AntiWinner22 Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 If you are in the know of current the P2P scene, you know it has been a couple of sad days. ShareReactor, the BEST place to attain things in the eD2K network, was shut down by authorities in Switzerland. They obtained his server and shut the site down. Jigle.com, hosted by ShareReactor, was a search engine for the eD2K network that worked MUCH better than the built-in one, has closed citing that since SR is shut down, itself must shut down as well. I, LOVER of Overnet Lite, am saddened and I just wanted to inform all of you of this step backward in achieving legal P2P. If you don't mind, I will go weep silently into my pillow before I cry myself to sleep... ShareReactor and Jigle.com... R.I.P. Anon.
Gryph Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Well you can take comfort in the fact that legit companies use Bit Torrent so no one can ever shut that down.
Fatal Rose Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 i am using overnet right now and i am still downloading stuff.
Alpha Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I'm confused..why were they shut down? Were they hosting illegal material?
Cominus Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 I have shareaza, so maybe thats why it's been going slow these past 2 days(it shares off on the ed2k network)
Wizard Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 I'm confused..why were they shut down? Were they hosting illegal material?Makes you think. They weren't technically hosting illegal material. Those ed2k links are like torrents. Suprnova would of been killed long ago also because ed2k and torrents and the thingy kazaa has - share the same meaning, relinking to something else.
Weirdy Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 ah well...I guess when our broadband isp's start putting taps for the FBI which will be pretty soon, I guess we will actually have to start buying our software
ForceX Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 NEVER!!!!!!!....... Damn FBI bastards...... R.I.P ShareReactor & Jigle.com...how we shall miss thee.....
taratata Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 I think we don't need to worry too much. We will always find a way to share and dl stuff. Take Napster for exemple: its closing has led to much more efficient p2p The FBI may sue a thousand people, it won't change anything. And as long as you're not one of the top uploaders you won't end in these thousand.
Weirdy Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 nonono, but the FBI wants to do with with all isps in the u.s. Which will probably include inspections of all comps which will probably be a real b¡tch for me seeing as how I like to download a lot of psx games and anime
