The Prosecutor's Office has closed the largest Russian tracker torrents.ru

18 February 2010 года компанией “Ру-Центр” (www.nic.ru) without warning, and of any notice had been suspended the domain delegation TORRENTS.RU. По информации из “Ру-Центра” “Делегирование домена TORRENTS.RU приостановлено на основании Постановления следственного отдела по Чертановскому району Прокуратуры г.Москвы от 16.02.2010г”.

В “Ру-Центр” направлен соответствующий запрос, but, very likely, that clarification will take some time, during which the address torrents.ru will be unavailable.

In this regard, we were forced to urgently change the domain name on rutracker.org.

Technically, this means that to continue the exchange of information you need to change the addresses of trackers in already downloaded torrent files from bt.torrents.ru to bt.rutracker.org, (instead of bt there may be bt2, bt3 and bt4) or download the torrent files again (they will have a new address tracker).

All other forum links will be changed automatically., however, you may need to re-enter your username and password when entering the forum, чтобы браузер запомнил новый адрес.

Since domain torrents.ru not available, and it was unregistered from DNS servers, then it would be necessary to download all torrents, so that the new tracker address fits into them.

I did not download all torrents, because it's long and dumb,but just added to the file “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts” (this is a plain text file, opens with a notebook) and added to the end of such records

195.82.146.114 www.torrents.ru
195.82.146.120 bt.torrents.ru
195.82.146.121 bt2.torrents.ru
195.82.146.122 bt3.torrents.ru
195.82.146.123 bt4.torrents.ru
195.82.146.124 bt5.torrents.ru

It means, что при вводе в браузер “http://torrents.ru” не будет использоваться DNS провайдера для получения адреса сайта, and this address will be taken from this file, which I changed
