Mininova's third birthday!
Hi there!
It's January 14, and that means the anniversary of Mininova! Today we celebrate that Mininova is 3 years old. :)
It's been a very interesting time, especially the past year. Mininova showed a tremendous growth, we're happy to see that we're nowadays the most visited torrent site.
In April last year we won the domain dispute regarding www.mininova.com. This domain was used by a scammer and showed a fake website, but fortunately the judge agreed with us and the .com domain is now ours.
We're very glad that we reached the 2 billion downloads milestone in June, followed by the 3 billion downloads one in November. It shouldn't be too long before we reach the 4 billion downloads.
And that's not all: we also launched a new video website last summer, called Snotr. This site is doing pretty well, and has already gained quite some regular visitors.
And last but not least, a few weeks ago we launched our new Content Distribution (CD) service, a.k.a featured torrents. The CD service is doing very well, more than 200 publishers are now actively using Mininova to share their content for free. We're very excited to expand this service in the near future, please stay tuned for announcements.
As described above, the past year was a very interesting one, but we're sure the year ahead will be even more exciting.
Thanks a lot for all your continued visits (as users), the excellent support of our moderating team, the cooperation from our hosters and everyone else who made this possible!
See you around!
-- Niek, on behalf of the Mininova staff
