is there a site that hosts iso ripkits and updates on a regular basis?

sites like this always pop up occasionally but are usually shut down withing weeks, the esayest way to obtain iso's is using torrents or p2p software. You can look on sites such as This and use torrent readers such as bit torrent (PC) tomato torrent (mac)



Note i did not actually post any illegal content because he will have to find that himself

i know what torrents are and how to download them (although i prefer warez...) btw utorrent is best for pc...

i was asking about ripkits. you know like .bat files that run command prompt and rip out/ re link audio, video, and extra languages to make an iso smaller.

i used to get them from ps3news, but they dont update them anymore...

1/6 of the original size. But usually just 1/3.

Ya i would rather use a Ripkit than a CSO because CSO's seem to run worse.

:roll: oh i guess you guys have never even heard of them.

they can rip out alot. on vice city, i made a full iso ~750megs by ripping out the radiostations. and there is a rip of god of war that is only like 400 megs, but thats without video.

so depending what it rips out, it can be over 50% smaller.

I used one for Wipeout Pure, it went down to like.. idk 20 MB or 40 MB? it was crazy.
I think once we find ripkits we should post them on the forums, have another section under 'Downloads'. I can search for some if we do that.
