On Saturday there was a bidding war for a domain that many might have wondered, “What’s all the fuss?”
The auction was for Torcache.net, the auction closed at $4,952.
Bidders 11 and 12 battled it out from $1,623 to the close. Eventually bidder 11 won the auction. Bidder 11 looks to just have had a pretty high proxy bid
TorrentFreak.com covered the news last August when the service was shutdown.
The shutdown of KickassTorrents had a pronounced impact on the torrent ecosystem. Not only did one of the largest torrent indexers disappear, the popular torrent storage cache Torcache also vanished overnight. As a result, several sites were left without a good torrent repository, a gap iTorrents.org hopes to fill.
