R.I.P. YouTorrent

[dcwilson]

Seems to only let you search "safe" (i.e., legal) Torrent repositories now. Even Mininova results appear to be filtered. Oh well. Was a nice service while it lasted.

Back in February Lifehacker mentioned PizzaTorrent as an alternative, but my attempts to connect just now aren't being met with success...hmm.

7 days to go until academic freedom...

isohunt still works.

Yeah, it's back to searching cites directly, instead of through aggregators.

What's wrong with Mininova?
http://www.mininova.org/search/?sourceid=Mozilla%20Search&search=there+will+be+blood
shows 105 torrents?

Oh yeah, searching Mininova directly still works, but if you go through YouTorrent it only shows legal (or "featured") torrents. I loved using YouTorrent as you could search isoHunt, PirateBay, Mininova, etc. all with one query, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore :(

Demonoid's back! :D

I really should sign up for Demonoid, or find a way to get an invite, haha.

I can hook you up. I just need a way to contact you... IM, email, whatever. Fire off something to me at burrfoot at gmail dot com. :D
