SuprNova: The Legend Returns Today

Written by Ernesto on August 21, 2007 

The legendary BitTorrent site “SuprNova” will return today, courtesy of The Pirate Bay. Not surprisingly, the new and improved SuprNova has a special message to the copyright police: “You are the past and the forgotten, we are the Internet and the future”.

suprnova is backAt the time we post this article the countdown message on SuprNova shows that the site will go live in less than six hours.

The SuprNova team is proud to relaunch this piece of Internet history and they let us know: “SuprNova has been down for some years due to some heavy pressure from the copyright lobby. The former owner sloncek donated SuprNova to The Pirate Bay - and as you know, we like to kick ass and bow for noone!”

The new and improved version of SuprNova will be a combination of old and new features. It will have a different look and feel, but it is clearly inspired by the old SuprNova design.

The first weeks after its launch will be used as a public beta test. This means that there will probably be some bugs and minor problems that need to be taken care of, but nothing too serious hopefully.

SuprNova crawls more than 25.000 trackers and has a huge database of more than 1.000.000 torrents with nearly 25.000.000 peers. This means that SuprNova will start where it left of, as one of the biggest BitTorrent indexing sites.

Last but not least, the SuprNova team has a strong message for the anti-pirates:

“This is how it works. Whatever you sink, we build back up. Whomever you sue, ten new pirates are recruited. Wherever you go, we are already ahead of you. You are the past and the forgotten, we are the internet and the future.”

Y’arr! WAFFLES!

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

Way to go,SuprNova. With a big site like this, could only strengthen the file-sharing community. Benefits the society as a whole.

What was supposed to be “For the people by the people and of the people” has become so owned by the illuminati that there is no respect left for what people want.

I’m glad someone is willing to be the big dick and take the heat for the little private darknets. Public trackers are a waste of time.

20 Aug 21, 2007 at 19:13 by Suprnova

Uhm not online here?

21 Aug 21, 2007 at 19:18 by Tordenflesk

Still the same old crappy site it was before. Now with the added crappyness of TPB. What an anti-climactic event.

22 Aug 21, 2007 at 19:21 by Maxxiester

Can you acces the site?

Uhm.. still get two min. message..

Climactic eh?

sure!

Bit Torrent sites and downloading are old school!

Joox.net type sites are the thing now.

Why didnt they use Suprnova.org for their YouTube/Joox.net service ?

26 Aug 21, 2007 at 20:07 by Aries

SuprNova(bittorrent) is more than just movies, unlike Joox. Plus althought Joox/Stage6 has better quality than Youtube, it’s still crap.

27 Aug 21, 2007 at 22:26 by manicmac

Yep the new site is up and running….lmao….so I go to piratebay and its down….

28 Aug 22, 2007 at 00:00 by Section8

They had to do some upgrades it will be up soon.

Sloncek wanted SN.org brought back the way it was. TPB crew has done that, they can easily make a new site for the video stream they don’t need the SN.org name to make it a huge success

Man, this a definite morale lowerer for the anti pirates. I loved suprnova when it was around, and now it’s BACK!!!

30 Aug 22, 2007 at 16:57 by matttv

is it just me or is suprnova over run with fakes and bad torrents. I typed in axxo and almost the hole first page were fakes. Its great that they wanna have 25.000 trackers, but not so great when some of those are overrun with fakes.

31 Aug 24, 2007 at 03:27 by Billy

I’m so excited, I can’t even breathe. Oh dear. This is oh so exciting.

Actually I never been to suprnova before, sadly. If I did i’ll be so excited. Damnit! :(

32 Aug 25, 2007 at 01:15 by Timon

It wasn’t up yesterday but it’s up now. And again, I wish I was there before it shut down. I hate being a Suprnewbie..
