KickassTorrents was the most recent high profile torrent site to hit the headlines after it was seized by feds. The site reappeared in the form of mirrors, but ultimately the site lives on only as a community. Out of the blue, Torrentz.eu has also dropped off the face of the internet.

Running for more than 13 years, Torrentz.eu was one of the largest torrent sites in existence, but it differed to many of the other big names. It was considered a meta-search engine, and pulled in results from other sites including KickassTorrents and the Pirate Bay.

It's not clear what happened to cause Torrentz.eu to shut up shop, but it certainly appears that the closure was voluntary. There are no indications that the site has been seized by authorities, and no suggestion that anyone involved in the site has been arrested or is being hunted by law enforcement.

At the moment, at least, the site is still online -- but it is not functional. Text on the site reads: "Torrentz was a free, fast and powerful meta-search engine combining results from dozens of search engines." If you try to perform a search for anything, you'll be greeted by the message: "Torrentz will always love you. Farewell."

While details of what has happened remain unknown, one thing is for sure -- it won't be long before a replacement pops up to fill the void that has been created.
