Inside the 2025 Hosting “Trade War”: Hardware Turbulence, Vanishing Deals, and What It Means for All of Us

Record-Breaking Black Friday 2025: RackNerd Dominates LET in a Year of Turbulence
Every November, our sister forum, LowEndTalk, erupts into that familiar ritual: the Black Friday MegaThread. It starts with a quiet spark, a handful of pre-BF warmups, and then, it detonates into an annual tradition in which servers, moderators, and caffeine supplies are all pushed to the limit. This year's Black Friday megathread on LET was named: “2025 Black Friday / Cyber Monday: FLASH SALE & MEGATHREAD – The Trade War”, and it truly lived up to its name. And one provider really dominated the forum this year.

Is MyAnonaMouse Obsolete? Yup.
One of the most famous (or infamous, if you prefer) private torrent trackers is MyAnonaMouse. It's been around since circa 2008 and exclusively hosts ebooks, comics, and other electronic publications. For the past 15-odd years it's been a rather exclusive club. You can apply, and if you're impatient, you can buy access from one of the many black market brokers. Once you've achieved membership, there are rules to follow, etiquette to obey, and work to maintain your membership. But of late, people I've talked with say it's not worth the hassle.
