There've been a lot of attempts to smother "rutracker". The most famous... or infamous try, depending on how you look at things, was when the tracker was denied its domain name without notice, which they had kept for a very long time. That domain was like a symbol back then. Anyone with rudimentary knowledge of the Russian internet knew it. Needless to say the domain name had a .ru in its ending. The owners of the website ended up relocating the tracker to the international .org That's how it got its current name btw.

P.S. I read that flattering comment of yours about my English. I assure you I'm not as good as you said I might be. In fact, the only reason I chose "piqued my curiosity" was a quick look in Oxford collocations dictionary. Yeah, I know I cheated. But hell, I never pretended my English was anything better than basic.
