AradiTracker has been closed down by its administrators over unspecified legal issues, reports TorrentFreak.

TorrentFreak was able to contact an anonymous source from the 24,000 peer bit torrent site, who said this wasn't about money – but little else.

“Early Thursday morning (BST) legal action was taken directly against Araditracker," the source says. "For the moment we are unable to divulge details. As a direct result the decision has been taken to close the site. It is very unlikely to return as a torrent tracker.”

A year ago, the Dutch piracy outfit, BREIN, forced the ISP LeaseWeb to turn over the personal information of the admins for 6 torrent sites hosted on the provider, including AradiTracker.

The moved forced them to find a different host, but the four-year-old site has been up and running with no other major problems since then.
