TTi taken down etc.

Today TTi was taken down by the swedish APB (Swedish anti piracy agency). The site had about 25k users and were sharing about the same amount of torrents. Seems like running a torrent tracker in Sweden nowadays is getting harder and harder.

Raids against two file-sharers
The police did during Tuesday raids against two people in Växjö and Borås suspected of copyright infringement. The operation was directed against the site www.tti.nu.
According to prosecutors to site www.tti.nu have made ​​available thousands of works, including films, using Bittorrent technology. Servers suspected to contain the site’s tracker, database and web site have been seized. Two people sitting on Tuesday arrested but has now been placed on large. Both deny the crime. According to prosecutor Frederick Ingblad, more people are assumed to have been involved in the operation of the site. Notice that led to the raid was made ​​by the APB.

On another note, a user has notified us about TBH's (The Black Hand) former CN's (Cosa Nostra) non existence. We've been waiting for their v2 tracker of TBH for almost half a year. We have not heard anything nor do we expect to hear anything soon. So we hereby declare CN/TBH dead once and for all.

IMAGiNE release group busted - UtN tracker gone

The Imagine movie release group has been busted. Apparently 4 of their 9 members has been arrested by the police. Their website: Unleash the net has been taken down and no new releases has been seen since.

Starting a tracker and selling VIP accounts for members to acquire the newest releases might have been a real bad idea. Sad to see a prosperous group and nice tracker go down like this. More info on TorrentFreak.

Skittles is on the 'being evaluated' list again. Until someone can send us an updated print screen of a page from the Skittles tracker with dates and number of torrents it will stay there.

Elite level 10 tracker closed down. Plus UK-T ressurection.

The biggest and one of the oldest level 10 trackers that has gone through quite a few domain and name changes during the last decade has sadly enough closed down.

Other news is that new (old) UK-Two joins the list at level 7. Former old elite tracker UK-t(orrents) has opened up once again after it's death some months ago because of a CD/DVD seller who named UK-t as his online supplier of copied material when he was caught. This is apparently not just a copy cat by people not related to the old site. As it turns out some of the old staff is running the site. And quite a few of the old members recieved invitations.
Recently there has also been invites  handed out to all members:
UK-two has given everyone invites for limited time
Invite a friend weekend
Lots of new stuff going on in the background people, more about that over the next 48 hrs
In the meantime we are going to have an “invite a friend” weekend, invites have been give out as follows:
User 1 Invite
PU up 2 Invites
Uppers 3 Invites
Invites are available on your accounts now for a limited time, as ever please take care to invite people you can trust and who will be active on site.

Other changes to the list are: FTN up one level to level 8. Ts-Tracker up one level to level 7. x264 up one level to level 6. CHDBits gets a lot of requests so it moves up two levels to level 5.
