VonRicht's Torrents

[RodneyYouPlonker]

I just want to say that I've noticed this morning that if you click on his name to show his latest torrents that something has messed up somehow and you can only view now all the letter Z torrents lol

If you click on my name, mine seems fine and it's not doing anything like that it just seems normal.  When you click on somebody's name it usually shows the latest torrents that they have uploaded and I've noticed that VonRicht has gone and uploaded a load of stuff since the other day but non of that is showing up and I find that quite funny really.

I'm just glad that it's not happened to me I guess but for those who click on usernames so they can view their shares this seems to have affected VonRicht so I bet he's annoyed about that lol

Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong section, I thought I'd post this in General Discussion but if this is wrong then please Mr Mod move it to the correct sub section, many thanks.

It does annoy me with VonRicht really because he always goes and uploads stuff before I do and from what I understand he just downloads other people's torrents and then claims that he has ripped them himself which I don't believe at all I believe he is telling a few porkies there.

It's annoying cos just before I'm about to release a new movie torrent he goes and uploads the same movie and then seems to get loads of downloaders, why exactly these people download off him I don't know really as these aren't geniune movie rips they are just remuxes that have been downloaded from places like rutracker.org and then he goes and encodes them but doesn't really know what he's doing.  I've seen his torrents before, leaves all the black bars on the encode, doesn't source them from discs properly, some have playback issues.  Why people choose to download off this person I really have no idea it is beyond me that one lol

I was told to be nice about all this a while ago and not to have a dig at him, he is the only one really that compares to my quality anyway cos nobody else manages to upload as good as the quality that I do, he's the only one that gets near but he doesn't have the magic settings like I use lol

It does annoy me with VonRicht ... I believe he is telling a few porkies there.
... just remuxes that have been downloaded from places like rutracker.org ...  Why people choose to download ...

Porkies? This guy's cramping my style. But besides that, if he remakes stuff and results are popular, then he's in the right track, like politicians - People aren't really into the details (that's the Devil's business), so anything reasonable by their standards is good to go. And if he takes credit for others' ripping and uploading, well, a "pirate that steals from pirates deserves a hundred years pardon" - Confucius, master of Chinese scams.

May I suggest you do double releases, like one movie in your gold standard and a second torrent in a smaller (faster to download) option? It sucks to prepare and release two torrents for the same thing, but it can be the answer to your prayers. Also consider that if VonRitch is releasing material based on Rutracker's releases, it's not him that beats you, but someone using Rutracker. He's just taking advantage the guys in RU can't encode and seed fast enough. His game is stalk-and-sprint, like the cheeta. Yours is more like elephant hunting, but you can easily adapt to a bear or even deer profile, if you so desire.

In other words: Play his game too.

Well the thing is though that Russian Trackers are well known for getting their hands on all the latest stuff.  I've known about that for years now but I'm not exactly going to go out of my way to go and download their stuff.  To start with there's dozens of russian soundtracks on there which are useless to me and I'd have to strip them all away, takes time really, maybe this works for VonRicht.  I'm not in the habit of doing this and just sourcing from Pirates I source from Retail sources only so I can achieve the best quality going.  You won't usually get the best source from Pirates anyway cause a lot of the time people do things wrong and glitches result in the final quality, different machines are used some not always as good.  Some are poor methods that are also used, the Russians are good but they just get their hands on these things early.  They're not usually that great in comparison.  You won't beat full retail quality and that's just how it is, in most cases these releases are not brought out officially for some time.  VonRicht on the other hand thinks he's being clever just  because he releases something prior to release date.  It's not clever at all, just more like showing off "I'm going to release this before you" kind of thing.  To him it's all some sort of race really.  "Let's see how many Russian Remuxes I can download today".  "If the quality isn't that great then who cares, if there's corruption happening on my hard drives today, then who cares anyway?" sort of thing.  There's no rushing when it comes to proper quality and not even the Russians will achieve that.  The proper quality comes from careful planned good high quality ripping from official source material.  Good standards that are controlled within a certain time space.  Not really to literally race ahead.  "I can do 15 movie rips today cause I'm that damn good lol".

Just sounds like the idiots way to share if you ask me...

Extremes aside, it's an idiots' world. We can join politux's genocide plans or gh0ster's suicide attempts, but not much else to do but settle with what we have. Maybe you should upload to private sites, some require quality and even delete duplicates/copycats.

You're right there, there's plenty of idiots on the road these days.  I see them all the time, terrible driving these days no wonder there's so many accidents.

People get so damn near and don't watch what they're doing, it's a wonder that they are even given driving licenses, surprised they can even learn to drive anyway.

Driving around these days you gotta really watch what you're doing and if not then you're sure to get hit by some knobhead.  Happens every day, I'm always really careful and try and keep away from other drivers.  Most people are okay but you always get the odd one or two that speed and get too near you behind.

That sounds boring. Around here I grew up driving like a crazy ass, I mean really extreme maneuvers in the middle of the traffic packs.
It's kinda like the torrent environment: Stay sharp, predict, adapt, overcome. And avoid the suit guys.

You mean in other words use a VPN? lol

To be honest you wouldn't get away with that here where I live.  In my country now you just go 1 mile per hour over the speed limit and they'll either pull you over or some camera will flash you and then the next thing you'll get a letter in the post telling you to pay up.  I'm very careful these days I always stay within the speed limit exactly.  If I see myself going over I always hit the brakes, it's just not worth it really, terrible laws have brought all this on now and there's nothing you can do about it.  The police have lots of power and if they want to stop you, they will, if you drive like a crazy ass here you wouldn't last five minute you'd probably be breathalyzed and asked how many you've had today kind of thing sir?

[dueda]

Use anything you can and see fit. Here I use nothing, as I drive any way I want - There're no copyright trolls, no police cruisers; no one cares about piracy with rare exceptions (mostly mass media distributors using multiple hardware duplicators), few departments can afford cops, and fines are so cheap the only deterrent is having your license suspended after recurring fines, but that won't happen because cops will take a little $20 bribe to look other way or just delete records.

[RodneyYouPlonker]

Seeding is very much the same really.  I don't know about other people as I'm not them but one thing I can tell you about me is that I have a very fast setup and I seed loads and loads all the time, it's quite huge really what I do but like Traffic on the roads, it's just the same for me, maybe not like in your country but here where I do my seeding from we have to follow the speed limits just the same.  If you don't follow the speed limits of seeding and you break the rules then you'll just get cut off for a while until you eventually do something about it and regulate it.  Going too fast and over speeding in the torrent game is sure to bring you to a firm halt eventually.  It's okay being able to seed but there's a great amount of responsibility involved to make sure you don't use more bandwidth than you're supposed to.  It's only fair for the people who are in charge of all the networks and also if you don't play by their rules they will just shape you completely simple as that until you conform to them.

Road traffic rules here and seeding rules are very much in the same boat, you don't get a choice.  Like I said my speeds are very fast and I'm happy with what I've got, I couldn't go any faster if I wanted to.  It's more than enough for my needs.  I tend to base my shares around Franchise shares, more interesting that way.  The single movie game is a bit dull in my eyes.  One day things might change for the better, at the moment it's 2018 and I don't know what the future might bring, bigger better seeding, faster speeds and more affordable prices.  Who knows really technology is a funny one

I've not wanted to say anything for a while now about VonRicht but it seems that I've heard things a while ago from certain sources when I used to be over at Demonoid (before it got shut down) and I've heard lots of things about VonRicht which did quite amuse me for some time.  The funny thing about it all is that I've heard he likes to play around with his torrents and for example I mean he likes to mess around and make up fake accounts and use names like random ones and just goes around on his torrents posting random comments over and over.  I heard that he likes to do this all the time as he believes that he's making his torrents seem more popular and this has been going on for quite a number of years now.  It all started ages ago and I heard that he was making up fake account names and he was posting or should I say spamming fake comments all over his torrents to make people think that multiple people were all sending messages at the same time but infact all he was doing was sat there talking to himself a lot.  Like playing mind games and posting up multiple comments over certain torrents and pretending to be different users.

I've heard that he's done this now for such a long time he has got used to this now and he does it on a regular basis, posts up in different accounts while using different VPN servers to make it seem like people from different countries are posting.  He spam posts over and over the same sort of things so he can make it appear that people are asking for seeds all the time but infact what he's doing is clever as he's trying to draw attention to himself more so he can get people to actually seed stuff where as most people aren't bothered because it is public trackers and a lot the time people just tend to download it and then delete it or just download and then delete after they've watched it.  I think he knows what he's doing and it's funny as well cos he tends to post up comments over and over to drum up more and more fake popularity on his shares.  I think it seems to work as well, people actually think that there's lots of people all discussing things and even real people join in sometimes, it's all a bit like a puppet show really.  He gets some kind of kick from putting on a show with his fake sock puppet accounts.  I've heard of this being done before on the internet and I guess it is quite common with some people.  Just anything to try and drum up some more popularity, saying how great these torrents are and posting up messages complimenting himself over and over.

I know that VonRicht has been around for quite a few years so maybe he just gets bored and does all this to entertain himself.  I know that in the past I've had a few nasty comments from some of his fake accounts and even posted on some of my torrents as well, trying to put people off etc..  I know he has gone on sites like Demonoid for years and spam posted messages over and over to try and promote that he shares his movie rips with black bars because this is the norm and it's the correct method.  It's funny how everybody else in the torrent world don't include the black bars but with him he spambots messages over and over trying to convince people that not having black bars on movie rips is a really bad idea, something which he has promoted himself over a period of time.  I don't know why he does this as I believe he gets some kind of personal kick from going around telling people that movies should have black bars included.  I used to see all the spam posts over at Demonoid and he was literally just posting them on every single torrent that he made.

You know that I've never really known anybody in the torrent game to be like this as I've never seen a person like VonRicht before but it's made me think a lot of things.  I guess having fake conversations with yourself on a regular basis and making up fake accounts on places like Demonoid it has made me wonder.  I've had a few private messages now at places like Demonoid before and I believe that it's him sometimes and he's been trying to find out who I am and trying to trick me into having fake friendships with him and sending me pictures and also asking me personal questions about my encoding.  It's funny these accounts so to speak have been removed after when I've refused to give my secrets away.  Funny how these people are there one minute and then the accounts get deleted.  I know there was this mystery one for a while and he was trying to be my friend for quite some time and asking me personal things wanting to find out who I was and also asking me if they could send me blu rays and things and also saying they'd get me to copy them if I don't mind.  All a bit funny really the whole thing, one minute they are there next minute they are gone.

I know about all this stuff cos I've seen it happen over at another site I was at years ago and this guy was pretending to be load of different people at the same time so I've kind of caught onto his games.  You can really tell when the posts keep repeating over and over for months.  I think he tends to use a few accounts for a while and then abandons them and creates a load of new ones then so that people fall for it.  I guess at the end of the day I've just gotta laugh at all that really because I've never done anything like make up accounts and post fake comments.  I don't have time for all that I'm always busy doing things and working all the time so really I have no time for mind games like VonRicht and plus it takes me ages as well to make torrents and I get tired eventually with all the work that's involved so it takes it out of me.  Only so much time to spend doing things on the net and also with all the other things that life requires it's lucky I have the time to spend doing what I do at the moment.

Oh my, Rodney, you should be a real fast typist...

Some people get kicks on weird stuff; those aren't harmful per se, but don't actually help the whole nor the individuals. What can we do but hunt them down and lock them away, or install control devices and spend resources monitoring and rehabilitating them? Guess the world wastes too much pretending to be good and right but doesn't take sound steps to actually be, or at least improve.

It all leads to suicide or genocide, guess I'll have to make up my mind because dissenters will be everywhere forever.
