Bye Bye SUPRNOVA
 

Suprnova.org calls it quits in wake of BitTorrent suitsThe Associated Press
Updated: 4:36 p.m. ET Dec. 20, 2004NEW YORK - One of the Web's most popular file-sharing sites has shut down less than a week after Hollywood announced a flurry of lawsuits against operators of such Internet servers.

A note posted on Suprnova.org, which facilitated sharing among users of the BitTorrent program, said the site was "closing down for good." The collection of links to downloadable files, including music, movies and books, was taken down.

"We are very sorry for this, but there was no other way, we have tried everything," the statement said.

Reached via Suprnova.org's chat room, the site's anonymous operator refused to comment on why it had shut down.

Last week, movie studios sued more than 100 operators of U.S. and European sites that host BitTorrent links but did not name the defendants.

What now? :(

torrents suck anyways

:waaaaahh

Torrentreactor will just get bigger

How's that? It's by far the best way to get files...unless it confuses you.

You honestly believe this? and you have the balls to judge me in other threads?

There will alway be mirrored sites.

How can you mirror a site that is no longer in operation? Looks like the MPAA is shutting down everyone in reach.

I agree, Newsgroups are 10x better

Yes, I honestly believe this. I have done everything from FTP and newsgroups to every p2p known to man. BT is definitely the way to go. Obviously you don't know shit from shineola about most things so judging you isn't a problem for me.

this is sad news :(

Muhahah

Private Groups are still alive...:thumbsup

very used it but i know my neighbor did and he hated it

duhr, ever heard of www.torrentreactor.to ??? There's only a million other suprnova.org type sites, except suprnova sucked people Come on, do some googling, it will do you good!


Bit Torrent is alive and well

lesson :

a mirror is used to mirror a site that is no longer in operation

here is the mirror to suprnova.org http://www.bi-torrent.com/index.htm

cant you fuckers simply buy your shit?

You can't buy the shit I get off bit torrent. You could 10+ years ago but not today.

Most of the links are dead. And that's none of the new stuff, anyway.

I get 1.85 MB/Sec off the newsgroups with only a cable modem, download movies in 5 mins...beat that with BT

oh ya, and the newsgroups are still working and anonymus

I buy my movies. :1orglaugh

I use newsgroups from time to time but it just isn't quite as good as BT.

you buy the incedibles on DVD? perfect sound and quality?

....and whatever your downloading (gay porn ect.) I could get it faster on newsgroups:)

Why not just use www.shareaza.com . Works fine.

I will when it comes out. I am not a thief.

Newsgroups was tight when I was 16 or so,(no I'm not joking).. I'm 24 now, the cool thing about bit torrent for everyone, is that you can goto 1 site (like Suprnova and the thousand others), download a small file, which at any time you can run and it will get what you need... Newsgroups, good luck searching through all those millions of posts, boring boring boring, however, typing in a website, then getting what u want instantly...priceless

Again, I too use newsgroups from time to time. I collect a lot of out of print music and most of it isn't on newsgroups. I have no interest in stealing things I could easily go to the store and buy or things that haven't been released yet.

What I collect hasn't been in a store in at least 10 years and rarely appears on ebay.

Consider me and millions others, thieves then.... We don't mind, we'll keep doing what we're doing, you got a rich movie star in the family who's hurting for $$$ or something?lol, got a father who works for the MPAA? Come on, spill the beans, nobody thinks like you do without an obvious link to the industry.

What I collect hasn't been in a store in at least 10 years and rarely appears on ebay. [/B][/QUOTE]

You sound like a boring, well, HOMOSEXUAL honestly... good luck with your weird, creepy, old-man records you 40 year old peddo

I am just honest. I agree with you though, I am in the minority. Why do people think that just because they CAN steal it, they should. If you don't have the money or are too cheap to fork it over, you shouldn't get the merchandise. I want a new Corvette but I don't have the money. Does that mean I should steal one? How does my predicament differ from yours? Does the fact that millions of people do it make it OK?

Keep in mind that this is an adult webmaster board. With a name like "crowkid" I seriously doubt you are old enough to be posting here.

I am under 30 and like women but there are hundreds of gay guys here. Are you trying to say that you have something against them?

bit torrent and DC++ are great

Heh, there's CP on that torrentreactor site. Scroll down, it's around the middle of the site.

Is there anyone you can report a torrent site to? Warez is one thing, but CP is a whole new ballpark :BangBang:

im using them to download the partituras of mozart. No copyright violations here either :Graucho

If someone left their ferrari running outside the grocery store while they ran in to get some milk, I'd take off in the fucking ferrari :1orglaugh

I'm not seeing anything like that, then again I'm using Firefox which disables gay popups....But let me know and I'll report it too

LMAO!!!

I really wish GFY would atleast have these two rules before you can be approved to post:

1: Prove you are 18+
2: Prove you are a adult webmaster

If not GoFuckYourSelf
My :2 cents:

Anyone who says BT sucks simply has not used it enough or perhaps used a client that their system had a problem with. Like with Kazaa, WinMX and other systems it largely depends on what you are trying to download. If it's the latest hit that everyone is trying to download or an extremely rare file only 1 or 2 people have you certainly aren't going to have it as smooth as a file that is better seeded and has been around long enough that there aren't many more times downloaders compared to seeds.

The torrents on suprnova or any other site are not "married" to the site, meaning you can post a copy of the torrent anywhere else (or send it by any means) and it will allow people to continue hooking up to download. This makes it perfect for fans of TV series that have various boards/chats. Since you are not searching the files of other downloaders it makes it more anonymous/secure and my favorite thing is that fake files are basically unheard of.

To be honest, suprnvova.org was always the second place I would go looking for particular items, since the stuff I download isn't the latest/greatest everybody's doing it files that the RIAA and MPAA are itching to sue you over. My first torrent stop is usually good ole Google and the way I've found many treasures is to simply search:

"what I am looking for" +torrent

I've used ABC (Another BitTorrent Client) exclusively for probably a year now after trying at least a dozen of them and it works very well for me. My favorite thing to use it for is downloading multiple episode sets of TV series that are not available on DVD.

If you are trying to download full-length movies, you may find faster ways but it's hard to beat the stability and security of BT, and especially the fact that you don't spend hours downloading only to find the file is fake, corrupted or mislabeled.

I'm a firm believer in "if you like it, buy it". BT has led me to purchases of things I would have never known about and also enjoy many things not or no longer available commercially.

:thumbsup

Wow, what cable modem company goes above 10 megabit per modem on their downchannel?

Do you live in Korea?
