ExtraTorrent appears to come for small touch before throwing up a 503 service error and has seemingly been down for 23 hours. ExtraTorrent was among the popular torrent sites in 2014. It’s grown in size due to traffic , and it has moved up again in the top ten, now set as the 4th most- seen with torrent site by torrent ranking sites. This success did not go undetected by rightsholders groups like the MPAA who lately called ExtraTorrent among the best pirate websites out. While the admin says that the site’s a DDoS attack by unknown hackers, the real reason could be a takedown by a payback DDoS or authorities by the music and movie companies. Before Sony had supposedly undertaken a similar type of DoS attacks from sharing the files from the huge hack strike to halt the torrents websites. Reader may notice that just two days back around 13 mega Hollywood film screener variants being shared on torrent sites and were leaked. These films are thought to be prime Oscar award competitions which is one of the guild members or his or her associates might have leaked these screener variations.

It is a growing narrative and we’ll make sure that you remain updated.
