Podtropolis, the most popular “Ipod” torrent site is in trouble. The site was recently covered in a brand new web2.0 sauce, but they are still not able to pay the bills.

They are asking their visitors for a little help:

it’s looking like we are going to have to close our doors in the next week unless we can come up with enough money to pay our server bill for this month. Our host has put us on notice. We have been unable to pay it due to the fact that we lost an advertiser and donations have become practically non-existant.

This is the second time that the Ipod torrent tracker is asking for donations. But it is unlikely that donations can keep the site in the air forever. They are doomed to go offline, unless they find a good advertising partner.

Perhaps Targetpoint is interested?

If you don't like torrents try MP3 Fiesta. They hold nearly 67,000 albums from nearly 17,000 artists. Prices are around the $0.10 mark for single tracks with full albums coming in at roughly $1.00. Tracks are available from 192kbps and they take major credit cards and PayPal

Gee I thought Gary was taking on the costs for that site, I guess he couldnt turn a profit on it so he is going to can it, so much for having good intentions behind his motives for taking on the hosting.
