TorrentFreak- KickassTorrents and EZTV, two of the most visited torrent sites on the Internet, have been down over the past few hours. The popular TV-torrent group is suffering from a DDoS attack, which may have hit Kickass.to and various other sites as well.
The popular KickassTorrents 'mirror' KAT.am is back online. After a brief suspension, the registry re-released the domain name for registration, allowing scammers to pick it up. While the site still appears to be a mirror, it asks people to sign up for an account with a credit card if they want to download something.
Ira Rothken has kept Megaupload founder free for years. Can he do it again?
The alleged founder and operator of the most popular torrenting site in the world, KickassTorrents (KAT), has been apprehend by the US authorities and the site's domains seized. However, as we learned with the campaign to stop The Pirate Bay, you just can't keep a good pirate site down. We've already spotted at least two clones of KAT, including one created by IsoHunt (KickassTorrents.website — a fairly limited mirror), and a second located at KAT.am.
I wouldn't say they ever died because only the major domain names were taken down and not the servers themselves. A quick DNS change and they're back up again.
Lol really? I guess there will always be a special place in my heart for piracy (from my poor teenage years) but really with the rise of streaming services, I find piracy to be almost irrelevant nowadays.
Seriously its so many great torrent sites that even if this one did get shut down(which will never happen) its plenty of other options.
I used Kickass many times to download movies to watch.
