TaffyBox Shut Down by BTjunkie for Leeching Resources

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.
