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.

Thank you for pointing this out. I felt like a complete dumb ass wondering what in hell was "The Penguin Bar" lolLOL'd at censored name.
In the age of DHT you can download "torrents" tracker-less and .torrent-less anyways, so I don't think it will cause any issues whatsoever.NOOOO, many torrent wont work now (or go slower)
;(
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.i have never seen the positives in torrents. it is the easies way to get caught downloading illegal things. i have my ways of finding things, and ill stick with that.
Yeah, that's what I thought too. But at least they aren't closing or anything.Lol, when I read the title I was afraid we were gonna be able to say its name soon!
I wouldn't be too bothered if they did, I don't use them much anyway.Yeah, that's what I thought too. But at least they aren't closing or anything.Lol, when I read the title I was afraid we were gonna be able to say its name soon!
