Hey everybody, today is the first birthday of mininova!
About a year ago, I started working on a website that would replace SuprNova, a very popular BitTorrent site that cancelled its services in December 2004.
Shortly after I started, my friends Erik, Jos, Matthijs en Rob joined the mininova staff.
Who could ever have thought that 1 year later, this website would be the number 1 place for millions of people worldwide to get torrents off?
What was the reason for mininovas huge growth?
- Was it the simple layout?
- The perfect timing after SuprNovas shutdown?
- The many revolutionary and advanced features?
- The forum with its great community?
The only thing I know for sure is that we’ll stay here with you, the BitTorrent users 
Of couse I’d like to say thanks to everybody who helped us (the staff) accomplish what we’ve got now:
- You, the users! For getting fresh torrents from mininova every day!
- All our moderators, at the forum and the site. Their work is probably invisible for you, but they accomplish huge things. Without them, mininova would be a mess…
- Anakata from ThePirateBay, for hosting the website the first week (for free!)
- Gary from isoHunt, for hosting our servers a month in exchange for recommending his site
- FD for his help setting up the forum and the servers at Leaseweb
- The guys from Leaseweb for hosting our servers for almost a year now
- And everybody else who I forgot
I’d like to emphasise that we’ve just started, and we’ve got a long way to go!
I’m sure many interesting and important things will happen this year.
As usual, we’d like to know what you, as a BitTorrent user, would like to see changed on mininova.
Please share your ideas by posting a comment in this blog.
Personally, I was thinking that a new design for mininova would be a good idea (the current layout is getting quite old).
Having said that: if you’re working for a webdesign company and you’re interested in a nice offer, feel free to contact me.
Clean torrents have never been posted anywhere else!
WoW, this is my #1 site when i need a torrent becuase of how much contect and torrents you guys got, and YOU GUYS ROCK!!!! BEST SITE!!! I always thought this site reminded me of SuprNova ^_^.
I think that as far as this site won’t get shut down, then it will grow amazingly throughout the years!!! Good luck Mininova.org

Thanks to all the people who seed and upload a torrent a lot in order to help us poor students who could not enjoy expensive software’s put out by software companies. Because we only use these software’s for learning purposes not commercial gain. There for cheers to every body who shares his piece of software with other people, especially to the suppliers of CAD/CAM softwares. Thank you very much!!!!. Free software rules the world!!!!
THANK YOU! and may there be many more birthdays for you to come
Happy birthday!!!
