Him being hacked is nothing to do with the site being down.
According to their IRC channel they're datacenter has just been screwing them around so they're moving to another one, and they'll be back soon enough.
Although that could be all bollox and he's just been hacked, but either way, looks like they'll be back in a week or so anyway

TVTorrents.com is great for getting TV episodes at full speed, if ST ever does disappear.

he is a cunt to be fair, but still doesnt deserve that. if people pay for supertorrents, they get upload, thats fair imho, nobody involved with the scene is non profit

ST has been really good for me, great enough speeds. I've worked up abit of a ratio, but of late they're having a lot of problems with their datacenter.
Hopefully it won't be a long term issue.

reading that... harsh imo...
I fucking hate people who hack / brute force / nick passwords (phish) etc...
Yes they're proving a point that it isn't secure, but can't they do it in a more professional / less dramatic way?
It's like me drilling holes in the bottom of a boat and then claiming 'I proved this boat is not secure enough, you need thicker steal on the bottom of the boat to prevent this'...
Same as the media who break into Windsor Castle to prove a point that it isn't secure enough... there will be always weaknesses in some things, it's just we don't need people to purposely constantly break it, to prove the point.
