Guiks will close its doors in about ten days

Sad news (for french at least)

Guiks.net, the torrentsite that became the biggest french private tracker after Snowtigers shutdown, is about to close.
the decision has been taken by the sysop after having been summoned to the gendarmerie station.
it seems the gendarme in charge of the case was kind enough to give him around ten days to shut the site before starting legal proceedings.
of course, sysop didn't think about it twice and will shut the site soon.

ps: 180GB of upload have been handed out to every user in order to let the members enjoy the site until the end.

well, it seems they distributed TBs according to my new stats:

well, the site opened 3 years ago but it only started to become (really) known after Snowtigers shutdown.
Guiks has currently 36,321 torrents, 50.120 members and speeds are very good... too bad it ended badly, it was a way better site than Snowtigers and Ethor imo.

from now on, the only decent french tracker that remains is Reload-Paradise.

Your right it is sad that they are closing and whats even more sad is that i had no idea either that they existed :( From the stats that you have provided it looks even way better than ethor.
 
rofl, it seems they decided to have fun bfeore shutting the site:
upload amount is constantly increasing every 20min or so - i currently have 4.021TB upploaded. also userclasses have been replaced by funny titles and are given randomly. ^^
 
it is first time for me to hear that site as well.
and it is a very sad news...the site really looks awesome.
I hope everyone on Guiks.net would make use of it to the end with the gigantic buffer...
 
What a shame not a lot of french sites around. Sad part is that they really are getting serious about shutting down bittorrent sites, I hope that the bittorrent community will live on.
