Popular BitTorrent file sharing site Kickass Torrents (sometimes also knows as KAT or KAT.cr) is down after the arrest of the site’s owner Artem Vaulin, who is reportedly 30-years-old and hails from Kharkiv, Ukraine.

Vaulin was arrested earlier today in Poland by the U.S. authorities and is now being charged for his involvement in criminal copyright infringement and money laundering. The U.S. Government is now also seeking his extradition to the U.S. from Poland.

Seems true... cant get onto the domain at all...If KAT’s domains remain down, as they are right now, clones of KAT will start appearing online. We’ll recommend everyone to stay clear of all such clone sites as they could have malicious intent of infecting your computer.

According to the court complaint documents, investigators had a breakthrough when one posed as a potential advertiser on the site, and combined this information with data handed over by Apple that allegedly successfully cross-referenced an IP-address used for an iTunes transaction with another used to login to KAT's Facebook account.

The official complaint reads: "Records provided by Apple showed that tirm@me conducted an iTunes transaction using IP Address 109.86.226.203 on or about July 21, 2015."

Kim Dotcom plans 2017 relaunch of Megaupload

Net entrepreneur Kim Dotcom plans to relaunch the Megaupload web storage system in January 2017.

The original Megaupload file-sharing site proved enormously popular and was thought to have about 50 million users a day at its peak.
It was shut down in 2012, following accusations by the US that copyright pirates made heavy use of it.
The new service would reinstate the accounts of all former users of the original Megaupload, said Mr Dotcom.
No limits
Plans for the revived Megaupload were revealed in a series of tweets by the German-born entrepreneur, who now lives in New Zealand.
He said it would be formally launched on 20 January - five years to the day since his home was raided by police investigating the "massive" amount of pirated material available via Megaupload.
Since the raid, Mr Dotcom has waged a lengthy legal battle to fight accusations that he profited from others abusing Megaupload and to recover the assets seized at the time.
He is also fighting attempts to extradite him to the US to face trial over his control of Megaupload.
The tweets suggest that the new Megaupload service will involve the Bitcoin virtual currency.
However, it is not clear whether it is being used as a payment system or as a way to track what people share via the service.
It is also not clear how accounts created on the original service will be reinstated.
Mr Dotcom wrote that emails would be sent to former users when the service was ready for them to rejoin it.
Mr Dotcom has also said the 2017 version will:
give people 100GB of storage
have no data-transfer limits
let people synchronise all their devices to it
As well as sending messages about the new service, Mr Dotcom issued an appeal to former Megaupload staff to get in touch to help bring it to life.
In the years since the raid, Mr Dotcom has dabbled in New Zealand politics and launched a separate file-sharing and storage service called Mega.
He resigned from Mega's board of directors in 2013, and since then the company's other investors have taken control and run it separately.

Yup.. tru dat. I jumped to Extratorrent one time. Gonna take some time for KAT to come back online 100%... unless they get pulled again. Maybe they might be safe for a while seeing as they jumped to Armenia.

Slightly off topic but still relevant ... imho ... How many of you guys use VPN's?

To keep your torrenting activities hidden from your ISP's prying eyes.

I don't bother to use VPNs at home. If I'm out and I hop onto an open or public network, I enable my VPN

I'm surprised nobody talking about private torrent sites though. I can't remember the last time I used KAT.
