If they got busted I don't think it'll ever be back! EVER! Jabba, please remove all traces of all vids from this place!!!
DO we know for sure it was shut down?
That message has appeared briefly in the past during maintenance windows.
besides - the forums are seperate from the video content.

Wow, I sorta thought of rf is too good to be semi-free....But with membership and all I just assumed that the legal issues checked out.... Johns where did you hear that from?they got shutdown for Illegally distributin films. like copy films and distribute to public without permission
Yeh Johns is that from a confirmed source?

The language was very general and the message itself did not IMO state with resonable doubt the cause.

It will be extremly hard for them to prove anything. And I mean extremly hard. If someone takes you to court because you downloaded vids of RF, you can fuck em up good with a good lawyer.
If someone takes you to court because you downloaded vids of RF
Somebody with lot of free time on his hands :D

I get a different error:
"Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. "

The message that was displayed was a generic message. It never stated that the site was breaking any laws directly. I suspect it was a result of a hosting error simular to how we had the suspended messages there a few weeks back.

We won't go to court if we download the vids. Only the distributor does. Just like if you download 100's of megabytes of stuff on Kazaa it won't happen, but if you are the uploader then you're screwed.
Hehe so you didn't read about that girls sued because downloader? It doesn't matter if you sell or buy something illegal (or upload and download).. both parts are illegal

no its not. sorry forgot to mention..but that what I was thinkin since most of the shit on that site is illegal :D

:shock: i dont think most of you understand what this message is saying, it basically says that the server cannot keep you from using this privately and that what every you download or use can be tracked and you can be penalized. then it says if you dont want law enforcement or disciplinary action against you then log off fromt the site. this is a warning before they put the site up, it mad be hard to track someone but im not gonna take that chance, they might be waiting to see how many ppl use the site so they can permanently take it down and possibly hold users accountable. :shock:
:shock: im done with racingflix. :shock:
:shock: read it again, make sure you understand it. anyone think im wrong? :shock:

A lot of that was still free in the first place. It's only illegal if it had to be paid for first. Distribution of these free videos actually gets more people to go to the sites where the vids were from. If it were still illegal, I won't have to worry anyway... I just use the forums now. :infinity: hehe. that emoticon is cool.

it just says maintence and upgrades!!!!!!!!!! GO to it now !!! That what it says is bs probrobly... I will still dl cause I pay!!

This is my theory, the RF server got overloaded/crashed. So the domain was being redirected to another Alentus server, that's why you get that error message.
DR.GONZO
11-22-2003, 01:06 AM
yup, i agree
DeMoN
11-22-2003, 01:07 AM
I want my money back! lol
no man, this is some serious shit. I hope it is a redirection to a wrong alert. If that alert is right. Everyone dloading from them is in serious trobule. Well not those who dload non-copyrighted material. The fact of the matter is that any dload you make you leav your IP to them, if the dload you make is illegal and the law enforcers ask for the recrods, your IP will be given and you might end up being traced if you have a static IP. I, for one, will NEVER dowload anything that is illegal from them because my IP is static. Not only is it static, but it is very easy to trace and pinpoint my position as in street address apartment number andd ROOM number. Add the phone there and you got yerself a date lol...

Notice Regarding RacingFlix.com Outage
Our web server crashed this morning due to increased traffic, and our host was unable to bring it back online. We immediately had a brand new dual-processor web server built and setup the same day. We were able to get a new server setup the same day, and going forward you should experience better speed when browsing RacingFlix.com and the RacingFlix.com Discussion Forums. We applogize for this outage but on a high-traffic site, technology problems do occur. Please use the Discussion Forums to notify us of any problems you experience while browsing RacingFlix.com. Again, sorry for the outage and thanks for your continued support
