torrentfreak.com — Norbits, the largest Norwegian BitTorrent tracker is going through some rough times. For several days now, the site has been offline due to a DDoS attack. The site has allegedly been hacked by a group called MORRADi, which is threatening to publish all IPs and more information on the users, unless the tracker is closed.

I think everyone forgets that the source for nearly all our wares comes from top-sites which are FTP servers. As things are released, they trickles down the food-chain until they are no longer being shared on FTP, but now with P2P applications like BitTorrent. It is necessary to keep the multi-part .RAR files, but not in 1.44MB like you suggest, 15 or 50MB is usually fine. As AllyOfReason mentioned Usenet works best with multi-part RARs too.

Boo hoo. Don't act like you own the content. Don't you wish the end credits of the movie you ripped could include your name?"Ripped by InternetDoucheBag1"...just as important as the director!

My guess is that they didn't get full blown database access. Even if they did, any good site admin will have routine backups, if not a full blown mirror.
