GigaOm did an interview with Andrej Preston, aka Sloncek. As a teenager Andrej founded Suprnova.org, which once was the most popular BitTorrent site on the Internet. Andrej’s currently living in San Fransisco where he produces TorrentFreak TV and several other great shows for his new web video portal.
For those people who’ve been using BitTorrent for longer than 6 years, the name Suprnova.org is likely to bring back memories. In the first half of the previous decade it was the largest BitTorrent site on the Internet. Legal pressure eventually led it its demise, but this week the site has been relaunched by its founder as a video portal, complete with a little BitTorrent flavor.
The legendary BitTorrent site Suprnova.org will be back in action soon. Sloncek, the former owner of suprnova.org decided to donate the domain to The Pirate Bay lads, who will relaunch the site in a few days, staying true to its original design. The return of a Legend.
