TaffyBox Shut Down by BTjunkie for Leeching Resources

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

TaffyBox is a torrent search engine that allows its users to download torrents directly through a Java applet in their web browser, instead of a regular BitTorrent client. The idea is not entirely new, as Vertor and a couple of other sites also offer a direct download using Bitlet’s Java applet, but nevertheless the site received a fair share of news coverage after it appeared on TechCrunch . This level of coverage is a great accomplishment for a new torrent site, but the fun didn’t last very long.
