SCT is closing down , Is it just the begining ?

[thianpa]

well atleast SCC is still alive

[Sp32]

Torrents are awful, never used torrents never plan on using them

[killer]

Usenet is an alternative source (to warez and to people) if you care about pre times and speed.

Mininova died, people switch to tpb, kickasstorrents (I predict that one a great future), isohunt, etc ...
ScT died, people switch to TL, SCC ...

What's the big deal?

The Coon: 100 MB/s and 100 mbps isn't the same 100 MB/s is reachable with well seeded torrents, two SSD disks in raid 0 and 1 gbps line. That's not really what most leechers on ScT have.

Well yeah, I meant 100MB/s actually. I don't know, but most leechers at ScT definately downloaded hella fast . Also notice their image, seeding CoD MW2 with 198MB/s
Anyway, filehosts are just.. annoying. Sometimes I try to download a tv show.. I get 30 dead links first before a working one, and then have the bad luck of being on a slow rapidshare server and download with 300kb/s. Waste of my fast internet line at home.. (plus the 8 euros). Torrents (or usenet, but I dislike the fast file deleting which results in incomplete downloads) simply rule. You see before downloading the torrent how many seeds there are (for public torrents) thus you can 'guess' if the torrent's gonna be fast or not. And it's 100% free and no bw limits. You're not gonna get busted for downloading a few movies (about the IP viewable in public part).

By now most of you already know that ScT will be going offline permanently.

However, due to pending legal issues, we are not at liberty to speak freely about why we've chosen to take down the site.
Members of our staff were arrested and will be undergoing the entire length of the judicial process.
Obviously, in the case of criminal proceedings, it would be downright foolish to comment any further on the situation;

Please bear this in mind and wish them the best of luck.



There have been several theories as to where the donation money (of the recent months) has gone. We'd like to take this opportunity to put all skepticism to rest.
The money was used to purchase new hardware that would ensure our spot as the fastest tracker on the net.
You are free to perform whatever calculations you feel necessary, but in doing so it should become very clear that running a site of this stature costs money.
We feel the overwhelming cynicism is just a product of bad timing compounded with general frustration caused by the current situation.


We sincerely hope that you've enjoyed being a part of our wonderful community over the past 4 1/2 years.
We've certainly enjoyed our members letting us be of service. We've always felt our user base played an equally important role in making SceneTorrents.org a model environment in the torrent world.


The staff would also like to express their gratitude to fellow trackers for their support in such a chaotic time. Several well known communities have voluntarily opened their doors, and have offered our former users a new home.
We appreciate the courtesy and acknowledge the steps being taken to move forward collectively as a community. Your assistance does not go unrecognized.

Usenet will be the new internet warez-heaven anonymus, speeds that cant be touched by rapidshare or torrents. And you can find anything on it!
