The Pirate Bay down|Aftermath of the tornadoes in Southern Ontario

It seems that The Pirate Bay is down, and possibly for a good while. To quote wikipedia, "On 24 August 2009, a Swedish court ordered the largest ISP to the Pirate Bay, Black Internet to shut the site down to which they complied. But after a brief break of 3 hours the DNS was relocated and the site came back online." The site did in fact come back online as I used it, but it has since gone back down. There are rumours that you will now have to pay to use the site, so it may be down to get fitted for that type of usage. Back to using isoHunt, Mininova and btjunkie!

EDIT: Good news! The Pirate Bay has been quoted saying they are "relocating their site to another ISP and are only suffering technical difficulties." Hopefully them Swedes will get it sorted out soon and fast.

In case you didn't hear, a cold front ripped through Southern Ontario last Thursday, and spawned 4 confirmed tornadoes. ......

Where the hell did FLAWL3SS go?

If anyone can give me a reliable link to a list of rips that FLAWL3SS has released, that would be great. They've stopped posting on thepiratebay.org as well as mininova.org. There's a bunch on isohunt and btjunkie, but they can't be filtered.

Torrent's getting stuck at 99.x% ?

Hopefully this will help out ALOT of people who are having problems with torrents, usually audio/mp3 torrents getting stuck at 99.x%. If this occurs, simply stop the torrent from downloading, then choose 'manual hash check'. Once completed, start the torrent up again and it should complete within 30 seconds.
