TRHR alerted us about Torrentbits closing down by using our news submission form. Aswell as Torrentbits, BitTorrent giant Suprnova.org has also decided to stop offering torrent files. The following is pasted from the Suprnova homepage.

Greetings everybody,
As you have probably noticed, we have often had downtimes. This was because it was so hard to keep this site up!
But now we are sorry to inform you all, that 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.
Thank you all that helped us, by donating mirrors or something else, by uploading and seeding files, by helping people out on IRC and on forum, by spreading the word about SuprNova.org.
It is a sad day for all of us!
Please visit SuprNova.org every once in a while to get the latest news on what is happening and if there is anything new to report on.
As we wish to maintain the nice comunity that we created, we are kepping forums and irc servers open.
Thank you all and Goodbye!
sloncek & the rest of the SuprNova Team

And on the Torrentbits homepage

Thanks to all users, uploaders, mods and donors for helping create the best torrent site on the net, but this is where the road ends for us.

Suprnova was probably the most known Torrent site on the net, and Torrentbits had a reputation for getting files very early and having Seeders with very fast uploading speeds.
Thanks to TRHR for alerting us about this.
