Title: btjunkie.org is gone :-(
Post by: theymos on February 06, 2012, 05:27:43 AM
I've been using btjunkie.org for years. Very sad to see them to shut down. I'm using https://kat.ph/ now, and maybe I'll try http://torrentz.eu/ later. Neither is nearly as good as btjunkie.

All of these copyright-related site shutdowns are irritating me. I might start running a couple of darknet nodes again.

Indeed, usenet is where the big boys play.

Sad day for the internet. It was the place where I got old anime from.

Theymos, I think more of you!  Google is the best torrent search in the world.  Plus with cached pages, you can sometimes get torrent files and magnet links that may have been hidden or gone, but still have seeded files.

You can basically type anything you like, add ".torrent" to the end of the query, and be good.   Still, did not know BTJunkie shut down, sad to hear about that honestly, but let the hydra begin if companies think that shutting down individual sites is going to effect the overall mode of obtaining media that we all have grown to love.

Does their shutdown has something to do with the megaupload?

They said that things like that contributed to their decision to shut it down.

How about some sites with same nature like piratebay ? Will they shut down as well?

I really have this instinct that they'll be back yet with a new name BTChunkie.org

To add another free usenet indexer for those that were asking, nzb.su It's very similar to nzbs.org except they are actually taking new users.
