aXXo
aXXo is the Internet alias of an individual who released and standardized commercial film DVDs as free downloads on the Internet between 2005 and 2009. The files, which were usually new films, were popular among the file sharing community using peer-to-peer file sharing protocols such as BitTorrent. A download-tracking firm BigChampagne found— in a sampling period in late 2008— that almost 33.5% of all movie downloads were aXXo torrents. aXXo encoded files to approximately 700 MB— the same capacity as a compact disc. Due to the re-encoded quality of an aXXo file, the suffix "aXXo" was often used by imitators.
