One of the world's biggest torrent sites has abruptly shut down
Torrentz, a search engine for finding torrent files has ceased operations, telling users: "Torrentz will always love you. Farewell."
The site, founded in 2003, differs from many other torrent sites (like The Pirate Bay) in that it doesn't host any torrent files itself. Instead, it acts as a "meta-search engine," searching other search engines for whatever the user is looking for.
Torrentfreak, which was the first to report on its closure, says it was the largest meta-search engine for torrents around.
If you go to Torrentz' website now, it has a banner along the bottom informing visitors that "Torrentz was a free, fast and powerful meta-search engine combining results from dozens of search engines."
If you try to search for anything, or click on a link, it is replaced with a new message: "Torrentz will always love you. Farewell."
