Can BxT also be bad for fansub groups and their releases?

<< < (2/5) > >>

Xanthic:
1. BxT has the best seeded and constantly reseeded by request around out of most other torrent sites, so your argument of dead torrents doesn't make sense since better and longer seeded torrents are being created.
2. It's easier to search and dl/seed things if they are all in one place, instead of billions of different sites to keep track of for each different sub group out there.
3. It's easier to seed things re-packed into complete torrents instead of 26 individual episodes, like already said.
4. If batch torrents keep popping up why should sub groups even care as long as they still have their original bot seeds for the individual files on their own site? It saves them the trouble imo.
5. It takes pressure of the bandwidth of sub group bots so the can concentrate on new individual releases.

BxT is still public.Anyone can download from here.It's the features that are not available(like search)for those that are not registered.Also,BxT has a thing that only let's power users download for the first 12-48 hours(it depends on the size of the torrent,me thinks) thus making it more attractive to those that like to seed.
If the groups want to keep their releases only on their tracker then it's their choice and they should ask the people here not to allow anyone to upload their stuff.Problem solved.
I do understand why some groups would not like box. I've often seen  an offer being turned down because:We'll wait for group X .Also,BxT is known to have old torrents that are seeded.Why bother trying to get the release from their tracker and seeding after that?(thus BxT being the culprit).And maybe some groups don't like to have their torrents batched with other groups.
Meah,I'm noob to the "scene" and frankly I don't really care about it much.All I care about is getting my anime and Boxtorrents is the best place for that.

Personally Box may be exclusive on what content it lets on the site but it is for our benefit.  Not only that I find it a lot more inviting and useful that almost any other Torrent tracker out there that's not a pay site.  Here are a few reasons off the top of my head why Box doesn't discourage Torrents but actually encourages torrenting and places itself at a higher level than other sites.

1. Multiple copies of the same series with different Groups does not help leechers.  if you have 3 fansub versions up, you may get 8 Seeders per Torrent, instead with one copy now you have 24 seeders for the torrent, which keeps the health of a torrent up.

2. BxT isn't just a torrently site, but an Anime/Manga Community.  Users genuinely enjoy the content on Box, and are more than happy to assist others with seeds, information, identification, and proliferating the community.  There are not many places out there like it.

3. BxT is a public tracker, anyone can download from it, but if one really enjoys the content and wishes to be able to download whatever, they are encouraged to join for FREE!

4. If you want parts of a series, you can always download individual pieces.  So if you want to go episode by episode, all you have to do is download them one by one.  It isn't that difficult.

5. The Admins and Moderators are very active on the site and you can tell that they enjoy working with and contributing to the community, not just Regulating like other sites.

This.  The community has a stake in seeding these torrents and keeping them alive.  This is why private bittorrent sites were made in the first place.

mgz:
i think the only remotely valid point they try to bring up is that their torrents are repacked and listed elsewhere and dont have files listed on their own trackers.

But with as many fansub groups that die or change tracker locations quite regularly every point they possibly made they made a counter point for which is that offers on sites like this are packed for quality assurance. If they are so against their subs being made into batch torrents then they should try releasing the same batch torrents on their trackers themselves and stop crying.


PS - only site i can think of off hand with similar or better download speeds and uploaders is what.cd and thats because its sooooooooooo hard to upload there ppl just constantly seed like maniacs
