Yeah, I think it's an ongoing battle with copyright people, DDoS attacks (from who knows where), and of course the huge traffic surge that hits as soon as a site becomes popular. But there will always be torrent sites. The quality will vary from time to time, but there's just so much demand that people can't help but try to put up sites.
For links try:

http://www.btsites.tk/
Looks like some of the good sites left are:
http://torrentreactor.com/
http://www.suprnova.org/
http://www.torrents.us/
http://www.sharelive.com/ (follow the bittorent link at the bottom)
The only one of these I've used regularly is suprnova, but I'm sure the others will pick up as sites like torrentse.cx and bytemonsoon go down.
Posted by ramk at July 16, 2003 08:18 PManyone know whats going on with suprnova?...is it the same thing as the other sites (attacks, high demands, and legal issues?). even if that is the case id like to know so i can decide if i want to go back to a peer to peer with a wider user base or to something else all together....anyway...any insight would be cool
