It would increase the overall seeders and lifespan of the torrent they post. I just wish they would release each series as one giant torrent rather then single episodes torrents.

At most they add their own tag also (and not always at that). Anyway, if release groups were so interested in marking their releases they should really encode it directly into the video as filenames simply aren't a reliable way to keep the info. (although there is probably a stupid scene rule against that) Anyway, I think you are being fairly underestimating in what work it is to do what they do. If I lived in the US, I could cap a TV show, encode it and then upload it onto p2p. All by myself. Sure, others could probably do it with better quality and if I were to miss a show I wouldn't have a backup. What I couldn't do however, is to provide reliable seeds, a decently design website, an irc channel, and large amount of different shows and make all of that availible to tens of thousands of people under a known name. I am not saying that encoding is no work. I am simply saying that distribution is just as much if not more work. Personally I mostly use a private site that is equally good (if not better), but I recognize the great work that eztv has been doing for the last few years, providing the public with a great service.

I always thought EZTV needed more educational stuff. Sure adding nova and the universe was good, but not great compared to what good shows they have missed. This is so great.

No, EZTV doesn't encode, nor do they rename. They take scene releases, unpack them and distribute the main video file via bittorrent to the masses in the simplest manner possible. As for what they get out of it? Probably what many people into filesharing get out of it. A genuine pleasure of sharing information with the rest of humanity. The knowledge that every copy distributed will be watched by someone, therefore increases its real value to society as a whole.

If not money. I love MVG and I thought they where doing fine (100k+ users), as fore EZTV I never used there "service" (which I'm sure i great)but I know a lot of people do. Are EZTV a reencode (or even renaming) group or do they use original sources? I hate to be mr. negative but what does ether of the parties get out of this? If not money.

JumpinS, bless him, has tried to automate as much of this as possible but when someone comes along and asks if we'd like to do something like this you'd have to be stupid to say no. I look forward to seeing the results. @ DeathCharge9, everyones allowed a typo ;)
