Goodbye Torrentspy

[dam_guy]

I liked using torrentspy, even with all that spam... well here's to the end of another great search engine.

www.torrentspy.com (http://www.torrentspy.com)

[Redlyne_jr]

blah they will just come out with like torrentninja.com as a replacment..

[Gooseberry]

There are plenty of better places... no big loss.

mininova

[dennisaur]

^^ yep and good ol piratebay too

[Rocky]

Too bad, TS was my go-to since suprnova closed down way back when.

[badatusrnames]

IsoHunt anyone?

Mininova/piratebay>All others

[Despair*]

I usually use torrnetscan.com to search through some of the bigger torrent sites to find what I'm looking for. It seems to work fairly well.

[Idratherbsidewayz]

Isohunt FTW!!

isohunt x 3 (i think it's 3)

Is there a message? Can someone copy and paste it?

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

"Big Brother in the form of an increasingly powerful government and in an increasingly powerful private sector will pile the records high with reasons why privacy should give way to national security, to law and order [...] and the like." - Justice William O. Douglas

[eglove]

[Boat]

edit

[Godfuader]

How can it be shut down from the 24th...when on the 25th I used it to download 3 movies?? :dunno: Anyways...seems like isohunt is the crowd favourite.

[Bimmer88]

Piratebay!

and looks like that quote by Justice William O. Douglas is correct. What is our privacy these days? it seems that we have things like RFI implants, retna scanners, finger print scanners... etc... gay... there will be no privacy one day.

Its as if someone somewhere is always watching you. "Big Brother"

Torrentspy is okay, but it just hotlinked to a lot of mininova

[Splooge]

sweet i haven't tried some of these other ones you guys mentioned. i usually stick with mininova

For everyone who loves aXXo try FXG, all his rips are excellent quality, well seeded and quick with releases. Torrentspy was great when they had comments. I now use btjunkie.org and it works well.
