Raid against ThePirateBay is FAKE

[Frequitude]

I just found out about this site a couple days ago, from none other than OOT. I saw a post in a Family Guy thread about it, and how it will *never* get shut down!!! I just saw the webpage and came here to reply to that comment but found this thread first.

I would have no way of knowing if this is real, so I didn't vote. I downloaded a torrent off the site yesterday. 2 questions.

1) Does the site being down have anything to do with connecting to the tracker? I got most of the download last night, but now BT won't connect to the tracker for it. (Sorry, I'm a BT newb)

2)If this is real, do I have anything to worry about since I d/l'd a torrent from them yesterday? (again, BT newb)

Thanks,
freq

Yes. These sites do not interest me.

I just found out about it too.

1. I think the trackers can connect to more than one site.
So you may still be able to use the torrent.
I'm only guessing though.

2. I wouldn't be too worried about downloading, but it depends where you are & what laws you have there.

Seems most of the sites get shut down as soon as i hear about them. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Living in Austria, moving home to Canada in a month. Torrent still won't connect. =( And to think at 83% last night I said "Well, I could wait 30 minutes and let it finish...nahhh, I"ll just go to bed and get the rest tomorrow". (small room, loud fan). booo
