Finally, Torrentspy has shut the doors..

[CyberPitz]

They were essentially closed down a long while ago, but it's finally official that the site is gone.

I wish they woulda kept the news section, it was always entertaining..

Friends of TorrentSpy,

We have decided on our own, not due to any court order or agreement, to bring the Torrentspy.com search engine to an end and thus we permanently closed down worldwide on March 24, 2008.

The legal climate in the USA for copyright, privacy of search requests, and links to torrent files in search results is simply too hostile. We spent the last two years, and hundreds of thousands of dollars, defending the rights of our users and ourselves.

Ultimately the Court demanded actions that in our view were inconsistent with our privacy policy, traditional court rules, and International law; therefore, we now feel compelled to provide the ultimate method of privacy protection for our users - permanent shutdown.

It was a wild ride,

The TorrentSpy Team

[Bad^Hat]

Eh, I always found torrentspy to be a little bit lacking compared to other sites that search multiple sources.

But which I mean... good riddance! Down with pirating! Arr.

 

[FishBulb]

Well, at least they managed to spawn SpikedHumor before they died.

Understatement of the day. More like;

There are tonnes more of superior quality. Then again only noobs use torrents. Newsgroups are still king.

 

[Eejit]

Then again only noobs use public torrents.

Fixed.
Private tracker sites are very, very good.

... I've heard. >.>

If you use a torrent software wirelessly on a laptop, you can't be tracked right?

Only if you're sitting on top of a washing machine and the laptop if wrapped in tin foil.

Torrentspy didn't actually host anything, though, did they?

 

[bbson john]

I don't know what is torrentspy, which helping users search for torrent files for movies, musics and games. And I have never use it helping myself download files by BT.

Likely hood of saturating your DSL2 line to max with no uploads? Very low.

It's a search engine for .torrents. I can use google to search for illegal things too who'd have thought?

.torrents contain no copyrighted material merely offer the ability to connect you to those that may have such materials.

 

[99.vikram]

So this 'torrent' that you speak of - is it some kind of river?

 

[Eejit]

It's usually saturated with very low upload limit. Doesn't matter though as you can simply download while you sleep.

My flatmate maxed 2.5mb/s the first day we got our cable broadband connected.

And yet Pirate Bay still sails gallantly.

 

[Pesmerga]

On April 1rst Piratebay had to move their servers to somewhere in Egypt/North Africa

 

[CyberPitz]

Really, it wasn't that bad of a place to grab some torrents here and there.

By 'torrents' I mean News. and by grab, I mean read. And by wasn't, I mean Chicken.

What was I saying again?

PS, I am using mininova.org atm. Only one that I can find just about anything I need.

 

[Acepilotf14]

I definitely don't know anything about mininova or piratebay...
yeah.

 

[Pesmerga]

I don't even know about this thread.
