2008-04-12 - I have some sad news to announce to all of you. IT will be closing down on Sunday. We hope to rise from the ashes like a fiery phoenix some day in the future but for the time being our run of free hosting has come to an end. It has been a great ride and I have had so much fun doing this. I will miss this and think back with fond memories. Drink a tall glass of cold beer and say goodbye to your good friend drewcifer.

A rubbish.

I just made two torrents up for that site as well...


:(((

anyone know why?


meaning

they've run out of money?

why don't they just put adverts up or something?


Boo hoo.

Are you going to have to pay for a record now?

Tough times.


^potd


Never usd it?

Fair enough.


:)


OBVIOUSLY

people should pay for what they listen to and support artists, but indietorrents was a pretty great resource for things you couldn't hope to buy, like limited releases, cd-rs and bootlegs. So it is a bit of a shame, much as i agree with your basic point


Shame, it was a pretty good reasource

though blog searching is the FUTURE!


i've noticed...

loads of blogs have been closed down recently. the most hilarious one was the guy who decided to make his invite only and you had to make a paypal donation to get an invite. as soon as everyone bought up all the invites he never posted another track again. he probarly went on holiday!


holy shit :(


this blows :(


oh dickflaps. :(


Meh

Waffles is better. Although indietorrents did have some nice cdr stuff on there, just fuck all in the way of techno or grime.


horses for courses

waffles is everything under one roof, whilst with indietorrents you can browse and find new music by reading descriptions/ratings, which waffles is way too big to do with.


How do you register for waffles?

Been on it before and it confused me!


it's invite only.

And always full, so when you have invites and want to invite someone, you cant because the userlimit has been reached.


Waffles

is utter wank compared to IT. :(


although

Demonoid is back!!!


Thanks for the Demonoid heads up

It's great to see it back!

I tend to stick with NZB's using Usenext for movies and TV but it's nice to have a decent back up and they always have a great selection of comics.


is it already dead?

can't get on it :(


i can occasionally

and the torrents are still working...


just crazy busy

because it's free leech.


Last I heard...

...the site may only be down for a few days. The main guy is leaving his job (where the server is located), so instead of free hosting, he now needs to pay $$$ to keep the site up.

Upon hearing this, he had $1500 in donations within the first couple of hours.

Hopefully thats got it covered for a while longer :)


$2000

......

2008-04-13 - Thanks for everything. You have given over $2000 in donations just today. There is no doubt we will be coming back as soon as possible. I knew people were passionate about this place but I had no idea how much. Big huggles to all of you, you make this worth it.
