IMPORTANT SITE NEWS
Hi All
This is difficult for me, but the time has come to announce that the http://torrent.genesis-movement.org will be closing its ports one final time on Saturday 26th September 2015. The DC++ service (for those who remember it and still use it) will also cease at that time. From now until the close of the site, all torrents will be freeleech.
The Live Database and news parts of the website (http://www.genesis-movement.org) will remain online and may even get updated when I get time. However the forums will be placed into read only mode for archive purposes.
I'm sure there will be speculation that I'm being sued, that the RIAA have got to me or that the band have demanded that I pull it. None of those are true. I am closing it for personal reasons and I believe the time has come.
I'd like to give my thanks to all of those who supported the site over the years by donating or sharing their recordings. You made it the success it was. I'd especially like to thank my three moderators, Andrew, Willem and Peter, without whom I would have lost even more sleep.
We had a run of almost exactly 10 years (just over in fact) and in that time we've had well over 1 million completed downloads! It's been a bumpy ride at times, but overall I think we've all managed to share the music freely and made it available to the masses. I've made lots of friends through the site, I hope you have too.
Time moves on, that was then, this is now. It's only knock and knowall, but we liked it.

| Thank you Simon, for all the effort, time and money you put into it! Like you said - making good friends was a brilliant side-effect of the site.
And maybe - now there's only eleven days left - people who are hiding a pro-shot Lambshow video, or pro shot Milton Keynes, may finally shed those recordings over all the other fans

| It's always a sad thing that a site, which has joined a lot of people with common tastes, has to close. I only hope that those personal reasons are not owing to something serious.
Thanks for you efforts to keep this site alive. I wish you all the best.

| Thank you Simon and everyone who shared. I won't even speculate on the reason for closing down... but I will say that I recently came to a similar decision about Torrents in general. I have stopped uploading over on ZOMB, and was preparing to do the same here. I guess with age comes other interests. It's been a fun ride and I wish you all the best in the future.
Peace.

| Very very sad news Simon. Thank you and others, all your efforts.
Question: till that closing time, is polite to upload things, or just problems, some raw sources maybe, or not.....?
Cheers, DGy

| Thanks to you and the team for all the years, all the things I discovered here (so many rarities, the remasters...) and so much money saved on not buying horribly overpriced bootlegs...
I have to ask: Is there no other way? Like another "team" taking over?
It's hard to imagine a world without the Movement Torrent site!

| A sad day - I can remember the very start of this place, and although I lost everything I once had a few years ago, I had a bit of a spree a few weeks ago picking up the creme de la creme again.
It was always great to know this place was here as a permanent online archive for anything I might have the urge to hear... surely hope this isn't the end of people sharing this stuff around.
Thanks Simon, and best of luck with everything!
