FYI: US prosecutors shut down one of world’s largest file-sharing sites, Megaupload

Just a head's up, Megaupload is gone.

....so...does anyone have the "DL Lost Fics Here" all backed up somewhere?

ETA: It seems that a few people have those fics all backed up. A couple people are also willing to set up DL archives inside of their own websites. See the comments for more details.

Well, the Wall Street Journal says the FBI shut it down, so I guess I was just confused.

Here's a petition (http://act.demandprogress.org/act/megaupload_seizure/?referring_akid=a4634752.1830822.HqRxDj&source=auto-e) to sign.
