The consequence of the court decision is that our torrents are currently dead. Of course, our server in Miami and many people within the community are actively sharing the torrents via DHT, so you should still be able to download via torrent even with the tracker being down.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a bit worried about this since there aren&#8217;t that many reliable open torrent trackers in the World.
