After Megaupload BTjunkie Goes Down

2








We all know BTjunkie as one of the best BitTorrent search engine but not now, yes btjunkie is no
more. The site has been shut down due to obvious reasons. In the morning I have tried to access  BitTorrent  and I was shocked to see  the message (see the screen shot below) posted there.





Why it was Shocking for me? 

It was shocking for me as the site was never involved in any legal action unlike others such as
4shared, mediafire, the pirate bay etc.


For those who don't know what btjunkie is, BTjunkie is a web web crawler used to search for torrent
files from various torrent sites available. The sites has alexa rank of 390 and visited by millions of people daily.  See the screen shot below to view the details of BTjunkie.







It doesn't matter if US government was unsuccessful to implement sopa/pipa, they can still shut down sites like Megaupload and Btjunkie without sopa/pipa and acta.

I am greatly saddened by this, as I just tried to access bt junkie today. It has been my friend and favorite torrent site since it opened and it will be missed greatly. Although I do not personally know the creator/host of the site, I would like to extend my thanks to him or her. Goodbye btjunkie, and thanks for everything.

@AnonymousThat was sad for me too, as I was using both the pirate bay and btjunkie.
What's wrong with these people?
