All those who swear by the internet and its perks, brace yourselves. Popular online torrent website Torrentz has officially shut down operations.
A few weeks back, Kickass Torrents’ creator was arrested for infringement of piracy laws. It was the second website to go down after The Pirate Bay (although Pirate Bay proxies soon went live across the internet). Torrent websites across the world are being hunted down by the federal government over copyright issues. Perhaps that’s what got Torrentz as well.
The website is still around but now carries a rather emotional message for downloaders. It says and I quote, “Torrentz was a free and powerful meta-search engine”. Was. *insert sad emoticon*
