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.

axxo!! plzzz go on with the dvdrips. ahahhaah hee and another thing who is buying all of the dvd’s in stores haha. everyone is downloaden once in a while so what the fuck!! GO AXXO
owww and fuck you prick +6
axxo - take a break you deserve 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.
I’ll wait for the aXXo release of this news article thank you very much. ^_^
/me hides.
[quote comment="226600"]axxo is a moron, all the rips he does are already available. I hope he gets arrested, or hit by a truck….. or something.[/quote]
Yeah well i hope your mom dies of cancer:) now go fuck your fat sister to sleep you inbreed.Thanks axxo for the rips you still the man !!!
[quote comment="226869"][quote comment="226667"]… 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.[/quote]
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 comment="226035"]media locker : without axxo and others you’d be unemployed[/quote]
How ture lol….
Gutted u Prick + 7
aXXo gets much love… Thanks lots
im 100% sure that all u cunts that keep bitchin n giving shit to axxo have seen at least 1 of his rips.
im downloading every single movie he posts for some years now,since he started posting in torrentspy n demonoid n i was always sure about the result..brilliant!
maybe u think its shitty quality n blah blah blah but unless u’ve uploaded n shared with the entire planet the same gigabytes as he did u have no right to say a fuckin word about him.
cunt off n run to ur mommies now.
[quote comment="225989"]This is illegal and he will get caught. I will send all my lawyers after this guy.[/quote]
Fuck You!
I bet your one of those pricks that agrees with actors receiving 20 and 30 million per film for 9 months work.
It is about time that the technology is now available to to knock these greedy scum bags down a peg or two.
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.
WOW!

lets chat about it.
This guy is in the bottom of some lake. Mess with the money men and you dissappear.
axxo is like neo
bypassing a billion dollar business.
the problem isn’t axxo, axxo’s have lived on this plante for ever, the problem are these people who say “cannot have cookie before dinner”
axxo is the smart kid who finds the cookie and not only does he eat it up, he shares with his fellow cookielovers
he is robin hood of movie
wouldn’t it be funnie
if someone made a movie of axxo?
Thanks axxo for all your work, really appreciate it.
hope you come back on top form, i’ll be looking out for your return, you will be missed.
cheers! x
i like axxo
the quality of the videos is good enough
what is so great about “scene” releases?
too large downloads imo, takes too long
FUCK YOU
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.
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.

See there are brains amongst the pirates, why the hell get 4gb when you can get 700mb of the same quality???
Ohh and if you wanted to know, keep an eye out for the 666inc releases, they got a super fast seedbox on each release for 24hrs ;)
PEOPLE STOP LICKING AXXO’S NUTS.
HE’S A RE-ENCODER. BIG FREAKING HAIRY DEAL! ANYONE CAN DO WHAT HE DOES. I REPEAT, ANYONE. SO WHAT? SO THE GUY HAS UPLOADED A CRAPLOAD OF TORRENTS…..AGAIN I SAY BIG DEAL. ANY SCHMO WITH AN IQ ABOVE 60 COULD DO WHAT HE DOES. I MYSELF PREFER QUALITY RIPS WITH 5.1 SOUND, BUT THATS MY OPINION. THE POINT IM TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT ANY NET-KIDDIE WITH A LITTLE SENSE COULD BE DOING THE SAME EXACT THING AND YOU GUYS WOULD LICK HIS NUTS TOO….IDIOTS.
Now that aXXo is on a break, who else can I trust to upload good quality films? Who should I dl from now?

Then shut the fuck upo and do it you fat-fucking inbred cum-swallowing mother fucker.
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.
P.S.S: You fucking scums, shut the fuck up.
Thank you.
I hope he comes back soon :( and you who threatens with lawyers go f yourself.Think about all students who dont have a lot of money to buy cd, etc… Axxo is great for uploading all he does, it gives us something to do when we`re not reading.
@ Media Locker
..eat shit and die
give the guy a break. He provides a decent 700mb movie that you usually have in less than an hour. Fuck all this scene talk. If I want dvd or hd quality then I buy the fucking movie. As a matter of fact I’ve dl’d some of axxo’s movies and the ones I like I buy for the better quality.
