It's really easy to find.
From the site redirect I found on google...
To you, the faithful #tvtorrents/tvtorrents.net user:
By now, you're aware that the tvtorrents.net website has been
unavailable for the past several days. Rumors have been spread
that this is due to the RIAA/MPAA/CRIA/ad nauseum "hacking us"
or DDoSing us. While that may be the case, those groups have
nothing to do with the downtime we've been experiencing.
To give a brief synopsis of what's happened so far (please forgive
me if this is incorrect; I am strictly going by memory):
- 2 days ago, the front-end for the site went down
- We posted a single torrent (House) to tide some users over, also
in an effort to prove that we were not completely gone, but simply
having some connectivity issues
- Yesterday, we posted a directory listing on a temporary site of
all .torrents being tracked by our trackers
- We were also able to recover a copy of hive (our new web frontend
software) from a backup, which we then posted at the regular website
address
- After about 10-15 minutes of having the temporary site up, Apache
starting eating up megabyte after megabyte of RAM, followed in short
order, by the swap file on the server
- Slowly but surely the webserver that was simply forwarding the
requests to our new web-frontend (not the web-frontend itself) ate
up all physical and virtual memory causing the box to essentially
stop responding
Which leaves us at the present. We have done some more testing, and
believe we have hive at a point where it is almost ready for public
access. We also have 2 machines which are almost ready to serve as
hives, however, we aren't making the site public yet.
Why, you might ask?
1) We want to stress test hive a little more
2) We would like to add at least 2 more hives into the cluster
Both of these choices simply come down to the fact that we've already
left you, the user, with enough downtime as it's been. By being able
to run through more bug testing, and have a few more online servers
(essentially acting as load balancers), we will be able to minimize
any future downtime as there will not be a single point of failure.
While we appreciate the irony in the fact that we are doing it now,
it is imminent that if we don't do it now, it WILL happen later, and
we are all of the belief that we continue the downtime right now, and
carry out a long, downtime-free future.
For those of you who would like to help: we are currently in need of
at least 2 more machines capable of running the hive software. The
machine would have to have a minimum of a 1GHz processor and no less
than 128MB of RAM. It will also need to be running some form of the
Linux or BSD kernel, with SSH, gcc, libmysqlclient, mysqld, apache,
and php (of which we'd need at least apache tunable for us).
Bandwidth requirements will decrease as more hives are added, but at
the present time, assume a minimum 1mbit constant upstream; meaning
home broadband users are not eligible at this time. If you believe
you can help out, please msg an op in the <a href="irc://irc.efnet.org/#tvtorrents">channel</a> ASAP to get the ball
rolling; the sooner we have these hives, the sooner we'll be open for
business again.
To summarize, we have not been hacked, the MPAA is not after any of
us (that we're aware of), and we will be back up and running soon.
Ultimately, we run this site to see you guys happy. We dedicate a
lot of time to this project, and we're just as upset about the
downtime as you are, but if you bear with us, we will be back, better
than ever, very, very soon.

Edit: wtf, forget it, tvtorrent is coming back

Just finished downloading a 10 Gig torrent of the entire classic TMNT series (Seasons 1 - 10) just in time by the looks of it! Man I wish they'd release it on DVD. Would buy it in an instant.

Well the quality isn't the best but where else could I possibly get the ENTIRE series of the classic TMNT series? There is talk of Season 2 being released sometime next year on DVD but other then that I've heard nothing about the entire series becoming available to buy.
Each episode is between 55 MB and 65 MB.
"It has been more then a week since SuprNova.org went down. We are sorry that we have not updated the site with more recent news, but we have been very busy.
Anyway, we will soon be making an announcement. Announcement will be made on NovaStream.org radio on 30th December around 10 PM CET (9 PM GMT, 4 PM EST).
"
I think eXeem is coming out.

I can't wait to see Exeem. This is the first application I've ever seriously anticipated, most things I just stumble upon. I saw a mini-review of a beta and it had some pretty cool new features.

phucket. The file was updated recently to include both versions of the black album - with and without vocals. never mind.
So, to change my request, does anyone know where to download some of the black album remixes?

so, yeah, those remixes. I saw one the other day where they remixed Prince's Purple Rain album with the black album. Looked intersting but they wanted like $15 to download it. meh.
The announcement so far:
Exeem is coming out, but not now. The first release will be a public beta, which is coming soon. Exeem is an ad-based program, so there will be ads. Apparantly, most can be disabled.
It's not being developed for Linux or Mac currently.
It runs on a 200MHz machine with 128MB RAM.
10 downloads take up ~10MB RAM.
Suprnova will have links to it when it comes out, as will exeem's site (which will be coming in a few weeks)
Every file downloaded can be rated. When you look at a file, you'll be able to see how many people voted it OK or Not Good. Comments will be with every file. These will allow you to say what codecs the file needs and whatnot.

Torrents still work, if they are active -I still have My non-copywrited(ish) comics seeded, and someone is still downloading Miracleman off me.
I think this new system points to the torrents-- torrents are still one of best ways to distribute large files.
I was thinking today how I went four years or so without really watching TV, till I downloaded 24 and then bought it.. the same goes for Firefly that hipped me to Buffy (thank you internet) and currently Veronica Mars did the same thing. Being able to download comics got me back into the habit, and writing them again-- so for me atleast I am pretty sure the culture industry has made a mint off of me.
