The Torrent Entertainment Network has closed

We created TEN to empower content creators and viewers like you to discover a new kind of video experience. However, as we sharpen our focus we have decided to invest more in content delivery technology rather than content merchandising. As a result we have taken the difficult decision to shut down TEN.

We appreciate the millions of global users who supported TEN and look forward to continuing to serve you with innovative content delivery technology.

Is my credit card number secure? What about my personal information?

Your credit card number is perfectly secure. The Torrent Entertainment Network always used a secure third party for all activities relating to processing of credit card transactions (CyberSource - see www.cybersource.com). Any credit card details you submitted while purchasing content from the Torrent Entertainment Network were securely handled by CyberSource - BitTorrent, Inc. never had direct access to your credit card details. CyberSource is a leading provider of electronic payment and risk management solutions and is publicly traded (see NASDAQ: CYBS). Any other personal information you shared with BitTorrent is also perfectly secure and we will obviously continue to honor our privacy policy.

How and where can I get game patches for any of the games I bought through the BitTorrent store?

Should I delete my BitTorrent client on my computer? What now?

No you do not need to delete or uninstall your BitTorrent client. The BitTorrent client you may have installed is one of the world's most popular pieces of downloaded free software. You are welcome (and encouraged) to keep using it. The closure of the Torrent Entertainment Network will have no impact on the functioning of your BitTorrent client.

If I still have content I purchased from BitTorrent on my system, will I still be seeding it to other peers?

You may still be "seeding" content to other BitTorrent users if you have downloaded content with your BitTorrent client in the past, the piece of content is still visible in the client's torrents window AND your BitTorrent client is active. If you wish to stop this, simply highlight the torrent and click on the "remove" button.
