Default the doomed torrent

well it appears that most of the torrent sites have finally been forced into closing and now one of the biggest ever Suprnova is now no more there will always be others to try and take its place but more legal issues will keep them closed RIP suprnova

Hello

There are still some torrent sites around. But SuprNova certainly was the most popular by far.

I'm sure some other "next big thing" will happen soon. They are talking about some form of Torrent that is distributed so there is no need for a single tracker location.

I've never used BitTorrent but I hope they roll the new one out soon, bit irritating when these closures happen!

I'm a DC++ man!

I noticed quite a few other torrent sites are now off-line too!

Could this be the end of the torrent?

Well, until some whizz-kid figure another way (which there always is)

Hello

You can read about the creator of Bit Torrent here: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/1...ittorrent.html.

Actually seems like a bit of an arrogant idiot to me, but then so do a lot of super-intelligent people!

The Suprnova mirror has never been down, just do a search for it.
