> do you really need to download full blu-ray discs though? a 1080p rip is only 10-13gb depending on length of movie. animated movies don’t usually top 5gb. i just download rips, and usually only 720p cause my computer doesnt like to play 1080p. i don’t care about a full disc, i don’t have a blu-ray burner, i don’t need menus i just want the movie.

Depends on the RIP… some rips look 100% great, some other people use codecs that compress the video to much when they convert them and looks like shit.

Regardless for me its just the fact that I love the reliability of Newsgroups. Many private torrent sites are very reliable, but sometimes its just nice to download a movie and be done. Have to keep a good seeding ration as most private sites require sucks dick sometimes when I want to use my comp and play a game and im lagging like a bitch because im upoading to people.
