Looks like the Torrent scene is getting the squeeze.
A big shame - but From looking at the no. of people downloading 0 day games I guess it was getting too easy to download anything new.

Whaaaaaaaaa! It's very sad when the best sites close....like Sharereactor for eDonkey, but that p2p continued to thrive.....and so will BitTorrent.

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 keppig forums and irc servers open.

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

I talked to a guy who knows the guy/girl that opened suprnova he said there simply wasn't enough money to keep the site up.

Unfortunately there's more to it than that - They, like many other torrent sites and trackers were sent a cease and desist order by the fiendly MPAA.
Many Torrent sites and trackers are now down.From ISOHUNT:

" A series of news on BitTorrent / eDonkey crackdown:

- MP** targetting BitTorrent servers
We've been emailed a cease & desist letter from them, with a "sample" of infringing links. We are in the process of working this out with them, as per our copyright policy.
- Youceff shutdown (Updated)
Crackdown is really heating up worldwide (their servers were in France)
- ShareConnector shutdown
Along with some other eDonkey verified link sites.
- A list of affected BitTorrent and eDonkey sites
- Adding to the list, Suprnova.org just announced permanent close down along with TorrentBits

This begs the question of why are copyright owners so bent on shutting things down, when resources can be better spent on embracing new technologies instead. The movie studios sued Sony on VCRs once and failed, and home videos are now a big business. With the Grokster / Streamcast case going to the US Supreme Court, one can only hope that history do repeat itself for P2P. If not... what's the point of the internet again? "

But remember what happened when Napster was ordered to close - the other p2p networks just got bigger.

Suprnova is referring to Exeem... Any idea if it's worth to download??

Post by **Scaryfun** » Sat Feb 12, 2005 10:47 pm

Supposedly Exeem installs plenty of adware such as Cyberdoor.
