KP333 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 ExtraTorrent, one of the world's largest torrent indexes, has lost control of its main domain Extratorrent.cc. The domain name has been disconnected by the registrar, which has rendered the site hard to reach. However, it's still accessible through several backups. With millions of daily visitors ExtraTorrent is the second largest torrent site, trailing only behind The Pirate Bay. The site’s popularity puts it in the crosshairs of various entertainment industry groups, who put pressure on hosting companies and domain name services to take action. As a result, ExtraTorrent has now lost control over it primary domain ExtraTorrent.cc. Since this morning the site’s domain has become unreachable around the world, and a whois search reveals that this is due to a “clienthold” status. This status is set by the domain registrar, Internet BS in this case, and informs the registry not to activate the DNS. As a result, the website in question will be inaccessible. ExtraTorrent.cc Whois We have seen this status on suspended domains before. According to ICANN the clienthold tag is uncommon and “usually enacted during legal disputes, non-payment, or when your domain is subject to deletion.” TorrentFreak reached out to the registrar Internet BS for a comment on the situation, but the company informed us that they can’t reveal any information regarding the domains of their customers to a third party. It’s likely, however, that the company suspended the domain after complaints from copyright holders. Internet BS previously disconnected the domain of another torrent site, BitTorrent.pm, fearing that it could be held liable for facilitating copyright infringement. While ExtraTorrent has now lost its primary domain name, the site is still available through various backup domains such as Extra.to. The site’s operator hasn’t yet responded to our request for comment, but it’s likely that the site will pick an official new domain in the near future.

No wonder there trying too shut them down they went overkill trying too make money on ads that site is nasty! I have a list with all the open torrent sites there's 100s still open wouldn't it be better to use one that's not in the news all the time?

You're being tracked when you go there. have fun with that. You telling me that i dont use enough stuff when you're not even using enough protection to know there fingerprinting you ? because I test it in all my browsers and if you use Canvas Defender or CanvasBlocker the site dont work ! <div class="img-container"><canvas width="22" height="22" title="22px × 22px"></canvas></div> <canvas width="20" height="20" title="20px × 20px"></canvas> Why do I want to disable that and let them track me when there's sites were I dont have allow JavaScript at all to download a torrent?

It use too be a good site back around 2012 when it never made the news I use debird to direct link mostly and i just go to one of the torrent search engines and grab a torrent and sometimes i get one from rarbg . I hardly ever crank up a torrent client anymore since 2012 even though i have a paid vpn service lol . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about Juggs and Sam the admins at ET they upload there releases to many torrent sites so nothing they post there is exclusive that's posted in public, there releases also be on the private site i belong too as well . There's many sites were I can keep a site blocked with Noscript also i use policeman , UBO and a popupblocker , canvas blocker and user scripts , also i use other tweaks to prevent from being tracked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are better alternatives out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
