bittorrent and edonkey sites shutdown

the MPAA, US and european police forces went on an offensive over the past couple of days by shutting down a number of bittorrent sites.

They will only delay things, just now you'll see a surge of sites like this where you can send files upto 1 gig to a recipient.

streamload comes to mind... you have to pay a small amount per month, but you still can get anything you want, and it usually appears there faster than the torrents/edonkey network :erm:

Re: bittorrent and edonkey sites shutdown

Oh well there goes another torrent site :( Phoenix Torrents has closed up shop :shrug: :sulk:

and elite torrents :)

Re: bittorrent and edonkey sites shutdown

When they say "servers" do they mean the trackers? Sites that hold torrents aren't illegal because a torrent isn't illegal unless you use it?

Good-bye!
Greetings everybody, As you have probably noticed, we have often had downtimes. This was because it was so hard to keep this site up! But now we are sorry to inform you all, that SuprNova is closing down for good in the way that we all know it. We do not know if SuprNova is going to return, but it is certainly not going to be hosting any more torrent links. We are very sorry for this, but there was no other way, we have tried everything. Thank you all that helped us, by donating mirrors or something else, by uploading and seeding files, by helping people out on IRC and on forum, by spreading the word about SuprNova.org. It is a sad day for all of us! Please visit SuprNova.org every once in a while to get the latest news on what is happening and if there is anything new to report on. As we wish to maintain the nice community that we created, we are keeping the forums and irc servers open. Thank you all and Goodbye! sloncek & the rest of the SuprNova Team

Suprnova has closed its doors, there will be no more bit torrents hosted there!!!!

Seems to me they have finally given in, oh well there always other places to go.
Suprnova will be forgotten in time.

OMG that is so crap.

Re: Suprnova gone

got news for you, at least half have shut in last four days :(

the ones i know of anyway.

Re: bittorrent and edonkey sites shutdown

Maybe time for people to check out www.isohunt.com

They only have links to the torrents, and don't host them. A little slow since the demise of Supernova but an excellent place to get torrents all the same.

:D
