Hi all,

Today is an important day in the history of Mininova. From now on, we are limiting Mininova.org to our Content Distribution service. By doing so, we comply with the ruling of the Court of Utrecht of last August.

Unfortunately the court ruling leaves us no other option than to take our platform offline, except for the Content Distribution service. According to the verdict (Dutch link) we have to prevent uploads of torrents to Mininova that refer to certain titles or to similar-looking titles. We’ve been testing some filtering systems the last couple of months, but we found that it’s neither technically nor operationally possible to implement a 100% working filter system. Therefore, we decided that the only option is to limit Mininova to Content Distribution torrents from now on. We are still considering an appeal at this moment.

Well, I still don’t understand what that means… They’re going to share files that no one want to download or have better sources of getting? In other words, Mininova is NO MORE! Sigh! I’ve been using their services for a while now and I love the way all the torrents are organised and the search engine within the site and its navigation is really simple and straight forward.

You know, you can close down Mininova today, and tomorrow Not-So-Mini-Nova will pop up again. So good luck trying to sue them all. It’s not that I support piracy, I like buying original games and watching DVDs, but some things are better downloaded. Like subtitled animes and TV shows.

For now, these are some sites you can still grab your torrents in a safe and organized manner:
