btjunkie.org is gone :-(

[theymos]

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.

I thought it was just under maintenance, i've been a regular customer of btjunkie.

Usenet.

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.

SOPA didn't pass, and yet all my torrent sites are disappearing... What gives?

sabnzbd and nzbs.org  It's only open to registration periodically.

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

[TheHeroMember]

Hope not.

anyone remember torrent spy?  they were good back in the day, bought a tshirt before they went under.

And sickbeard for managing tv shows!

I've been using btjunkie for quiet few years and most of my files are taken from that site. Quiet sad that they have shut.

Tribler is now decentralized!

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.
