Suprnova.org dead for good

Depends on your client methinks.

The old (original) BitTorrent client is "teh suck", as the kids would say.
It was eating up all my bandwidth while transferring with a lower rate than any other client ever did.

i've tried bittornado and the built in bittorrent functionality in shareaza and they were both s l o w

It's most likely a user problem then.

I am so glad that filesharing is leagal in norway.
We can download whatever we want, and as long as you keep it to yourself its all ok.

Music sharing I know it legal for sure in Canada, I'm not sure about movies and games.

I use shareaza, and while it may be slow-ish, It's nice to have all your downloads listed with a progress bar on one page.

I'm just glad I've backed up all the warez I downloaded over the years.

My philosophy with gamez is this: I will (and have in the past) pay for a game if it's good and the people deserve the money. Many games don't offer a demo, so I just say "Nuts to you!" and download the full game to demo. Many games I've downloaded turned out not to interest me and so I stopped playing them because I got bored, and never bought the game.
Whenever I have money, I actually do go down to EBgames and buy games.

i used to use shareaza but i stopped using p2p programs completley and now i use forums for that kind of stuff

Hmm. Glad I stopped going to Suprnova. Happened around the time I started playing HL2 Deathmatch, in fact. Hmm.

It looks like some staff from www.torrentbits.org are making TB2.

The source of this information will remain anonymous for now.

I wonder if www.suprnova.org will come back.

I suppose you mean suprnova.org.
supernova.org seems to be a scam.

Source, please. I know that in several countries downloading the music is legal, as is here, because it's then publicly available. But sharing it is illegal, because you are giving people access to copyright-protected materials. If this is different in Canada, I'd like to see where this is docmented.

I hope so.

But it's a really good scam, it looks almost exactly like suprnova. Weird.

 

[Ashmo]

Apart from the registration that requires a credit card and charges you money.

Search "music sharing legal in Canada" in Google and you'll get something like this:

just so you guys know, many of suprnova's mirror sites are still up

http://www.bi-torrent.com/ for example

 

[Dove]

Yep, some of us know, but without suprnova getting new torrents in and sendin info out to the mirrors, it's just a snapshot of the day it died. Torrents still work though, but how long depends on how long their seeded.

Yea, thanks. I forget about that a lot as I use the bookmark in my favorites instead of typing the URL into the address bar in my browser. I also fixed the errors in my post.
