It's back up, but Kanga is shutting aussietorrents down.
"Hi Everyone,

This is a brief message to let everyone know the situation.

I've been running this forum since August 2005 and have enjoyed every minute of it. Having recently started a new job however, i no longer have the amount of spare time required to give this forum the attention it demands.

Consequently, i will be closing aussietorrents.com permanently in the next week or so.

I'm well aware of the lifeline this site offers to people overseas, and plans are in place to handover all of the forum content to one of the long time moderators for him to run as he sees fit. This means our forum will be run by a new Admin, on a new server and with a new domain name. We will attempt to keep downtime and confusion to a minimum.

Rest assured you will be kept informed of any developments, and hopefully the site can keep growing well into the future.

diwana.org - Updates will be provided regarding the future of diwana.org early next week. For now, torrents remain accessable via the links in the aussietorrents Release threads.

Note that this has virtually nothing to do with the recent Underbelly nonsense published in some newspapers. It has been brewing for awhile, and a major change is in fact well overdue.

I'll be keeping the aussietorrents.com domain active, and intend to launch something else in the next few months (much smaller than this, most likely a blog or something more personal). Feel free to email me to keep in touch, kanga at aussietorrents dot com

I have several thank yous to say to people, but will leave that until next week. This thread will be locked for now, but i'll reopen it in a few days to give people a chance to comment.

In closing, don't worry about the site disappearing. The forum will continue but without yours truly at the helm."
