SuprNova.org is to stop hosting torrent files on its site. "SuprNova is closing down for good in the way that we all know it. We do not know if SuprNova is going to return, but it is certainly not going to be hosting any more torrent links. We are very sorry for this, but there was no other way, we have tried everything." BitTorrent sites (SuprNova especially) have been facing legal pressure from the RIAA, and more recently, the MPAA (Movie Picture Association of America) is trying to stop movie pirates from distibuting material. A few BitTorrent sites have been raided by police in Europe.
BitTorrent traffic accounts for more than half of all P2P internet traffic.

Update
There are rumors of a new BitTorrent app in the works, named Exeem. People from SuprNova.org are creating what they call a "decentralized network" where individuals share torrents- it will "completely replace SuprNova.org; no more web mirrors, no more bottle necks and no more slow downs."
