Swedish anti-copyright group Pirate Bay will reopen Suprnova.org, which used to be the most popular BitTorrent indexing site.

Suprnova disappeared in 2004 (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/12/19/suprnova_stops_torrents/) as legal storm clouds gathered.

Currently the domain hosts a link dump, but Pirate Bay reportedly plans to restore Suprnova in its original design in "a few days".

The former operator of the site told TorrentFreak: "The domain was doing nothing. I know that domain has some nostalgic value and some people would be more then happy to see it back online. I don't use it, and [The Pirate Bay] is the only team that I know will use it correctly."
