"All Hands Hoay! Avast Ye" looks like the bay is closed

Hi all, just noticed that **** is unreachable.

It seems that a Swedish Court rulling from last February has played out
& Swedish ISP's have pulled the plug on the site, ready for the start
of a court case on monday against its owners.

Here's a few news links :-

I hope the guys don't Dance the Hempen Jig for what they've done.


:bawl:

 

Well, I can still reach their web site just fine...

 

Me too. I realize the the trial starts Monday, but the site is definitely up. All I know is that the scene releasers will be happy if the PB goes down. Direct DL FTW!!!

 

if they put it down just use opendns

when it happened in italy it worked fine

 

Yeah, but it's not down. Maybe he needs to check his router.

 

working quite fine here!

 

SR and PB are working fine here.

 

Checking now....

Odd I was able to access it yesterday...
Soz if I startled ya all.

Edit :- Okay I can access it through :-
****

Might be my ISP or god forbid my PC.
Time to go forensic...:3eyes:

 

What OS & browser are you using.

 

ah nuts. i mean... ah nuts

 

works fine for me lol ..

 

Whats sr? i need more sights if thats not a bogey around here.

 

P'Med

 

I didnt even notice it shut down

 

The servers are located out of Sweden and out of reach of law enforcement, meaning the site will likely stay online if the owners go behind bars.

 

lot of torrent sites and another will take its place in popularity anyway if and when it does eventually shut down, simple supply and demand.

no one critisizes usenext that charges money for its pirated warez?

 

That's why i use a private tracker.

Dididave ftw.

 

Works here, no problems. Maybe it doesn't work for you because your not as advanced in your internetaz as we are. hehe

 

Got it sorted.. my bad... lol

Thought sodit & re-installed XP.

Got Explorer 8 now too.
