Torrentz.eu Shuts Down Forever! End of Biggest Torrent Search Engine

Over two weeks after the

shutdown of Kickass Torrents

and arrest of its admin in Poland, the world's biggest BitTorrent meta-search engine

Torrentz.eu

has apparently shut down its operation.

The surprise shutdown of Torrentz marks the end of an era.

Torrentz.eu was a free, fast and powerful meta-search engine that hosted no torrents of its own, but combined results from dozens of other torrent search engine sites including

The Pirate Bay

, 

Kickass Torrents

and ExtraTorrent.

The meta-search engine has announced "

farewell

" to its millions of torrent users without much fanfare, suddenly ceasing its operation and disabling its search functionality.

At the time of writing, the Torrentz.eu Web page is displaying a message that reads in the past tense:

"

Torrentz was a free, fast and powerful meta-search engine combining results from dozens of search engines.

"

When try to run any search or click any link on the site, the search engine refuses to show any search result, instead displays a message that reads:

"Torrentz will always love you. Farewell."

Launched back in 2003, Torrentz has entertained the torrent community for more than 13 years with millions of visitors per day.
