TorrentSpy Voluntarily Closes

Another one bites the dust

The content industry can scratch another notch into its legal gun this week, after BitTorrent tracker TorrentSpy announced that it has voluntarily shut down as of last Monday.

Bah. I never liked torrentspy much actually :/
Shame it's closing down though. Torrenting's the last good P2P file transfer method we've got left, when that's gone we aren't gonna be able to share our legal files easily with the world

*cough.*

Torrentspy always sucked, I could never stand their layout and abundance of fake torrents or trojans/viruses.

Torrent Finder is the best. It searches all the best torrrent sites for you. But I will stick with newgroups.
