Technical details for MiniNova.org

Currently Mininova.org is using three web servers, two database servers, 2 search servers and one load balancer. There are also three more servers for other services like forum, ads and blog.

MiniNova.org - Present

The sole aim of Mininova.org is to provide a search engine for various torrent files distributed for free. Mininova.org wants to keep their domain free from unwanted material and thus any adult or copyrighted submissions are prohibited.

Mininova.com Scam

Unfortunately for Mininova.org (and users who've been duped), another site had squatted the domain name Mininova.com. Apparently, they'd put up an interface asking for paid membership and would then pipe search results from Mininova.org to users who'd been fooled. However, since Mininova.org won the rights to the .com domain from the scammer in April 2007, Mininova.com now redirects to Mininova.org
