WinXP SP2 torrent no more

Way to go Microsoft! A service that's helps to get your security fixes out to as many folks as possible and you decide to shut it down! We highlighted the SP2torrent's effort to distribute the SP2 via BitTorrent. Now it's no more.

Microsoft sent DMCA takedown notices to our two webhosts, one of which was just linking to a torrent file on another server. We've stood up to these kinds of legal threats before, but we decided not to bother this time, because we started this site primarily as a demonstration and to that end it's already been a huge success. SP2torrent.com showed how filesharing technlogy gives people without budgets or huge servers the power to solve problems themselves, without waiting for the government or some corporation to do it for them.
