Bulgarian Torrent Giants Zamunda, Zelka, and ArenaBG Seized in Joint U.S.-Bulgarian Operation

Bulgaria didn’t just ask the U.S. for help shutting down torrent giants—it got a full-on international takedown squad.

Zamunda, Zelka, and ArenaBG—three of Bulgaria’s most popular (and legally dubious) torrent hubs—are now sporting a fancy U.S. government seizure banner. The domains? Redirected to seizedservers.com. The logos? DOJ, HSI, Europol, and Bulgaria’s own crime-fighting dream team. All signs point to a coordinated cross-border takedown, with U.S. courts pulling the plug on domains registered stateside.

These weren’t small-time operations. Zamunda.net was Bulgaria’s 11th most-visited site—millions of clicks monthly. And while the feds are crowing about “intellectual property and tax crimes,” no arrests or server raids have been confirmed… yet. So if you’re feeling nostalgic for free movies and music, don’t panic—just bookmark your favorite mirror site. Domain seizures are easy to bypass; people still stream, download, and meme like nothing happened.

What’s really interesting? This is the first time Bulgaria has successfully leveraged U.S. jurisdiction to take down domestic piracy hubs. Could this be the start of a new era in global anti-piracy? Or just a very expensive digital game of whack-a-mole?

Stay tuned. The torrents aren’t dead—just on temporary hold.
