Damn...the week before I get broadband too....I guess they've got to set up servers in countries that just don't give a shit.

I hope this is just a temporary thing

Any Mac OS X users PM me if you want an invite to the Mac Torrents site. It is by invite only I'm afraid. And it is just Mac stuff, so no good to Windoze users.

Fingers crossed this place stays up, but judging by the lawsuit Apple has just filed against pre-release OS discs being shared, maybe it too has a short time left.

I'm using Edonkey okay!

I've heard the US motion picture doodah thingy is targetting the servers that offer films to down load etc.?

Just found an absolute peach for torrents. Kicks ass. last night started to download three movies. All all three were completed by 6.30am this morning. I'll let you know when ive checked to quality out later in this afternoon.

Due the legal pressure to close the site down and the costs caused by the increasing bandwidth usage, it's not possible to keep the site up at the moment.

Thanks for your comprehension.

didn't like it much anyway..... slow downloads and to much money spent on making the site look pretty. Tried it many times but not much look.

Check out the site and the forum, Harry. May be, they've got some info on that.
