I was contemplating buying a 360 to play the exclusives that aren't available on PS3/PC, but I noticed that the usual places where I get torrents don't host 360 games anymore.

It may be just a coincidence, cause the places where I usually go to I still find plenty of torrents, anyhow the best copies are always backups of your own games.

stickyz - Please don't bang your head on the EXIT sign on the way out. It's not spelt in text speak so don't blame me if you couldn't read it.
edit- i didn't think you'd find it, judging by this appalling effort, in fact it's even worse and some of the worst text speak abuse i'd ever come across ~ http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/785572/4756896
The thread can continue now that the incoherence has been chucked in the bin.
Edited for spelling, have banned self.

I don't use it personally. I just posted the top 100 from TPB because it is commonly known and the most obvious place that someone without a private account would look at first.

Have never used BlackCats. I always liked Demonoid because when a game comes out, usually there is somebody that makes a backup from their own personal original rather than the Team Releases you see on every torrent site.

Find a membership to any good scene tracker whether it be SCC, SCT, Torrentleech, or if your lucky GFT (my personal fav). And have your 360 games minutes after they pre.
Any game released ends up a scene release, ususally a few days before release. It's what the warez scene competes over.
If you have a decent upload speed or a seedbox using torrents is much more rewarding than subbing to a newsgroups service.
Blackcats is great for older stuff and with the seed point system and cross seeding scene releases it's nobody's fault but yourself if you get banned.

You probably broke a rule because that is not a reason to get IP banned.

On my very first torrent from them I got put into kitty litter. Even though after the torrent FINISHED downloading I had a ratio over 1.0. It managed to dip to .40 WHILE it was downloading. I could then no longer download anything for 2 weeks after that.
But it eventually sorted itself out and gave me back USER status. Too many rules over there but it's great for what it is.

After the torrent has finished you were supposed to stop the torrent for 30 minutes and then start it again to refresh the tables on the site.
