BitTorrent Community After SuprNova Shutdown

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday February 4, 2005 @05:47PM from the community-is-a-strong-word dept.

prostoalex writes "Folks from MonkeyMethods.org have researched the BitTorrent world after many popular destinations (SuprNova among others) have been shut down. Since BitTorrent always relied on the presence of trackers and servers hosting them, MonkeyMethods decided to see whether the shutdown impacted the BitTorrent community. So has the shutdown of centralized SuprNova had any impact? "In this case, centralization is a feature, not a necessity. Just look at del.icio.us most popular and you'll see BitTorrent sites every couple days, as people uncover new places to find the files they're looking for.""

I used to break into Safeway. Then they installed alarms. Now I break into Albertson's and I get much better groceries. It just goes to show the COPS/PIGS that when they stop me breaking into one store, I break into another and probably get better stuff. This is the same as Vons was to Stater Brothers.

I understand that Albertson's was around while Safeway had no alarms, but I never broke in. Now I break in.
