LzTr signups open – Download soundtracks of movies, TV shows and video games - 1/11/2008

LzTr is a gazelle based private torrent tracker which specialize in OSTs (Original Soundtracks). You can find original soundtracks of many movies, TV shows and video games on this tracker. Some of these torrents are very rare and I found several OSTs on LzTr which were not available even on some of the biggest music trackers.

LzTr is quite new to the BitTorrent scene but that hasn’t prevented the tracker from making rapid progress.  LzTr only had 200 torrents and a little over a 100 members when we first reported about it less than a month ago . But now (1st Nov), LZTr’s user base has rocketed past 1500 and it now tracks nearly 1000 torrents. These gains are impressive for any private tracker – and LzTr was was not even always open for signup in the past month.

As mentioned LzTr was closed for new users in the past two weeks or so. The only way of getting in was via an invite. However the tracker has opened signups for 24 hours ahead of Halloween and new users can use this window to register themselves a free account. Following is quoted from the site:

Please keep in mind that after Halloween, the Freeleech will end. Open registrations will close after 24 hours.

So without wasting any more time, go ahead and check it out.

Tomb Raider Underworld PC Demo – Direct Download

First of all let me tall you that this is NOT the full game. It’s only a Demo (a tryout version of the game with has limited content) which will give you a better idea of how the final release might look like. Once the final release is leaked/released, we will post that too in our PC Games section. (Updated - Leaked 3 days before release) Tomb Raider Underworld is scheduled to be officially released on the 18th of November so there is still time for that.

Coming back to the Demo, I tried it out and it ran smoothly on my ageing nVIDIA Geforce 8600GT which probably means the engine is well optimized. The graphics were simply the best for any Tomb Raider game to come out so far and the gameplay was better with newly added elements such as underwater fighting sequences and so on. Lara’s character model looked like it could do with a few improvements but that’s not me saying the current one looks bad. If you are a die hard fan of the series (like myself) who cannot wait till the final version comes out, download the demo and get a sneak peek of what’s in store for you.

Private Tracker Watch: ‘The Place’ lifestyle torrent tracker signups open

Out of the several thousands private BitTorrent trackers out there, very few specialize in niches such as lifestyle content. The Place.bz is one such private tracker. From Food, Drinking and Cooking to Magic Illusions, this tracker has a wide array of content including videos, e-books and audio files related to day to day human life (See categories for more information). The only other private tracker that I know of which specializes in the same niche is BitSeduce (which is closed at time of this post).

Although the content it tracks it may be rare, ThePlace.BZ is by no means a small tracker. It currently tracks over 11000 torrents and has a user base in excess of 15000; these stats are excellent, specially considering the fact that The Place is a private site. The site is currently in open signup mode which means new members can register without invite codes or any other restrictions. Check it out.

Cinematik Invitation Giveaway – Classic and Rare movies tracker – Get your free invite here

Here is your chance to obtain a free invite to popular private torrent tracker Cinematik (http://cinematik.net – Sister site of Asian DVD Club). Cinematik tracks around 10000 classic movies (including a number of hard to find foreign movies), most of which are very rare and not found on other trackers. As you may have already noticed, Cinematik does not have frequent open signups so the only way in right now is via an invite. Here is the good news : Cinematik is giving away 25 invites to FILEnetworks Blog readers, for FREE.

You only need to post your E-mail address as a comment to this article and the first 25 to post will receive a free invitation to join Cinematic. Note that the invitations are given away by Cinematik administrators themselves so there is no reason to worry about the legitimacy of your account.

Here is a brief description about Cinematik:

"Our mission is to provide cinephiles of classic, independent, rare and outlandish films a friendly location to discuss and share their own interests with current members of this ever-growing community."

We are a ratio-based tracker. It's a purely DVDR (DVD5/DVD9, PAL+NTSC) community, with a lot of rare releases. There are a lot of quality films as far as as classic, cult, foreign and indie go. Once you join you will soon get a feel for what is and isn't allowed on the site by browsing through it.

We do carry a lot of films that were big hits in their day, but you won't find the latest blockbuster flicks here.

We're part of the Golden bandwagon, thanks to our lovely bastard-sister-site AsianDVDClub, with a freeleech Movie of the Week and usually at least a dozen other torrents, picked by staff or suggested by members rotated semi-weekly. All the largest torrents have Silver status - usually big box sets - which is that only 1/2 the downloaded stats are counted.

Go ahead and post your E-Mail address as a comment if you want to obtain a Cinematik invite. This thread will be monitored by Cinematik administrators and you will receive your invitation to the E-mail address you post here. If you manage to get in, please respect the site’s rules and try to be an active member there.

Possible solution for Fallout 3 crashing to desktop at start screen

Two days ago we reported about Fallout 3, the latest installment to the hugely popular Fallout series. I only had little time to play the game so far but it looks like Bethesda have worked their magic once more. Anyway quite a few people seem to be having trouble getting the game to run. Many have reported that Fallout 3 crashes to desktop right after the start screen. If you encounter similar problems, you can try the following method and hopefully it will help you get the game up and running.

Fallout 3 does seem to have a conflict with FFDShow codecs. You have to either uninstall them from your system or add fallout3.exe to FFDShow audio and video decoders exceptions list. Although you may not know it, FFDShow codecs may be present on your system if you have installed codec packs such as CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack).

How to add Fallout 3 to FFDShow decoder exceptions list

1. Launch the ffdshow video decoder configuration window. You may access this through the start menu. If you have installed any codec packs, check the start menu entries of those. If you can’t find it on the start menu, right click the ffdshow video decoder (red) icon that appears on the taskbar when a supported video file is playing, and select ‘ffdshow video decoder’ option from the menu.

2. Tick the ‘Dont use ffdshow in’ checkbox if not already checked

3. Press the edit button that is next to the text field. A new dialog box will pop up. Press the Add button. The ‘Add incompatible executable file’ dialog box will be displayed. Browse to the Fallout 3 installation directory and locate fallout3.exe file. Select it and press open. Close all dialog boxes currently open by pressing ok.
(OR you can simply type fallout3.exe at the end of the text field next to ‘Dont use ffdshow in’ checkbox)

4.  Repeat steps 2-3 in ffdshow audio decoder configuration (the blue icon in taskbar) window as well. It is important that you add fallout3.exe to both ffdshow audio and video decoder’s expections list.

Hopefully the above method solved the fallout 3 crash to desktop problem for you. If the problem persists, try updating your video drivers. I’ve heard that nVIDIA’s ForceWare v180.42 and v180.43 beta drives run well with this game.

Scenemovies and Wunza signups open– Gazelle based movie torrent trackers

We bring you news of two fairly new private torrent trackers with open signups. Scenemovies and Wunza.ws are dedicated movie trackers based on the new Gazelle codebase. Both have made some rapid progress since we first reported about them a while back so here is a little update on these trackers.

Description: Although only a few weeks old, Scenemovies has progressed from a fairly unknown private tracker to a well recognized movie tracker. The site now has a user base of over 3000 members and tracks 1200 torrents which include 1095 movies. Scenemovies allows user uploads and this is definitely one of the factors behind the success of the tracker; This tracker has some great non scene rips and is well worth checking out.

Pirates crack ‘Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3’ (PC) DRM

RELOADED, a veteran group in the warez scene, has done it again. They’ve cracked the DRM in a 2008 EA game for what seems like the billionth time. RELOADED have released a full DVD image of Command & Conquer : Red Alert 3 along with a modified exe that has the SecuROM protection removed. In RELOADED’s release NFO the protection Red Alert 3 uses is listed as Securom+PA+DFE+SDK+ Custom. It would not be wrong to say that the scene (and DarkC0der) is currently raping SecuROM. It did not take RELOADED more than a few hours to crack the DRM after the Clone DVD was leaked. Even scene group SKIDROW who usually release low budget games pre’d their own version of Red Alert 3 (With DRM cracked of course) moments after RELOADED’s release. Not good news for SecuROM devs.

Speaking of the game, Red Alert 3 is of course a highly anticipated title given the popularity of the previous two installments. I have not had a chance to play this game yet but the reviews look positive. This game has a aggregated score of 84% on Gamerankings and IGN gave it 8.2 out of 10. Just like the previous two games in the franchise, there seem to be a lot of high quality video content (60mins of HD video as I hear) in the game. Perhaps this explains the large size (for a strategy game that is) of 6.2GB.

Developer Description

In Red Alert 3, the desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. The time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making World War III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.

Minimum System Requirements

DVD Image (Clone DVD) of ‘Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3’ leaked to BitTorrent trackers

Full DVD images (aka Clone DVD) of EA’s upcoming Real Time Strategy (RTS) game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 have leaked to several BitTorrent trackers. The leaked image (which is around 6.6GB in size) seem to have support for two languages; English and Chinese. There are several other versions floating around in a well known warez forum as well.  As we said before these images seem to be untouched copies of the game and no modified exe (aka crack) is provided. Pirates who download the clone will not be able to play the game as it is protected by SecuROM DRM.

The SecuROM DRM however will not hold off pirates forever. EA has embedded SecuROM 7.1 in all of their recent PC titles and every single one of them was cracked either by a group from the warez scene such as RELOADED or by non scene individuals such as Darkc0der. As it stands now it will only be a matter of time a modified exe (that has the SecuROM protection removed) will be released for the game.

According to comments on most gaming forums, it was not only pirates who used these fixed exes for previous EA titles such as Spore. Even those who owned legitimate copies of the game seemed to prefer cracked exes over SecuROM protected files. EA’s decision to embed restrictive DRM into their PC titles perhaps caused more bad than good and it will be interesting to see their next move..

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009

Over time Nero has become bloated and is no more the simple and lightweight burning software it used to be. Here is a good alternative to those who hate newer versions of Nero.  Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009 is the latest version of Ashampoo’s CD/DVD (and now Blu-Ray) burning suite. This software can perform all standard burning tasks such as CD/DVD/Blu-Ray burning, backup, music ripping/burning and drive image creation. The best part is that Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009 is a very compact (the installer is only 20MB) and lightweight suite which does not consume half your system resources or install several dozen unwanted apps on your system. Check it out!

Developer Description

Does your burning software do everything but you can’t find anything? Did installing it take up several gigabytes of hard drive space and fill up your Taskbar? Ashampoo Burning Studio 8 is different. It's compact, fast and amazingly easy to use. You just choose from a list of tasks and the software guides you through every step. And even though it has all the functions you would expect from a complete burning suite, the entire software takes up less than 85 megabytes on your hard disk.

Features:

• Burn and update data discs
• Back up your data to single or multiple discs
• Rip and burn music
• Burn movies and photos to DVDs and data discs
• Copy CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs

Spyware Doctor v6.0.0.385

Spyware Doctor is a decent Antispyware application from the creators of Registry Mechanic. It has all the basic features of an antispyware app such as real time protection, manual scans, disinfection, automatic updates and more. All of these features are integrated with a user friendly interface which makes this application an ideal one for both novice and power users alike. I would suggest you combine this app with another security product such as Kaspersky Anti-Virus for maximum protection (Leave automatic scanning to Kaspersky and run a Spyware Doctor scan perhaps once a week).

Developer Description

Torrent-Damage (TD) signups open – User limit increased to 50000

One of the best private torrent trackers out there, Torrent-Damage.net (TD) is currently open for signup. The site’s user limit which was capped at 40000 seem to have been raised to 50000, providing space for new members.

Torrent-Damage is without a doubt one of the best 0Day/General trackers currently online. Great pre times, kick ass download speeds, excellent content; that’s TD for you. Currently there are 41000+ registered users and 26000+ torrents on this tracker. These stats are excellent by any means, and don’t forget that TD is a private tracker. Torrent-Damage has a requests feature where members can request uploads not available on the tracker via the site’s forums. The only con we found with this tracker is that it has somewhat of an awkward interface (some may disagree). But that’s not an issue if you are looking to download latest (and old) scene and p2p movie, music, games, TV series releases at blazing speeds as TD will provide you just that.

As we said before Torrent-Damage tends to close signups very quickly. Things may be different this time around as they seem to have raised the site’s user limit from 40000 to 50000. We don’t know if signups will be open till this user limit is reached (if they will that means there are around 9000 spots left) so to be on the safe side register an account ASAP. When the site is closed the only way in is by providing a ticket number obtained from an existing member. You can discard the ticket number field and leave it blank during open signup periods such as this. Go get it!

James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace (PC) leaked before official release

We’re talking about the Quantum of Solace video game here (not the upcoming movie). The PC version of the game has leaked to internet two days before the EU release date and around 6 days before the NA (North American) release. As usual, RELOADED, a group in the warez scene is behind the leak. Quantum of Solace uses a custom version of Safedisk 4.9 protection coupled with zeehole. RELOADED have released a modified exe which has the copy protection features removed and it can be used to play pirated and legitimate backup copies of the game. RELOADED have cracked the latest versions of almost all major copy protection systems such as SecuRom, SafeDisk and TAGES. 

Speaking of the game, one thing that caught my eye was that it uses a customized version of Call of Duty 4 engine. There are currently no reviews of the game so I don’t know how it actually is but from the previews and screenshots it looks like a damn fun game.

BTW there was a time during which no single good game was released and now all of the sudden there is this flood of hit titles. Red Alert 3 and GTA 4 (PC) are still to be released. Good times :)

Developer Description

James Bond is back to settle the score in Quantum of Solace: The Game. Introducing a more lethal and cunningly efficient Bond, the game blends intense first-person action with a unique third-person cover combat system that allows players to truly feel what it is like to be the ultimate secret agent as they use their stealth, precision shooting and lethal combat skills to progress through missions.

Seamlessly blending the heart-pounding action and excitement of the upcoming Quantum of Solace feature film with the Casino Royale movie, the title propels players into the cinematic experience of international espionage. Based on the renowned Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare game engine that has been specifically engineered to immerse players in the Bond universe, Quantum of Solace: The Game delivers superior high-definition graphics, reactive AI and visually stunning locations inspired by locales portrayed in the films.

Pirates crack Fallout 3 (English) DRM

Pirates have cracked the SecuROM DRM that comes embedded with North American version of highly anticipated Fallout 3. Fallout 3 used a somewhat less intrusive version of SecuROM, a DRM system that has been highly criticized by gamers across the world. Fallout 3 however does not use the controversial and restrictive version of SecuROM which requires online activation. Instead, it uses a version of SecuROM which is bundled with the game’s installer and which only has a DVD check.

Group responsible for cracking SecuROM in Fallout 3 are once again RELOADED who have cracked several other SecuROM protected games released this month. Fallout 3 was susceptible for leaks from the beginning and the XBOX360 version of the game got leaked some 2 weeks before street date. DVD Images (Clone DVDs) of the PC Version got leaked several days before official release as well. The size of RELOADED’s release is around 5.5GB, which is around 2.5GB smaller than the Russian/English Clone (7.9GB) leaked earlier.

Fallout 3 definitely looks like one of the best games to be released in 2008 (if the reviews I read about this game are not lies that is). I’ve never seen an IGN review speak so positively about a game in quite a while. Currently the game has aggregated scores of 92% (XBOX360), 90% (PC) and 89% (PS3) on Gamerankings. 

Developer Description

Vault 101 - Jewel of the Wastes. For 200 years, Vault 101 has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons
unknown. Leaving the only home youve ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.

TorrentLeech (TL) captcha

I don’t know if anyone noticed this but you don’t actually need to fill the captcha while logging into TorrentLeech (TL). Whether this is intentional on the part of TL’s admins or if this is simply a site bug remains to be seen. Whatever it is, you can type username, password, leave the captcha field blank and still log into the tracker.

 

I only found this out yesterday after being a member there for ages. Kind of feel bad for the wasted text strings I inputted all this time :P

Pirates crack ‘Spiderman : Web of Shadows’ (PC) copy protection

A short while ago we reported that a Clone DVD image of Spiderman : Web of Shadows got leaked by scene group PROCYON. It did not take RELOADED, another veteran groups in the warez scene, to develop a modified executable with the Safedisk copy protection removed. With RELOADED’s release, pirates (or legitimate gamers who use the modified exe) no longer need to have the Clone DVD image mounted in a drive emulation tool. The release has already made its way to Usenet newsgroups as well as private BitTorrent trackers and will soon spread to public trackers and one click hosting sites as usual.

Developer Description

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows immerse players in an all-new
action-adventure saga that gives them unprecedented control,
never before seen in a Spider-Man game. Armed throughout the
battle and confronted by an unrecognizable New York City,
players choose to play as a heroic web-slinger or a volatile,
destructive anti-hero, fighting with or against a vast number
of fan-favorite Marvel heroes and villains, switching instantly
between sides, and deciding which missions to undertake to save
mankind. An all-new combat system combines web slinging and
customizable superpowers to give gamers the freedom to fight and
explore in a free-roaming, open-ended environment. Battles blend
Spider-Man's speed and agility with the landscape, challenging
players to master fast moving acrobatic combat, powerful new
web-slinging moves and destructive combo attacks, as they take
the fight from the streets, up the sides of buildings and onto
rooftops.

Minimum System Requirements

• OS: Windows XP/Vista
• Processor: Pentium 4 @ 2.8 GHz/Athlon 2800+
• Memory: 1 GB/1.5 GB for Vista
• Hard Drive: 6.6 GB Free
• Video Memory: 256 MB (nVidia GeForce 7300 GT)
• Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
• DirectX: 9.0c
• Keyboard & Mouse
• DVD Rom Drive

Clone DVD of ‘Spider Man : Web of Shadows’ (PC) leaked

They keep on coming don’t they? A Clone DVD of Spider Man : Web of Shadows (PC) got leaked a short while ago. Scene group PROCYON were responsible for the leak. This release being a Clone DVD, does not include any modified executables that bypass or crack the copy protection embedded in the game (This game uses the Safedisk copy protection system). However the image can be mounted on a drive emulation tool such as Daemon Tools and the game can be played as long as the user has the image mounted on their system.

Speaking of the game, I sincerely hope Web of Shadows will be a good title as most Spiderman games for the PC (except Ultimate Spiderman) sucked big time. XBOX360 version of the game has received a rating of 72% on Gamerankings and PS3 version has received a rating of 77%. This may actually be worth checking out, if a similar score holds for the PC as well.

bitGAMER signups open – Download PC/XBOX360/PS3/PS2/XBOX and other games torrents

bitGAMER, a popular dedicated games torrent tracker, has just opened signups for new members. This tracker will be a good alternative to those who lost their accounts at Blackcats-Games recently. bitGAMER will not be quite the same as BCG but it definitely is an ideal tracker to have, specially during these times when a lot of great games are being released. It is also an excellent games tracker to have for any gamer who uses BitTorrent to download games.

bitGAMER indexes PC games, Console games, games for handheld devices, hacks, tools, mods, game guides and everything else that is related to electronic gaming. Currently there are close to 4000 torrents indexed and tracked by bitGAMER and the site has a user base of around 15000 members. The only con I found with this tracker is that bitGAMER does not index game rips by skullptura and the likes. But then again very few private trackers index those rips.

This tracker is usually closed for new signups and the only way to get in during these times is through an invitation code. During open signup periods such as now, new users are able to create accounts without having to provide an invite code. We don’t know for how long they will stay open but it will be a good idea to grab an account ASAP; It’s not everyday you see an open signups at bitGAMER.

They recently lost their old URL (www.fullcontactzone.net) but are now back online and the site is now accessible via the new URL http://www.fulcontactzone.tv. FCZ torrent index seem to have got reset in the process and currently there are only around 200 torrents. That should not bother you as there is a steady flow of great MMA/UFC and other content being added to the site daily.

The site is currently open for signup and interested readers may join for free during the open signup period.

Clone DVD of Fallout 3 leaked before official release

A DVD image of highly anticipated Fallout 3 has leaked to internet about a day before the game’s official North American release date. The image, which weighs around 5.5GB, has already made its way to an extremely popular semi-private BitTorrent tracker and will most likely spread to other trackers as well as to one click hosting sites across the world. As with most Clone DVDs, this release does not include a modified exe with copy protection removed (aka crack) but does include a seemingly untouched image of the game DVD.

Although Bethseda hinted that the game will be DRM free, it does not appear that way. SecuROM DRM seems to be bundled with the install process of the game (which is similar to that of Oblivion’s) but in a much less intrusive scale than other DRM enabled games such as Spore or Mass Effect. Perhaps Bethseda had a change of heart when the XBOX360 version of Fallout 3 leaked around two weeks before the release date :p

The inclusion of DRM however means that pirates who download the Clone DVD will not be able to play the game unless a scene group such as RZR, RLD, VTY or an individual such as DarkC0der releases a fix that removes the protection.

Check the quality of movie before you download + find movie trailers, subtitles and CD/DVD covers using VCD Quality

Suddenly remembered this when I posted the last movie release a while ago. This post will mostly apply to those who use public BitTorrent trackers to download movies. As you may have already found out, public bittorrent trackers are full of fakes and mislabeled releases (I.e. – On the title it says DVDRip but it turns out to be a crappy CAM). So how can you check the quality of a movie before you actually download it?

First (of course most of you already know this), you can look for the sample.avi file which is included in most scene releases. This is a small file (10-15MB file size) which contains a video sample of the movie being downloaded. You can give high priority to this file using you BT client, download it and watch the quality before you download the entire movie.

But what if the release does not contain a sample.avi file? It’s simple; you can check for screen caps of the release on VCD Quality. 

VCD Quality is a site which indexes latest movie leases both by scene groups and p2p groups. Not only does it index the latest releases but also includes the release .NFO, screen captures from the release (JPG button next to a release name), any nuke information (yellow biohazard icon next to a release name), user comments and user ratings on video, audio and movie itself. As a bonus VCD Quality lists generated search strings you can use to search for movie subtitles (from opensubtitles.org), CD/DVD covers (from cdcovers.cc) and IMDB links for movie ratings and movie trailers as well. As you can see it gives you a lot of information on the movie and the release not available on most public torrent sites so check it out.

R5 rip of ‘Burn After Reading’ leaked

An R5 rip of popular movie Burn After Reading has leaked to internet. Veteran scene group PUKKA is behind the leak. PUKKA have obtained the video source from an R5 (DVD for region 5), and replaced the Russian audio with an English audio stream from previous TS release. The rip is a standard 1CD (700MB) rip and you can see screens and other information from this link.

I have not watch this movie yet but it has a star studded cast including Brad Pitt and George Clooney. The movie has a decent score of 7.8 on IMDB. 

Burn After Reading is a 2008 black comedy film written, produced and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. The film stars John Malkovich, George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt. It was released in the USA on September 12, 2008 and it was released on October 17, 2008 in the UK. The R-rated film had its premiere on August 27, 2008 when it opened the 2008 Venice Film Festival. The film is the brothers' first to follow their Academy Award winning Best Picture, No Country for Old Men.
