Extra Quality - Firsttorrents
A standard torrent might offer a 128kbps AAC audio track. FirstTorrents Extra Quality offers lossless DTS-HD. This requires nearly 5 Mbps of bandwidth just for sound. The result? You hear the air move in a character's lungs; you feel the subsonic rumble of an earthquake. Standard quality reproduces sounds; extra quality reproduces atmosphere.

Do not be fooled by "4K" alone. A low-quality 4K torrent might have a bitrate of 8 Mbps. A FirstTorrents Extra Quality 1080p torrent might have a bitrate of 18 Mbps. The 1080p file will look significantly better on a standard screen because it carries more visual data per pixel.
Due to the desirability of these releases, fake "FirstTorrents Invite" websites have proliferated. Scammers promise access to the "Extra Quality" internal section in exchange for Bitcoin or surveys. Legitimate FirstTorrents is closed; do not pay for invites.
