(Edit: For a more recent post on this topic go here.)
It seems that as soon as any good bittorrent download site comes up it gets hammered by a combination of massive traffic and DDoS attacks. Throw some slashdotting on top of that, and you get not very many usable sites. At least not for very long anyway.
If you are looking for links, a good place to start is btsites.tk. It gets updated frequently, and has links to most good torrent sites. Here are the ones I frequent currently. Some of these aren't up, but hopefully will return sometime soon.
If you have any other good ones, feel free to throw them in as comments.

What is that?
Is that what I think it is?!?
Why, I do believe so!
It's an advert!

Posted by: poo poo head at September 6, 2003 05:29 PMIt's been going up and down over time. More up than down. Just try reloading and see if it's just the mirror you are trying to get to is down or if it's whole domain.
