Sad news indeed for those who enjoy browsing automated scene-to-direct download links – NewSceneFiles has recently announced they’ve closed the service. After 7½ months and more than 56,000 releases, NSF quickly became became a popular replacement for SceneDDL/XLDR in amongst the scene-DDL circuit. All is not lost, however – there’s another automated DDL site that [...]
The brand-new better comment link extractor userscript is a slight (but mighty) variation of the recently updated ‘comment link extractor‘ script. Intended for those who frequently visit scene/release blogs, BCLE works by adding a yellow "Download Links" bar underneath each blog post in which filehoster direct download links posted in the comments are made easily [...]
It’s rare that we’ll go out of our way to review new "P2P" programs, but Gygan is definitely a filesharing application worthy of a closer inspection.

Release blogs, warez forums and DDL indexers have certainly captured a wide audience for those who seek out scene/P2P releases found on filehosters.
