FilePorn Adult Torrent Site Joins Cheggit, Shuts Down

FilePorn, one of the longest standing adult BitTorrent trackers, has called it quits.

After more than 6 years online, the site’s operators say they were forced to shut down due to the threat of legal action.

“Unfortunately we have to terminate our tracker services due to a ‘copyright infringements’ lawsuit,” the site said in an announcement.

“There isn’t much we can do but comply to their terms.”

No specifics of the threat were offered but assurances were given that there will be no ‘comeback’ from the FilePorn admin or moderation team.

The news comes hot on the heels of the closure of Cheggit earlier this month.

      Cheggit had the best search and quality of users out of the whole net that I could find. 5TB+ I collected. But then again, I’m a jagoff.

  • FilePornRIP

    RIP Torrent Site. Withstanding 6 years is a very long time. Job well done.

  • Coldtoon

    …..um i don’t understand how pron can be copyrighted since it does not follow the copyright rules

    • PlatinumC

      Haha, yeah I wonder what happened with that case :D

    • Rebellion

      They don’t care about rules, only money.

      Those MPAA, RIAA, Pron Industry only want you to watch, read, listen and buy what they want, when they want and charge an abusive price for that.

      An adult torrent site dies? So what, there’s hundred more still active and there’s always XHamster. : )

      • Clownius

        Yup you cant stop every site.

        Not that hard to setup a tracker thankfully and they will end up where people find it impossible to stop them ;-0)

    xvideos.com
    redtube.com
    dinotube.com

    those sites are still active but as in videos so you watch it straight from the website, the mpaa may be going after porn downloading sites, but those sites I mentioned they cant go after, they could, but those been up for a while, and have not gotten a lawsuit yet…..

    when you see sites that are blogs that allow comments, and that link to file lockers and the file locker content is dead, should you google around and find that content, DO post new file locker links, it helps others get what they are looking for.

    I miss cheggit it so much. The interface was so great. Sigh. I wish something would come along that was as good as it to replace it.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_666CXNEZ6KWZNLK3L4GHGHJ2UE the poodah

    Lol what a bs excuse, there is no way some obscure site like them were shut down because of ‘copyright’ or whatever. They obviously just had enough like Empornium and Pure TnA did. Their other affiliate sites for apps/games/movies were closed down because of the admin just not paying the bills or caring anymore, and this one was pretty much led by the same guy until someone took it over, and its obvious they just got tired of it too. It wasn’t that popular anymore and it’s traffic was way down. Im surprised it went on as long as it did once Filelist and their other sites died. Plus scene-only sites suck anyway, especially for porn. This site was still living back in the 2003 days with the ‘scene only’ stuff :rolleyes:

  • Torrenter

    Will we remain silent ?
    hate porn but torrent not just porn .

  • TORRENTER

    There is a possibility the existence of a solution.
    FTP technique can be switched to the device our pc to FTPserver and therefore will become trackers and seeders at same time .
    FOR TRY

  • Rex Rodney

    what is the biggest porn torrentsite at the moment? I have registered at a lot of the new and maybe old but not so popular porn torrent sites. Many of the sites seems to have very few seeders and leechers and and lack of good torrents. Cheggit puretna and empornium really ruled their time, so I really miss them.

    at the moment I’m using piratebay for porn because there is lots of torrents and users there after they went public, but the torrent descriptions and screenshots are not commonly used.

    what do YOU use for porn torrents?
