    Have to say with how abrupt the DT went it reminds me of a naughty audio software torrent site called audiofarm I was a member over a decade ago. Was the biggest audio private tracker. One morning wake up and it gone without a trace. The freakout was real. All that knowledge, the ratio…

    A few days later and a new tracker started and all was well.

    This feels like that.

      I had a similar experience with what.cd, it might have been a replacement torrent site for audiofarm? Invite-only, and it was a music lover’s dream. Had to keep a positive upload/download ratio. A catalogue bigger than streaming services. I contributed for years. Then one day without any warning, gone. Its servers got seized by the authorities in whatever country they were based. Replacements popped up pretty quickly.
