Kickass Torrents is back, or at least it is reported to be. According to a TorrentFreak report, Kickass Torrents’ original staffers have brought the defunct website back to life under a new domain name, with all its old content and former glory.
The website appears to be under construction right now with the staffers displaying a message saying, “Servers Load have been affected, there are other few sources of this issue, its not just one. We are working on fix this as soon as possible .. one thing is for sure, we are not going anywhere, even as much these behind this acts want us to.

Cowards always choose the shadows to commit their acts, and I do personally hope they know how to pray, they will need it.”

Thanks to a special request from team members, the website has also pinned a YouTube link to Rick Astley’s famous track Never Gonna Give You Up, which goes like ‘never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you’ – we assume this is a message to the community suggesting that Kickass Torrents is here to stay.


Kickass Torrents was shut down after its alleged founder Artem Vaulin was arrested in Poland and the domain name was seized by the US Justice Department. Even with the main website dead, a lot of clones of the popular torrent website cropped up on the web, but were nothing more than pale shadows of the original Kickass Torrent with not so up to date content.

Everything is online. Even pirates bay. They can be shut off, but there is no viable way of keeping them offline. THey can always pop up under a new domain and host. Plenty of takers.

kickass.to is still down for me

what url are you using?

The old domain name was confiscated so they couldn't use it again. This is the new one. https://katcr.co
Although presently the new site's servers are overloaded. It'll probably take a little bit of time before it can handle the same traffic as before.

torrents are illegal. I just meant that none of these sites really go down. They just switch to another domain. Search google and you will find plenty of mirrors

its not easy to find a reliable one....on a lot of them, you just end up downloading virus

thats what you gotta be careful where you download your torrent from
