Dunno if anyone has covered this but I've noticed a few invites being
shared on this ng.

Seems that both those sites are no longer available unless someone
rescues them. Shame it was a great Rugby resource.

This might explain a bit more.

Shit, I wondered why they were down today.
Spose I'm gonna have to subscribe to the demon Sky now then, the
bastard.....

Anyone know if all rugby is covered by SS2 and 3?

In past years they've had some of the S14 on SSX. Assuming that such
nancyboy rugby interests you of course didge.

I don't watch it live, but I'll admit to fast forwarding through the odd
game. Let's hope diwana stays up.....

Here's the latest post from Kanga. I hope he doesn't mind me re-
posting it here :-)

Hi Everyone,

This is a brief message to let everyone know the situation.

I've been running this forum since August 2005 and have enjoyed every
minute of it. Having recently started a new job however, i no longer
have the amount of spare time required to give this forum the
attention it demands.

Consequently, i will be closing aussietorrents.com permanently in the
next week or so.

I'm well aware of the lifeline this site offers to people overseas,
and plans are in place to handover all of the forum content to one of
the long time moderators for him to run as he sees fit. This means our
forum will be run by a new Admin, on a new server and with a new
domain name. We will attempt to keep downtime and confusion to a
minimum.

Rest assured you will be kept informed of any developments, and
hopefully the site can keep growing well into the future.

diwana.org - Updates will be provided regarding the future of
diwana.org early next week. For now, torrents remain accessable via
the links in the aussietorrents Release threads.

Note that this has virtually nothing to do with the recent Underbelly
nonsense published in some newspapers. It has been brewing for awhile,
and a major change is in fact well overdue.

I'll be keeping the aussietorrents.com domain active, and intend to
launch something else in the next few months (much smaller than this,
most likely a blog or something more personal). Feel free to email me
to keep in touch, kanga at aussietorrents dot com

I have several thank yous to say to people, but will leave that until
next week. This thread will be locked for now, but i'll reopen it in a
few days to give people a chance to comment.

In closing, don't worry about the site disappearing. The forum will
continue but without yours truly at the helm.

Kanga
Capper
Guru

Apparently http://fr333dom.com is temporarily stepping into the breach.

Thankfully they're hosting the S14 games (and whatever other rugby is
being played this weekend)

New registrations welcome.

Thaniks for the replacement trackers guys. The hole left by Diwana is
quite substantial.

I know this is a Rugby group, but anyone have a suggestion on where
cricket is now getting posted? Particularly the Tri-series down in Aus?

Anybody been able to get the super14 matches from this weekend apart
from the friday matches as they have been up a while on fr333dom.

Checked full contact zone and fr333dom and every torrent site in the
world? Are they temporarily available somewhere?

Thanks

find it.
