One of the internet's most popular file-sharing sites has shut down less than a week after Hollywood announced a flurry of lawsuits against operators of such online servers.

A note posted on Suprnova.org, which facilitated sharing among users of the BitTorrent programme, said the site was "closing down for good". The collection of links to downloadable files, including music, movies and books, was taken down.

"We are very sorry for this, but there was no other way, we have tried everything," the statement said.
