End of suprnova
Suprnova.org, a popular torrent file tracker of the BitTorrent application, took down all of their torrents hosted on the website. The suprnova.org operators announced that they will no longer host any torrent files. It is unknown at the moment if this was related to the recent MPAA’s awake to target torrents largest movie sharing library. Torrent traffic takes up more than 35% of the internet. BitTorrent was written by Bram Cohen and was to target large files which are difficult and expensive to host on a single website. Instead, a small (few kilobytes) file is placed for peers to download that tracks everyone in a virtual pool of data, while everyone downloads pieces of a given file from one another. While supernova.org was unavoidably a victim of piracy it also provided legal downloads such as large distributions of open source applications and operating systems like Linux.
