Well, Suprnova has shut down as a place to download torrents. This is a serious drag considering how often I have used it in the past  .
Does anyone know the story as to why this has happened?
And more importantly, does anyone have any suggestions for a site that can come close when it comes to variety of movies? I��m really only interested in bit torrent sites. |

The main ones I go to are ones that have a tracked ratio to cut down on leeches. And I don't like to advertise them because I sure as hell don't want to draw the various **AA's attention.
I can direct you to Pirate Bay, though. I don't think they're too susceptible to pressure. Their correspondence with those groups is hilarious to read, check it out when you get the chance. The only problem with this site is that you've got to be careful about what you download movie/tv-wise. It's an international site, so paying attention to what language the torrent is becomes paramount. |

Suprnova.org Closes
December 19, 2004
Thomas Mennecke
For two years, SuprNova.org maintained the largest BitTorrent community on the Internet. Literally millions of individuals each day would traverse this BitTorrent site looking for the latest releases. Although SuprNova was not a tracker, it did provide thousands of Torrent links to a multitude of movies, games, images and music. Today, the millions who called SuprNova home are now facing the grim reality that SuprNova.org no longer exists.
SuprNova.org's fall comes shortly after the demise of other key BitTorrent and eDonkey2000 link sites. Last week, the MPAA and other world wide copyright organizations began to clamp down on ShareConnector, Youceff Torrents and many others. While SuprNova.org was not forced off line, the administration was definitely feeling the pressure.
Slyck spoke with Sloncek, administrator of SuprNova.org about its closure.
"SuprNova.org was more like a hobby that took most of my free time away. And now with current situation, there? too much pressure and I don? have the time for it."
Considering that administrators of smaller, although no less significant, communities such as ShareConnector were actually arrested, Sloncek decided to take SuprNova.org off line voluntarily. This will allow him and his fellow administrative staff to concentrate on other projects without worry of prosecution.
While the ability to trade information was a key reason for the success of SuprNova.org, the community will remain intact. SuprNova.org's forums and IRC network will remain online. In addition to keeping the community functioning, it will also allow the SuprNova.org administration to relay any addition news and information. The following statement is all that remains on SuprNova.org:
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! |
