D'oh. I wonder if another site will be able to fill the void it left behind, and whether its disappearance was down to maintenance problems or external intervention...

[color=66ff00]Suprnova.org officially closed its doors today, seems there's a rumour that the MPAA went after them but that's conjecture at this point.

Anyhow, I'm pretty sure that this is going to inspire someone to design a new torrenting system or something like it with less transparent detection possibilities.

Right now bittorrent is responsible for around a thrid of internet traffic, it's not going to go away irrespective of what the MPAA or other media crippling organisation want.

Here's to the next level.

This explains why it's been acting odd all day. A sad day for sure, but another service will rise from the ashes.... they always do.

uhm, a third? Are you sure about that? Do you have any idea how much a third of *all* internet traffic is?

Good job I've got three other torrent sites on my link bar

BTW DG, regarding your siggy: The new term is 'media liberation'. When was the last time you boarded a boat, murdered the crew and looted it?

Remember folks, we can play the Orwellian word game too, liberate some media today!

I'm encouraged by the fact that less than a month ago, Suprnova was asking for beta testers for a new file-sharing program called Ezeem. I didn't sign up because it explicitly said that you would have to be active, and I wasn't sure I could do that.

Maeg: right on! We ain't no scurvy pirate dogs. Yarrrr!

Though I wouldn't mind the term "Men of Low Moral Fibre".

A third of traffic doesn't sound too unrealistic today. When you look at the range of torrents handled by suprnova, it's not hard to add up the numbers and see that more than a million people, presumably with access to high-tier broadband are active in a single period of time. The only unscalable thing about BitTorrent is the torrent host itself - occasionally it can't meet the demand for even providing access to, never mind seeding, the content.

This is the next best site. http://www.torrentreactor.net/index.php

Rictor · **Reply #10 on:** December 19, 2004, 01:49:26 pm

actually, Piratebay.org might be the next biggest, though isohunt.com is always the best choice since its essentially a search engine for BT and includes a huge number of trackers, including all the biggest ones.

you act like it's the end of bittorrent. there's hundreds of other torrent sites out there... if anything, this is only the beginning.
