Yeah, TorrentSpy was my first torrent site. It was perfect for everything, and I’ll miss it dearly. Sure, TorrentReactor is a fine site, as are The Pirate Bay, Torrentz, and countless others, but TorrentSpy felt, well, comfortable. It almost ALWAYS had what I was looking for, and it was easy to browse and/or search for downloads. Before all the ads at least, it was clean, mostly uncluttered, and overall very professional looking for a torrent site. It had lots of information for P2P “n00bs”, like a comparison of BitTorrent clients, help with download and upload issues, information on etiquette and legal policies, etc.

I say let’s make the torrentspy.com domain a tribute to the old TorrentSpy. Maybe even an information page, with everything needed for anyone to enter and continue torrent downloads and uploads, such as downloads for BitTorrent clients (with detailed reviews), tutorials on using and creating torrents, an FAQ about torrents and P2P in general, plenty of information about self-defense in legal situations, more information on how to avoid those situations, and links to popular torrent sites and/or a torrent download section. This will help those P2P newbies when they’re starting out so they can escape the same legal issues that TorrentSpy faced before it’s too late.

RIP TorrentSpy

You guys , dont think Justin settled for some type of undisclosed amount .. I mean holding onto the site this long , blocking off all US and allowing all of Europe to leech “wasnt getting enough revenue,” haha thats funny , i’m sure Justin looks at this way , ok , i rode this out while everyone shares content, WHICH SHOULD BE LEGAL! Now courts are hounding him even tho there is no law against what other countries do! Soo the big guys have a seat with Justine and tell him ” we could spend months and years in court and waste money OR we could settle here for Blah Blah amount as long as you don’t tell anyone we settled with you so it looks as we have won the copywrite law suit.

Justin i know the money is worth it and a man gets greedy but you could of faught for us little guys the guys who believe in P2P Shareing. People don’t understant once you let the government control one thing then it will control another and another and another until people go, WAIT A MIN. THE GOV IS TAKING OUR RIGHTS AWAY.

p2p is a right , if we abuse file sharing illegally such as people who sneak into movie theaters to film a movie that isn’t released.
HELLO UNETHICAL, Hire people within the company to monitor the site, if its illegal erase it. Ban the person from the site ( IP ADDRESS , MAC ADDRESS) all this law suit shit back and fourth stupid you can’t prove anything becuase the consitution and Internet law (government) are combined together people would just go back and fourth. If you Agree post

(P2P Forever) at the bottom!

Let’s hope they will return like SuprNova did… maybe it’s not closed that ‘permanently’ as they said ;-)

Torrentspy wasn’t bad, the design and the commenting sections were designed very well indeed.

torrents sites are all getting fucked! time will come when all torrent sites we depend on will be no longer existing thus we have to suffer buying things or not being able to get the stuff we do like videos,movies,music,pictures,program and stuff etc…

I have been using Bit Torrent since its first public releases and I have seen the rise and fall of many good sites.

Who here has even heard of Torrents.se?

complete and total B.S. The movie industry needs no more money than what they’re raking in already, they make plenty from theaters and stuff. The only industry that is hit really hard by torrent sites is the Music industry, whose primary source of income, selling Cd’s, is at major risk, but its complete bull that the movie industry needs more money.
