’t care about anything all of you fuckers say, trying to slander aXXo for his work. I don’t think he is a cult figure, but he provides most of the excellent torrent downloads out there. If he does “not give people the right credit” then that means someone else has done this first, right? Prove it. Where are all these other providers that aXXo rips off?

Get a life, stop sladering someone doing the world a favour stopping people getting ripped off my media companies and enjoy the work his fans like him so much for.

DUDE, DO THE MATH. IT’S NOT THAT HARD TO FIGURE OUT THAT HE USES SCENE DVDR’S FOR HIS RIPS. THE SCENE IS HIS PROVIDER.
