Suprnova and Torrentbits gone

Suprnova and Torrentbits gone
TRHR alerted us about Torrentbits closing down by using our news submission form. Aswell as Torrentbits, BitTorrent giant Suprnova.org has also decided to stop offering torrent files. The following is pasted from the Suprnova homepage.

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!

Please visit SuprNova.org every once in a while to get the latest news on what is happening and if there is anything new to report on.

As we wish to maintain the nice comunity that we created, we are kepping forums and irc servers open.

Thank you all and Goodbye!
sloncek & the rest of the SuprNova Team

And on the Torrentbits homepage

Thanks to all users, uploaders, mods and donors for helping create the best torrent site on the net, but this is where the road ends for us.

Suprnova was probably the most known Torrent site on the net, and Torrentbits had a reputation for getting files very early and having Seeders with very fast uploading speeds.

Thanks to TRHR for alerting us about this.

    I can't believe this. I just started using Suprnova a little while ago. Now I'll have to go back to Torrent Reactor.
    damnit!!!

  • Herra^Huu

    damn this sucks.. well, good that theres still ThePirateBay left.. but i think that they wont have the movies/music/games/apps as fast now when those two are down.. hope that all those fast seeders and all users from those comes to TPB :P
    TPB is the only good place left, after FinReactor, SuprNova and Torrentbits closed..

    All of you good trackers, Rest In Peace

  • lcarbutt

    i think http://www.torrentreactor.to is set to become the new big torrent site as long as that does not get taken down.

    19.12.2004 09:36 #4

  • Herra^Huu

    maybe, but thepiratebay had a few weeks ago 1.000.000 peers and it has over 100.000 registred users. im not sure but i think that i read somewhere that tpb is the biggest torrenttracker in the worls..

    Time to move on to another P2P bittorrent site.....either that or switch to another ap.....This isn't going to stop anything....People WILL get their free fix of files.

  • buraku

    damn, what a bummer. oh well, at least this gives me an opportunity to stop DLing for a while and start backing up all my stuff to dvd to play on my dvp642.

  • MXGzX

    You guys might also want to check out torrentspy...it's apparently a sister to the well known ircspy

    and I know another site better than torrentbits but I won't tell considering they are already dealing with tons of users joing right now....maybe some other time :)

    A sad, sad day. Suprnova was the one stable source on the web for BT. Man, I can't believe they got to them... The MPAA, RIAA & BSA, should be punished for shutting stuff like this down, or at least scaring the Cr*p out of the good folks at Suprnova. Don't they get that this won't stop? Actually, let them try to stop it, they'll go broke quicker. I'll start using Loki, so my seeds are going there. Hope you come back Suprnova!

    Bah! http://www.bi-torrent.com/for is not suprnova.org. It's an old mirror thats not been updated.

    20.12.2004 08:43 #26

  • elliott

    It's a sad day, I've been using supernova almost exclusively and for them to say they are losing money to file sharing is a total exaggeration. I often buy the dvd of a movie I have downloaded it gives me the opportunity to prescreen something I missed in theatres. Well kaka someone supply us with some other sites and now I am even gonna seed my files which I hadn't done before.

    20.12.2004 08:48 #27

  • Toiletman

    Sad news. But as I said before, new sites will spring up. They'll be the new suprnovas. Afterall, when suprnova dies out, they explode... =D

    20.12.2004 09:04 #28

  • wick780

    Aye, suprnova may be dead but it has done so much for the sharing community. With it gone all its users will find new places to go. Other sites will boom and grow. Filesharers stick together! For in the end we will win!

    20.12.2004 09:12 #29

  • teme565

    Sad thing. I always thought that Torrent was too good to be true. Transfer speed was something that was hard to reach with any other P2P-protocol.

    Even thought also edonkey link sites has been closed, ed2k still works, thanks to the search feature, but torrent has no search so it is hard to get files.

    20.12.2004 09:16 #30

  • redwizard

    sigh i just started using suprnova
    can someone give me some links to sites that still work
    almost all of them are down now and the ones i find that work are very small

    U know what first the president of the unite states and all the us companies want to export american companies and jobs know they want to take our freedom of sharing and trading what and this is a called a democratic country I dont think soooooooo

  • m65xiuwa3

    there is another program limewire.just go on google
    type limewire and on page 6 ,7 ,8 you will find it.its free.i downloaded 500 songs (it was made for songs) and some few games.i fell bad for suprnova.
    i didnt use it but my neighbor did.until they will come back use limewire

    20.12.2004 15:30 #35

  • daemonzx6

    Limewire is a Gnutella client, and from my experience, not a very good one at that. I use Gnucleus, try that.

    20.12.2004 16:52 #36

  • daemonzx6

    Somebody else had the same theory about all the leaked games like Half-Life 2, Halo 2, and GTA: San Andreas. Nobody would even know about any of those it if it wasn't for the publicity it gets from the corporations whining about it all over the place.

    20.12.2004 19:38 #37

  • mrmont

    well i cant see what the problem was i mean i know downloading copyrighted stuff was piaricy but come on, the MPAA saying there losing money! who are they kidding, have you noticed every movie that gets released seems to be the biggest blockbuster of all time earning more money then the last movie.. that indicates to me that we cant be making that much of an impact for them to complain about, if droves of people are still going to the movies to watch the film.... But then agian all the people who download are funding orginised crime and are in the drugs cartel, killing old ladys and stuff.. YEAH RIGHT!!!

    i would'nt have to download if the uk got the films released the same time as the US..

    21.12.2004 06:38 #38

  • daemonzx6

    very true

    21.12.2004 08:58 #39

  • ntranger

    the RIAA and MPAA are a bunch of idiots. Everyone knows that if you leave shit alone, people will lose interest, and go off to and do other things. Them making a big deal about this is drawing attention to it. It goes back to telling a 4 year old, not to stick metal things in a power outlet. Whats the first thing he does when you leave? Sticks something in the outlet. These groups making a big deal about this is just drawing attention to it, and all they are doing is pissing up a rope. Its never going to stop, no matter how many people they sue, how many people they shut down. For every site they shut down, 5 more open in its place, but like kids, until they get a shock from hell, they won't stop.

    they were good sites what about dvdr-core did it get shut down too

    21.12.2004 11:21 #43

  • ntranger

    I am sure with the MPAA whippin' their cocks out, people will be shutting down until the clouds roll over. I give it a month, and stuff will be back to "normal".

    The mpaa needs to learn to live with file sharing damn it.

  • msb5150

    I hope now that suprnova's gone, those rips (suprnova.com and .net) die too, those messed with so many people I told about suprnova...I can't imagine how many people found one site wanted them to pay and just ignored bit-torrent.
    Ahh...if only the mpaa/riaa had sued the suprnova imposters...would that be some irony, really, they deserve it too, they were profitting from it, not like suprnova.

  • mrmathers

    HO HO HO!!!
    They think they can stop me by taking away my precious suprnova.org?!?!
    They must be out of their minds!
    Off to www.isohunt.com I say!!
    Damn them to hell tho, because I'd been using that for months and downloading many many fully working games, films and cd's!
    O well, screw them! Lets just hope suprnova comes back online! But until then, www.isohunt.com is a quality source for torrents!

  • AmitDESH

    All these torrent operators should move their operations to canada. The courts have consistently prevented any industry associates from either prosecuting file sharers or forcing ISPs to link IP addresses to actual names of individuals or corporations. If they did this maybe the torrent community can remain alive

    23.12.2004 21:55 #51

  • mrmont

    hi for some reason the links on www.torrentstop.com wont work i can access the site and click on the stuff to download but everything either says bad data or please sign somewhere else , torrent not reconised etc.. nothing ive tried works just error messeges.. is there somthing i need to be doing ive never had a problem with other sites ... cheers

  • uyebsk

    remember morpheus? now P2P with bit torrent? The bottom line is, you cannot shut down and control the internet, people will find ways to share files. The quick fix? Lowered the prices of movies, games, etc... Howd you justify stealing when all the recording labels, movie companies are literally stealing us constantly with their products? I'm sick and tired of people taking advantages of us middle classes. Arent these entertainments suppose to be affordable? Someone along the food chain is making way too much money, ie movie actors, actress, singers, etc...

    24.12.2004 12:19 #55

  • daemonzx6

    I would buy more of my games if they weren't $40-$60, and I would buy more CDs if they weren't $15-$25. People just can't afford to buy all of this stuff, so they get it for free online.
    Example: spend $100 dollars on 5 CDs, or pay the broadband bill for $20 and download as many as you want for free. Hm...I think I know which one I will pick.

    24.12.2004 14:49 #56

  • prestonr

    heres the new site, there still workin on it and thers only 3 torrents up there now, www.torrentbits2.org found it on another fourm, so i thought i would give you the heads up

    27.12.2004 23:06 #59

  • mrmont

    28.12.2004 03:05 #60

  • symb0lic

    you guys are fuckin amateurs if you think them fucking up bit torrent is a hit in the filesharing world you peeps got alot more to learn. there are many ways to get files and no i dont mean using a stupid program called limewire which is gay in the first place not to mention torrents are stupid because someone has to seed the damn file anyway. get with the program there are more ways to fileshare then p2p programs and torrents.

    Didn't they teach you HOW to swear properly in Kindergarden? Your placement of swearwords are absolutely horrid. Plus, I'm pretty sure they taught you to use captial letters in Kindergarden too.

    Everyone is entitled to their own true opinion. Either respect that or don't.
