Yes, from teams of people that speciaize in a broad set of captures (like W4F and CAFFEiNE), that post them initially via very *private* distribution sites that then get redistributed from there to more generalized outlets - the most important of them being usenet distribution groups that originating/cataloging sties capture (usually with private access to sources for un-obfuscating filenames), and then ultimately this group, the file sharing sites, and eventually public torrents.

I'm not sure why you seem to have become so defensive over my
statement, and I'm more than experienced in how Usenet and newsgroups
work.
As far as someone posting a private capture, I did it myself last
year. Yes I know that's a while ago, but there was a specific request
that I just happened to have (and that show was last posted about 3
years earlier). So I posted that episode on 06/17/18.
There are plenty of people that lurk and only download from newsgroups
without contributing to them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with
anyone posting a request for something they need and hope a member of
the group will step up and post the needed episodet.
So I stick by my statement that it doesn't really matter if it's been
posted to this, or any other group.
