Mr Anderson,

Try one or all of these:

www.shareprovider.com
www.sharelive.com
www.ed2k-it.com

Filenexus was knocked offline permanently recently (legal issues), but I don't know why Sharereactor is down. Use one of the other sites if you can, for now.

Hope that helps.

[Mr anderson]

many thnx guys:P happy surfing

Thought that was me, reassuring to see other people are having the same problem.

Well, it's official, Sharereactor.com is gone for good.
Got this from the CDfreaks website:

Sharereactor.com has been taken down by the Swiss authorities

Sharereactor was the largest edonkey/emule links site on the net for about 3 years. A few days ago, it suddenly disappeared without further notice.

Due to the suspicion of breach of copyright and trademark laws the cantonal judicial Inquiry department of Thurgau has taken down an internet site that served as a link platform for filesharing downloads. A court procedure against the 25 year old owner is underway. The internet site located in Frauenfeld was online for about 30 months and last had over 220.000 hits per day, before it was taken offline by the Thurgau officials.

The site that was working as an anchorpoint for links to downloads of copyrighted and trademarked products was top rated in search engines. After a complaint from several large corporations, represented by the Swiss association against piracy, the cantonal judicial inquiry department of Thurgau initiated an investigation, seized the servers in Frauenfeld and had the site taken offline. The responsible owner, a 25 year old Swiss proved to be very cooperative in explaining matters at hand. The inquiries continue and will take some time.

BTW: Sharereactor.ru (russian site, partly in english) is still online, apparently not connected with the other sharereactor.

Hmmmm, after recieving my yellow card (for a post written before the forum rules were changed), i find this post in violation of the forum rules for advocating the use of Warez. We all know that ShareReactor (rip) was a site dedicated to providing links to the illegal download of software and movies.....

[flaninacupboard]

well mranderson has been banned already, so........

[mh2360]

But was he banned for this particular post?

[gitreel]

This is old news. Sharereactor was waken down about two months ago

This was on just about every tech website, I am surprised you didn't know about it. I seem to remember even seeing it on the register.

[mh2360]

And my yellow card was issued when???? for a post made Jul 18, 2002 ....

What im complianing about is, for example if your particular goverment issued a directive saying, "you shall not spit on the sidewalk", then they arrest everyone who has spat on the sidewalk for the past two years... you see what I mean?

Sharereactor had other noninfringing uses. Please get over your yellow card from two years ago. :P

ShareReactor Down Indefinitely
March 12, 2004
Thomas Mennecke


ShareReactor has become one of the most popular link sites for the eDonkey2000/Overnet community. This site made the "search" feature irrelevant by using hash codes to directly link an individual with a file. Hash links have proven to be invaluable in the fight against corrupt or false files.


However, after approximately three years as the top link site for eDonkey2000/Overnet, its future is drawn into great question. The site has been down for several days, with little in the way of an explanation. The little information that has surfaced has been confined to the ShareReactor chatroom and a few forum posts. The ShareReactor IRC chat room topic states the following:

"MAINPAGE & FORUM WILL MOST LIKELY NOT BE BACK UP, PLEASE DO NOT ASK WHY, WE WILL TELL YOU WHEN WE KNOW MORE!"

The site administrator, Simon Moon, has been unreachable since the site closure. Because of the fluid nature of the current situation, the ShareReactor administration has asked us to remove their previous statements, stating "ShareReactor will be down until further notice."

Sharereactor had other noninfringing uses. Please get over your yellow card from two years ago. :P

The yellow card was not issued two years ago (yellow cards didnt exist two years ago), it was issued recently, for a post made two years ago...

[gitreel]

That is messed up. Sorry

[mh2360]

That is messed up. Sorry

NP, the admins when they changed the posting rules, forgot to delete the past posts that infringe the new rules. (AND THERE ARE MANY!!!!, i could link all day )

And for the record, Moony has been arrested and his equipment seized, he is in deep 5h17, at the moment....

This is your last and final warning. If you continue to make
noise by digging up old posts you will be banned.
