what does proper mean??

what does proper mean in the file title...

nuked means that there was a problem found with the file. eg. there was bits
missing, the sound is out of sync, it cuts out in sections etc. when a file is
nuked, it indicated that you should not download the file, and there will
usually be a better copy soon available. which usually has proper in the
filename.
so when downloading, always pick a proper above any other.

....means you're a noob.

i can admit it, even i forget things sometimes (quite often actually!!) ☹️
i'm deeply sorry.

but imzadi's right. take propers or repacks. similar sort of thing.
oh.....and you have to learn to ignore twits like fugly man. 🙂

nuked = a release that has some sort of problem, usually video, audio, or size
related.

repack = the scene release group caught their own mistake and released a new
torrent for one they already released, fixing the problem.

proper = a different release group released a torrent, fixing a problem, or not
having it, that the winning release group released.

also look for addition words/combinations like

real.proper = means the proper was also nuked

real.proper.repack = as above



here are some real examples taken from actual .avi files i have


smallville.s07e09.proper.hdtv.xvid-xor.avi

smallville.s07e10.real.proper.hdtv.xvid-notv.avi

smallville.s07e11.repack.proper.hdtv.xvid-2hd.avi

well obviously, i couldn't have said it better myself 😉

so aydin, can we add this post to link & tips, please.

98% correct except for the release group on torrents part. they release (pre)
stuff on private ftp servers which is how nuked and stuff are recognized, then
the rips leak to usenet and torrents by others. you usually dont see a non scene
rip trying to proper a scene rip or other non scene rip.

regarding mean comments from others, i'd say its pretty stupid to make fun of
someone for trying to learn something.

funny man is not trying to aggravate anyone. asking questions like that is
noob-esque in funny man's view, and also, as many people have pointed out to
funny man on numerous occasions, "noob" is not an insult.....so where's the problem?

you have always been fair to funny man, so we will leave it there. funny man
retires to read over the first amendment to the u.s. constitution.

much love to all the funny man fans.

go give yaself all the love you want,


just stay in your own perverted hole

thanks everyone... i'll try not to be a such a noob in the future.

sorry if i contributed to upsetting you aydin, guess i took this a bit too
