NO... >_< SUPRNOVA.ORG TORRENTS ARE GONE FOR GOOD - Page 2

Anticrombie0909 · 12-19-2004, 01:14 PM

Son of a bitch. This blows. If my torrent sites go down, all they have to do now is take away my IRC cracking channels and I'm back to buying software.

Son of a bitch. Godamn government.

emccky · 12-19-2004, 01:16 PM

what irc servers do you go to anti?

dmleet · 12-19-2004, 01:22 PM

Hmm... I have not heard anything about the government's action behind this. I thought it was just a simple website problem, just like every time the site temporarily goes down.

I can't find any decent torrent sites.

BTW the trick (type *.torrent on your search engine in Windows / MAC, pressing F3) doesn't work. Simply because the torrents themselves are gone. So good riddance to any unfinished torrent from suprnova.org. For a while I thought this would work, but no.

Anuj · 12-19-2004, 01:31 PM

I'm DL'ing something I got from suprnova yesterday o.O
Mind you, its slowed down a lot... but its still dling =\

The torrents are still there, theres just no way to get to it >.<

Wayfaerer_ · 12-19-2004, 01:35 PM

Torrents never worked well for me anyway.

dmleet · 12-19-2004, 01:44 PM

wtf Anuj... What are you downloading? And how did you do that?

emccky · 12-19-2004, 01:57 PM

he's got magic i think.

dmleet · 12-19-2004, 02:00 PM

Wait... Well, you might have left your computer on and did not close the download window, maybe? Too bad for me, I did turn off my computer. Or the burning smell of my Athlon 64 (4000+) due to overclocking would have me wasted hundreds of dollars.

RIAA is in control of shutting down, any pirating webpage. It's massively funded by the government. Assholes. Government shits on free speech, or any right that a person has. Damn government. Hate.

**Tasselfoot** · 12-19-2004, 02:25 PM

piracy of software/tv/movies etc is not a violation of free speech Zild, and once more you prove your idiocy by thinking as such. its a copyright protection violation... aka, against the law. so, yea... the government is going to pay money to stop it which forces people to buy it themselves, thereby spending money, sparking the economy and at the same time, providing tax money back to said government.

1st ammendment rights. HA. aww... that gave me a damn good laugh.

but, to the important matters.... losing bittorrent is a big loss. i use it all the time for movies and tv shows. as i don't watch anime, i could care less about that. also, never DLed any games or software... and, luckily for me, i know other torrent sites that specialize in tv shows, movies, and porn.

for whoever said that suprnova had little porn... that is incorrect. THEY HAD NO PORN. didn't allow it on their site. there are other sites for it though. google is your friend.

Yes.

Let's hate the government for supporting copyright laws, and in doing so, giving us incentive to develop and create new ideas, technologys, and stlyes.

Down with the government I say!

LET'S GET DOWN WITH IT, I SAY!

tnyhwk900 · 12-19-2004, 02:27 PM

Man, that sucks. Spazz pointed me to a big font pack torrent like a week ago, so at least I got that dl'ed before it went down. =D

zildjian133 · 12-19-2004, 02:27 PM

You moron, I wasn't implying that piracy of software is free speech.

then why on earth would you bring it up? you mention it in the same paragraph, thereby making it assumed that it is apart of your current statement.

dmleet · 12-19-2004, 02:31 PM

... On like my 5th or 4th post to this topic, I addressed the issues with RIAA and p2p programs.

It's just that I didn't think BitTorrent would be the next target.

NOTE: They don't have to shut down p2p programs like that. If anyone remembered weeks ago, Sierra has a fake, free downloadable version of Half-Life 2. This is done to catch downloaders like suprnova ones. I, too, feel guilty, but I at least bought Half-Life2 off the shelf. There were about 20,000+ people banned off Steam because they downloaded HL2 with the same cd-keys. I was well aware of this before downloading any HL2 installations (and therefore did not get it off the net, not even from Steam).

Sierra is a good example of how piracy should be stopped, but not the p2p program itself.

emccky · 12-19-2004, 02:32 PM

any other good torrent sites?

**Tasselfoot** · 12-19-2004, 02:33 PM

afaik, suprnova's shutting down is unrelated to government pressure.

**talisman** · 12-19-2004, 02:34 PM

just fyi, they weren't shut down, they shut themselves down before they could get sued.

wait a few months, sites will stop popping back up with new names and whatnot.

jewpinthethird · 12-19-2004, 02:40 PM

Suprnova...will be missed. Best torrent site, ever. Good thing I finished downloading everything I wanted yesterday.

::edit:: Weird, on my other computer, suprnova still works...

dmleet · 12-19-2004, 02:55 PM

Hmm... I forgot how Kazaa won the trial against RIAA.
