What happened to superseeds.org (January 2013)?

[James M]

I've been checking every few hours with websitedown.info and as of yet it still hasn't been up for over a week. I loved the site as well and miss it. xspeeds.com is still invitecode only. As many of my SS buddies have no idea how to get in touch with me outside of SS, I don't expect to be invited. Last year the servers did go down, but it only went down for a day. The site owner has been getting donations for almost 2 years now. If you're going to take the money and run, you do so quickly. So, that's not why the site is down. I do believe it is probably due to DCMA issues, as copyright "owners" have been sneaking around to get torrents shut down. However, if they shut torrenting down the file sharing community will simply move to a new format. That's what happened to Napster, Kazaa, mIRC, and Limewire.
