How long did this case take to get through the courts? I don't know but I'm guessing quite some time. And how many torrent index sites could pop up in the time it takes to close one down?

They didn't even manage to shut down The Pirate Bay, which is still running despite having been ruled as illegal...

I've always used Isohunt for my downloads but now that it's dead, what site is considered as the best replacement? Thanks

I use Pirate Bay very successfully, but I know many prefer Kickass Torrents.

I'm Pirate Bay as well but if I'm looking for some book or film that may be a little obscure then I'll check Kickass as well and have been pleasantly surprised with some of the search results.
