Goodbye, Pirate Bay. Hello, Pirate Bay. Someone has put it to use: you can find a fully functional copy of the Pirate Bay over at btarena.net.

The new site is not exactly the same as the old one, and some of The Pirate Bay’s functions, such as links to related content, are missing, but who cares? It works, and the torrents are there, so users can keep visiting the new site almost as if nothing has changed.

Of course, whether the new site will remain as popular as the original Pirate Bay (new torrents will be tracked via tracker.btarena.org) remains to be seen, but the simple fact has once again been proven: you can turn one torrent tracker off, but new ones will always appear and take over. The entertainment industry would do well if they stopped bothering with lawsuits towards individual services and started working on being competitive in light of new marketplace rules, brought forth by the internet.

BtReAnnouncer is a must-have app for every torrent downloader. If you have been a long time torrent user then I bet you’re familiar with the situation when your download gets stucked at about 90% due to absence of seeds. btReAnnounceR has a solution to that.

It brings dead torrent back to life by searching for trackers following the same torrent. When it finds alternative torrents, it lets you create a new .torrent file where you can specify the primary and alternate tracker yourself. And finally use this .torrent file to find additional peers that are seeding the same content.

BitLet is a web service that utilizes a Java applet that lets you download torrent files onto your computer.

All you need to do is copy and paste the URL of the torrent file on the homepage of BitLet and you’ll be able to download the file. Simple as that.

Publishers can also use BitLet to create a direct link that people can click on to begin the downloading process immediately, which is perfect for blogs and emails.
