t411 or Torrent411 was a semi-private BitTorrent tracker website founded in 2008.[1] According to Alexa Internet, it was the 86th most visited website in France in December 2014, and the first in its category.[2]

On the 27th of June 2017, t411 was shut down in a joint operation by French and Swedish police.[3][4]

History

In 2006 a BitTorrent tracker named QuebecTorrent

White Pages" telephone directory information number in Canada
.

In August 2011 Torrent411 moved to the new domain name t411.me to avoid possible censure by

VeriSign
, the US company that manages the .com top-level domain.

In June 2013, T411 had surpassed 5 million members,[9] confirming its position as the first francophone tracker.

On October 29, 2014, the site suffered a massive

DDOS attack.[10]

On February 20, 2015, t411.me becomes t411.io in response to a threat of blocking the domain name.[11]

On April 2, 2015, a French court ordered the French

DNS providers to block t411.me, following a complaint from the SCPP.[12][13]

On June 27, 2017, t411 was shut down in a joint operation by French and Swedish police.
