Torrent(dot)eu Has Also Gone Down Just Like Kat(dot)cr

This year has really shown much interest to torrents sites and it seems it has a lot of stuff's for torrent users, recently I wrote an article about the shut down of one of the most popular torrent website Kickass Turrent and also announced a mirror that came up after the original one went down. Another popular Torrents website, Torrentz(dot)Eu has mysteriously gone down.

It has been exactly sixteen days since US Department of Justice announced the arrest of Kickass Torrents’ admin in Poland and seizure of KickassTorrents domains like Kat(dot)cr. Now, Torrentz(dot)eu, the Internet’s biggest BitTorrent meta-search engine, just went down, according to messages displayed on its home page.

Torrentz was a free, fast and powerful meta-search engine combining results from dozens of search engines.

Trying to run a search, or clicking any link on the site changes that message to 

Torrentz will always love you. Farewell.

Its not just the most popular Torrentz(dot)eu domain, in fact, all Torrentz domains feature the same page. This includes the Torrentz backups .ME, .CH, and .IN. The site’s HTTPS version features the same messages.

The site was launched in July 2003 by an individual named Flippy. The site’s purpose was to index torrents from several large portals and aggregate all the different trackers. This allowed users to download torrent files with multiple trackers in their source, speeding up downloads and preventing dead links in case servers went down.
