After years of hard work we decided to go for a new look here at TorrentFreak. Today we’re presenting you TorrentFreak version 5, the first real update of our design in 4 years. There will be plenty of bugs and complaints, so please bear with us.
We did it again. Despite being chronically understaffed we managed to get at least one article published on TorrentFreak every day in 2010.

Five years (and a day) ago, on November 12, 2005, TorrentFreak first saw the light of day. Since then we have published 3,392 articles, while our valued readers have written 243,982 comments. It’s been a great ride so far, thanks to all of you…
It’s time for TorrentFreak to get a 2009 makeover so we can hang out with the fashionably cool guys and gals again. So we need your help.

Just a couple of days ago we reported that the MPAA’s website was vulnerable to an XSS attack, which left it displaying torrents from The Pirate Bay. This time a flaw has been discovered in the RIAA’s site, which now allows it to display TorrentFreak’s latest articles.
This brand new episode of TorrentFreak TV is a Pirate Bay trial special covering the verdict and its implications. Aside from the latest file-sharing news we review the Tribler BitTorrent client and introduce a new segment called Your Words!
