Following a decision to shut down its tracker in November 2009, file-sharing titan The Penguin Bar now says it is completely abandoning .torrent downloads a month from now and instead will only provide so-called magnet links.

It's one of the easiest systems to automate downloads for, and pretty good for large groups of files. Great for things like weekly TV releases and maybe downloading complete seasons, but beyond that it really is an inconvenience.
