Suprnova.org used to be the king of the torrent scene until they chose to close down the site in December 2004 because of intense legal battles.
Since then, dozens upon dozens of torrent sites have surfaced, many of them based in some fashion on Suprnova’s site structure.
Now, Suprnova is back online thanks to the infamous guys at The Pirate Bay. I probably won’t be able to use the site while I’m here in Australia, but my only hope is that it’s not as sluggishly slow as it was before it closed down.
Here’s what they had to say:
Suprnova has been down for some years due to some heavy pressure from the copyright lobby. The former owner sloncek donated suprnova to The Pirate Bay – and as you know, we like to kick ass and bow for noone!
We were going to keep this site a secret until we had finished it, but of course it leaked, that’s how internet works. So now that the word is out, we’re releasing it!
Please consider these first weeks/months as a beta test. Since we love all you guys and gals so much we decided to keep it an open beta test. That means, please behave, don’t complaint to much and if you discover any weird bugs or problems, let us know.
Some of you have also already discovered our new forum, Suprbay! Which is a joint forum for both Suprnova and The Pirate Bay. Discuss movies, music, love and whatever with your fellow pirates.
Finally, some words for non-internet loving companies: This is how it works. Whatever you sink, we build back up. Whomever you sue, ten new pirates are recruited. Wherever you go, we are already ahead of you. You are the past and the forgotten, we are the internet and the future.
y’arr!
Ok, enjoy!
