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.""

Exeem is the declared heir to the SuprNova throne. But yeah there are new Bittorent trackers opening up daily.
Conclusion: BT is not going anywhere anytime soon.

  well, there is exeem lite at http://www.exlite.net/ if spyware is a problem, and exeem maintains the integrity of the files just like Bittorrent did, and plus it has a ranking system for files, so fake files will just get a low rank, and not be downloaded --kp
