One of my favorite torrent sites, btefnet, went down the other day after the MPAA threatened to go after sites distributing television programs. I’m going to have to find another source for my weekly fixes of Lost and Dr. Who. I’m not too worried. Some other site will spring up soon, most likely in a former East Bloc country that MPAA lawyers can’t easily touch. Meanwhile, I need to check out the last episode of Enterprise to see if it’s as bad as I think it will be.
By the way, you really should see the film Crash. It’s a compelling set of interlocking stories set against the backdrop of multicultural Los Angeles. Kind of like Magnolia, but without the “it’s raining frogs” weirdness.
hey there!
i just randomly came across your blog after a google search on ‘btefnet’.
thanks for the info. i was wondering why my downloads wouldn’t connect… and the site wasn’t loading. i figured it had something to do w/ my own internet connection 🙂
its good to hear that u enjoyed ‘Crash’! i really want to see that movie. more so for Larenz Tate, than for the storyline… but it’s good to hear that the storyline doesn’t suck!
l8r!

Lookie here… you’re actually getting a response! 😉 Btefnet being down does suck… what lengths must us foreigners (i.e. non-USers) go to to get some decent and recent TV shows to watch? Anyhoo… I’ll await that east bloc site… till then, I will mourn the loss of btefnet; it was a really great site.
