Klaxxon Starts Where aXXo Left Off
Written by Ernesto on December 20, 2007A few weeks ago we reported that the popular DVD ripper aXXo decided to take a break and stopped releasing new material for the time being. Around the same time a new face entered the non-scene scene and whenever people searched for aXXo torrents, KLAXXON rips started to appear.
The last official aXXo torrent was uploaded over a month ago, after that is has been awfully quiet. When aXXo was still active, an estimated one million people downloaded his DVDrips every month. This did not go unnoticed to malware peddlers and anti-piracy organizations who used the aXXo tag to spread their evil. However, it now seems that a new ripper called KLAXXON, is also benefiting from aXXo’s popularity.
It’s safe to say that KLAXXON’s name is inspired by aXXo, thereby using the popularity of aXXo to promote his/her DVDrips in the search results of BitTorrent sites. It’s an effective way to get attention because even after a month of absence, aXXo is still among the most searched keywords on most BitTorrent sites.
It turns out that KLAXXON’s timing was spot on. Intentionally or not, the rips (mostly older titles) started to appear on torrent sites a few days before aXXo posted his last torrent. The quality of the rips is not bad according to most of the comments. The only thing thats seems odd are the file sizes, they vary quite a bit, from 500MB to well over 1GB.
I doubt whether it’s wise, but KLAXXON even has a weblog with more details about the releases and a requests page where we read:
Please add your requests to the comments section below and klaxxon will try to provide the most popular requests. Please note this will depend on time constraints but klaxxon will endevour to satisfy as many of our loyal fans as possible. Thank you once again for your loyal support.
It looks like KLAXXON enjoys pleasing their “loyal fans” on their way to BitTorrent stardom. A hobby that turns out to be quite risky to some, I’m sure that the anti-pirates already placed their spotlights on this newcomer.

Who said it was recent? I’ve had his page bookmarked for a while from mininova. There are a few I might pick up every once in a while. However, why do you make it seem like this is recent? His uploads go back at least a few months.
Oh, and I think he’s just as good as FXG or RoCK67. TorrentBox is a great site to find rippers, I’ve noticed.
Apart from Klaxxon other good ones are Newartriot, nhanc3, FxG, FxM, Rock67 etc.
They’re forming a nice public release hydra.
As for the 700 mb or 1.4 gb rule, I think it should go away coz noone uses CDs anymore. Its better to use variable sizes depending on movie length so as to maintain a constant quality at small size.
“The only thing thats seems odd are the file sizes, they vary quite a bit, from 500MB to well over 1GB.”
Finally someone that understands that different movies require different file sizes.
“As for the 700 mb or 1.4 gb rule, I think it should go away coz noone uses CDs anymore. Its better to use variable sizes depending on movie length so as to maintain a constant quality at small size.”
I still use CDs. If I’m going to burn a DVD, I’d just get the 4 gig one. I prefer a smaller size so it doesn’t clog up my HDD.
However, I agree that longer movies need a larger file size. As long as his encodes are good, then I can’t see an extra couple MBs being a problem.
Hopefully he’ll be less of a drama queen than that aXXo kid.
Dont know where Truth is getting his torrents from. Klaxxon’s RE Extinction looks very good to me, and I watch 720P trailers on my set up………
The only thing this guy may get busted by the mpa for is butchering quality movies. xD
hopefully he doesn’t have the attitude of a pre-pubescent girl like axxo

I really hope so too, but I doubt it based on his blog page.. he reminds me of someone who talks in 3rd person (If he wrote that). His name is also retarded and reminds me of a 10 year old action nemesis. He seems really focused on being popular, and thats dumb.
The way you get popular is to release good shit and stay in the shadows.
Having said all that, I dont care if you call yourself butt-porker, if you release good stuff thats all that matters, anything that contributes to our P2P scene is welcome. More good dvdrippers out there the better.

Hey, now, watch it…
My Philips DivX DVD player has a limit on what resolution it will play back… If I put a HD or a HiRes rip or cap of something in it, it won’t play. Don’t hate on CDs. No one said you have to put it on a CD. Plus, my ISP hates me enough without adding needlessly to my bandwidth to satisfy some geek with a hard-on for pixels.
I like to bone pixels.. aww.. yeaahh..

Oh, everyone who likes quality must be mocked by you because you don’t like quality!
There are others uploaders, better than this one, taking aXXo’s place =). The “FX”’s, from Mininova are a good example. FXG and FxM are uploading new releases, with great quality. You should do a post for them, to increase their popularity. This way, more people would download from them, and there would be more seeders =)
Cya
What? LMAO. klaxxon?? omfg.
..SHIT RIPS?? YES!!

“Plus, my ISP hates me enough without adding needlessly to my bandwidth to satisfy some geek with a hard-on for pixels.”
Lol, true enough! If we lived in a world where bandwidth is as fast as we were promised years ago, or even as fast as we pay for, we could down an HD movie as fast as a ST movie now; five hours is an acceptable amount of time to spend getting a movie.
Unfortunately, we don’t. We limit ourselves to downloading only what will take a reasonable amount of time (thereby self-capping ourselves) and still the ISPs bitch at us to stop. (Wah, life’s not fair:)
Yeah, given the opportunity (i.e. at least quadruple my current bandwidth) and I’d download HD. But most of us don’t have the luxury of speeds that high.
It would be nice though…
Plenty of good rippers out there. But, sorry to tell you, Klaxxon isn’t one of them. I personally, really like newartriot, and nhanc3…not to mention they use a better format. (x264). Klaxxo is just some kid that wants the same “fame” that aXXo has.
size rules should stay in place. They are in place for those of us smart enough to have a standalone xvid player. I have a $6000 stereo why the fuck would I want to watch a movie on my computer?
I think they should institute a AC3 only rule for all scene releases - 5.1 always if its available. No 2 channel bs to save size. I dont mind burning 2 discs to watch the movie.

what about the people smart enough not to use xvid?

how about… no rules, let the releaser (both p2p and scene) decide what their releases will be like, what formats, etc?
soo whats a good divix player?
yea right!! not even close.
fxg and fxm way better than klaxxon(?)
WTF? It’s a blasphemy to compare this guy with aXXo.
Anyway there are other very decent groups that deliver the goods properly, but not Klaxxon.
AAAROOOOOHAAAAA!
