ISOHunt.com's ISP Pulls The Plug
Found on DSL Reports on Tuesday, 16 January 2007
Dozens of users have written in to inform us that ISOHunt, one of the Internet's largest BitTorrent trackers, has been taken offline by its ISP.
The MPAA and RIAA began a legal campaign against ISOHunt and other similar sites early last year. Many of the targeted sites immediately folded, but ISOHunt remained open -- and immensely popular. While the folks at ISOHunt claim the - - AA's were responsible for the takedown, there's been no independent confirmation that it wasn't just ISP incompetence or technical difficulty.
Update: Looks like they've settled on Cogent as their new provider, and are slowly getting back online.
ISOhunt should be thankful for all the PR they are getting through this; their traffic will skyrocket, just like it did for Piratebay when they got raided.
