Yesterday there was a controversial movie torrent that was getting 1000s of downloads and was on the “popular this week” page, and today it’s just gone. I went to the uploader’s account page and it’s not there either. Just like it never existed.

I’m SUPER curious of the story behind what happened. Did the uploader take it down? 1337? Why?

EDIT: The movie was Lady Ballers 2023 (wasn’t sure if I was allowed to say) I did a little more research, and I think the copy the uploader put out was YTS but I don’t think they were affiliated with them. Maybe YTS told them to take it down? The movie is on their (YTS/YIFY’s) website.

      IPTorrents, private tracker, not well regarded due to management but has lots of content

        I would leave my laptop on 24/7 for years to make sure I seeded as much as possible on IPT. Then I wasn’t able to login or seed for a couple months and they locked my account. I went into their IRC to get it unlocked, and they said I should have logged in and could pay like $200 to get it unlocked. At the time I didn’t even have that much money in my account. I tried to reason with them, about how much I’ve uploaded and loved the site, and without a second response they just muted me and after a PM trying to talk to the guy they kicked and banned me from the IRC.

        FUCK IPTorrents.
