“There are lots of potential threats distributed through bittorrent networks and since filesharing became extremely popular one needs to be protected from these threats. The new site VerTor (http://vertor.com), which is short for Verified Torrents, offers a service that provides users with torrent files that made it through an anti-virus scan and some more tests.

Main features of the site are following. Every torrent file is downloaded and checked for viruses and passworded archives. The system also extracts small samples of audio files so that users can be sure they download the right stuff. For videos the engine makes screenshots and puts them with the file. Text information and archive filelists are also extracted and shown. If a user has downloaded a torrent from a different site and wants to check if it is good enough, he can enter the hash of the torrent on a special page. If the torrent was checked by Vertor.com it will tell you whether it is a good one or not and provide you with the information we have available. If the torrent hasn’t been checked then users can upload it and it would be downloaded and verified by the system. The upload feature is now limited to 2 GB files. One nice feature that can be very useful for newbies is the option of downloading from the web. It launches the BitLet online torrent client and users don’t have to download torrent files and load them into various torrent clients on their computers. Last thing worth mentioning is that the site is completely ad-free. It is planned to be so as long as possible.

The overall concept that is implemented by VerTor is unique and has great potential! It contains torrents that are scanned for viruses, checked for protection and text/audio/graphic information is extracted. It is user-friendly as well. Visit Vertor.com and try out this great service!”

Hi everybody,
Tonight it’s a special day for one of my colleague admins.
Sta1ns is having his birthday today and we want to celebrate that.
Post your greets in the comments.

It’s a pleasure to announce our new site affilliate TopBytes.net.
This is a public tracker so everybody can join!
In the future they will become private so join when you still can;-)
We hope that the partnership between the two sites and their members will continue for a very long time.
Please read the rules and Faq when you join them.
Sharing is caring!

Our new forum is now out of the beta proces and open for everyone.
(click on the forum tab to go to the new forum)
We spend some time testing it etc. and should be bug free now.
We decided not to transfer all files from the old forum to start clean over again, just the important ones.
So you can start exchanging invites again, chat about nfo’s, releases etc.
We’re looking into a vip system to but that’s for the future
More other updates will follow soon.

Hello everybody.

As you know we try to post as many releases as possible.
We still miss a number of releases and we want to change that.
So that’s why we send out this shout to see if there are people interested in becoming an editor.
Not everybody can apply though, you’ll need to have some experience and knowledge about the scene and p2p.
It’s fun to do and we always have a good laugh with eachother.
When you’re an editor you get no money but stuff like invites to private trackers etc.
You will need to earn it first though!

If your interested in becoming an editor you can email us here or request a pm with an ~ on our irc channel.
You’ll be interviewed and you’ll need to tell us a bit about yourself befor we decide if you can join our team.
Remember we only take in people who are 18+.
You can mail to scenereleases [@] ymail dot com and we’ll get back to you.

If you think you got other skills that we could use feel free to contact us as well.
We hope to hear from you soon!

Because we all love valentine like the commercial real world out there we wanted to surprise the people online with a special invite giveaway again.

We’re using the same rules as always:
During the evening/night we’ll mention a question in our irc channel.
When you first answer that question correctly you’ll win the invite.
Valentine ftw right? join the invite giveaway contest:-p

Catch you on our irc channel soon,
The Scene Releases staff.

We are proud to officially announce our new irc server and channels.
We have our new irc channel thanks to the guys at TehConnection.eu and P2P-Net.eu.
You can find all the details and info on the IRC tab.
There are a few new channels you can use like a new pre and tracer channel.
So feel free to join and check out all the good stuff!
We still got a few things planned so expect more nice updates soon!

Sta1ns, FruitLoop & Faolanscath.

As you all know, we had a bit of downtime and we’re terribly sorry for that.
We had to switch server immediately because the previous server was failing on us ( probably due to the growing amount of visitors ;) )

This new server is a lot faster, doesn’t have plesk slowing it down, running on the sweet and stable ubuntu, and a quad core cpu.

So again, sorry for any inconvenience and the link issues will be resolved when FruitLoop gets back.
