Private TV torrent tracker Freshon.tv (TvT) has permanently closed its doors, saying they have lost interest in the project and decided to move on.

"We are shutting the website down due to the lack of interest," a staff from TVT wrote in a message.

The private tracker's administrators said they now prefer to concentrate on their personal lives.

"This is no longer a fun activity and the old members simply have other things to focus on, like work and families. We like to thank each member that was present in the community we built and maintained for a decade."

The site now prompts a brief shutdown message and its login option has now been removed. The closure also came as a surprise not only to the site's users but also to several of its staff.

"We, the staff, didn't know of this until they made the public announcement, so this all comes a bit rushed," user Liberateus wrote on Reddit, noting that another torrent tracker Morethan.tv is willing to take refugees.

"Morethan.tv is a rather young but fast growing tracker focused on TV and movie content, with a nice community, dedicated staff and a huge selection of content."

Other torrent trackers have also posted offers on the Reddit threat, the Torrent Freak reported.

Freshon or 'TV Torrents RO' was one of the larger specialized TV trackers on the web, with 20,000 users who shared tens of thousands of torrents.

Meanwhile, ExtraTorrent Release Group aka ETRG also recently shutdown without giving any details or any apparent motive. Just like Freshon.tv's staff, many of ExtraTorrent's associate groups like the ettv and EtHD have been left homeless but have also started flocking in other torrent sites like The Pirate Bay, Torrentz2, and RARBG.
