btJunkie Calls it Quits

[challapradyumna]

Many file sharing sites have stopped their services after Megaupload case but this is a shocker to me btJunkie one of the major torrent search engine shutdown by its volunteers .

Goodbye Note :

This is the end of the line my friends. The decision does not come easy, but we’ve decided to voluntarily shut down. We’ve been fighting for years for your right to communicate, but it’s time to move on. It’s been an experience of a lifetime, we wish you all the best!

[ubergeek]

Whew as long as they keep hands off the Privates

i think we should be good

 

[YashBhatt]

dammit,sad news....

US isn't gonna leave anything to chance,they will target each n every sector of piracy...

Ppl should start a file hosting service on indian servers or maybe malaysian servers where they dnt give a f**k abt piracy crap,i guess tht would work ??

 

[thatsashok]

^ India ? does not give a damn about piracy ?

Well how did reliance get that crap order from court to block file hosting sites during movie release?

Errrr.u mis-understood my post mate !!

I was talking abt malaysian rules regarding piracy...offshore hosting ??Get it ??

^^Malaysia is very serious about piracy. They closed all Warez Servers.

Only places where US don't have reach like Iran are the only possibles.

[mjumrani]

Saw this in the morning and I couldn't believe it.

What am I to do now???

Damn the Americans...

Usenet... Its anyways much bigger than torrents..

Isn't it a payed service?

Someone who knows an alternate to BTjunkie please find me on FB and let me know. Please...

 

[vivek.krishnan]

It came as a bit of a shock for me, as btjunkie was my most preferred site. They even bypassed the Italian BS. Sad that it is being closed down.

RIP, btjunkie.org.

If you want to access Usenet for stuff that has been U/L in the last 365 days, there is a free service.

There is always 1337x.org, kat.ph, torrentz.eu & many more. Btjunkie was just a torrent indexer not a source, but it was a really good one.

 

[flash23]

For me it was long gone when BSNL blocked it.

for server locations Russia, Sweden some Eastern bloc countries would be good.

I think Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and Ahmadinejad should invest in torrent server. it will well serve their purpose Drain money from USA, Create trouble for USA. I bet the studios and DMCA will be $#!tless dealing with these guys.

On a lighter side how about Antarctica (international territory).

 

[raksrules]

I had found many things on btjunkie which i failed to find on PB and btjunkie combined with torrific was really good option but now RIP Btjunkie.

The world is seriously coming to an end.

 

[benryu]

gonna miss Btjunkie... fell like when mininova shut down

 

[thatsashok]

^ mininova transformed to legal only torrents right. Not shut down IIRC
