IsoHunt Shut Down?

psic writes "One of the most popular torrent search sites, IsoHunt, was taken down on tuesday. The owners of the site say that the move came from their ISP without prior notice, though it is probably linked with the MPAA's lawsuit against various torrent search sites earlier this year. They plan on moving ISPs from the US to Canada, and say that moving the servers so someplace like Sweden or Sealand is not an option, as they put it: "BitTorrent was created for legitimate distribution of large media files, and we stand by that philosophy as a search engine and aggregator."" This is a story we've heard before with other sites, only serving to further demonstrate that playing wack a mole with torrent aggregators isn't the solution to anything.

If they stayed in Ameeeeerica, they'd get instafucked by the **AA. I imagine they're moving to Canaaada to get around that. Or at least delay it. Or for poutines.

Try Q-Tips and rubbing alcohol. That'll fix up your stiiiiiicking keeeeeys. HTH
