The Pirate Bay's Oldest Torrent Is Revolution OS

Posted by samzenpus on from the back-in-the-day dept.

jrepin writes "After nearly 9 years of seeding The Pirate Bay's oldest working torrent is still very much alive. Interestingly, the torrent is not a Hollywood classic nor is it an evergreen music album. The honor goes to a pirated copy of Revolution OS, a documentary covering the history of Linux, GNU and the free software movement."

    The Pirate Bay's oldest working torrent is still very much alive

    In other news, the oldest living man is still alive, and the oldest standing structure hasn't yet fallen down!

    Not everyone lives in California.

    Okay, see, right there? You just lost 90% of Slashdot, either to blowing their minds out of their ears or to complete stodgy disbelief that the world ISN'T split into exactly four areas: California, Flyover Country, Japan, and Miscellaneous.

    I'm more impressed by the torrent of the whole geocities webpages (600GB+) with only one seeder.

    You wont want to, they smell bad and have no imagination at all. They tend to repeat the same thing over and over like a broken furby.
