Is it just me

[hearthrob]

me as well,
the last time i logged into my trackers was 4+ days ago, gotta check them now..
Also i'm not downloading anymore, I used to feel "power" by downloading EVERYTHING and i've wasted quite a lot of time to get into SCC/SCT which was for nothing..

now I just download what i _really_ need

@cheatos - do you mean SCC is like nothing much to download or over hype?

also generally the warez scene is at its lowest activity level around june to august and around march-april . The Warez season generally is at its peak around September to January .

@crystal - is there any particular reason for this phenomenon?

Well for me, its same as you guys in this "down-hill ride" just that the stats are different. Although I used to be downloading 1TB+ a month but now its only around 200GB+..... I'll get there eventually to be downloading nothing at all.... trust me, I will.

And when I really get there one day, I'll definitely feel bad about it cos trackers out there rely on people like me for their "tracker's activeness"...imagine one day every p2p-ers felt like you are now what will happen?

Hey isnt this similar to this?

Although for fun but there is truth to it

[shadowww]

Laziness. My biggest vice.

It's not just you. You're maturing and realising you don't want to spend 24/7 watching tv shows or movies or playing games and whatever. Well that's my reason anyway. Perfectly normal ^^

same here ... i have still 300GB+ movies, videos, music i havent watched / listened.
or
may be my 750Gb HD is out of space, so no space to download more nor i want to delete my old stuffs..

Well, downloading can be very time consuming, and variably rewarding. It will be natural that you first found a great reward in finding those movies, series or music you wanted, but as time passes, you will eventually run out of good stuff to download, and that pesky task of sustaining ratios, cheating, backing up, cleaning your hd, etc; will seem bigger than the reward you initially perceived.
Turned into an analogy, imagine you pay more and more each month for a connection that gets slower and slower; eventually, you will get tired and go play Chin Chon with your Aunt
I personally get tired too, but I just have to use P2P because I do not want to be ripped off by the cable company, so I download all of the series I like.

Is not just you all, mate. I'm bored atm too but not just pure boredom, it's more like too busy to check what worth to download especially if you have work to do even if it's just homework.

PS. I wish I could afford to buy tower or NAS to store/archive downloaded stuff without bother to delete/move to DVD

its easy to note this trend since many of the popular games and movies do release around Sept to Jan which coincides with many festivals around the world and hence more content available , more piracy , more activity .

I think it's a bit hyped, yes. Sure, lightning-fast speeds, amazing pretimes, freeleech packs, etc., but for me someone that doesn't care about that, IPT for example is probably just as good, not to mention it tracks P2P releases, which SCC doesn't.

Isn't SCC just have Music section that's freeleech not for pack? I don't have it so I ask. Anyway, cheatos, if you think you're bored of SCC you can do some giving to me Let's me see .

[anon]

It has two freeleech sections: MP3/0DAY (spam) and the archive (packs).

[Donatas]

I feel like I get into a similar position every now and again. It's normal, you're just being over-saturated with media, take some time off, and in 2 or 3 weeks come back and just revel in the old desire to watch everything.

[Blocker]

It's true

the same happened to me recently

That's why Now I just keep 6 tracker accounts

Only my favourites

As for movies I switched from downloading to streaming since the download speed it faster and lots of video sites have HD streaming. As for programs, I make music and I downloaded all the music making software and now I only use a few. It's better to know a few programs at their best then a lot minimally. We have lives and it can't always be on the computer.

Less is more.

if you're a DJ, shouldn't you be having at least licenses for your tools and official music when you go out and play?

Who said that he's a DJ, he just said he love to mix music not official licensed DJ, sazzy.
