The site was blocked in Spain in 2019, with the blocking of other similar websites such as Lime Torrents and 1337x. To date, there are no new 'official' ExtraTorrent mirrors as the database for the original was wiped during its shutdown in 2017.

Shortly after the shutdown of the official ExtraTorrent website, multiple clones and imitations appeared online. Īt the time of its shutdown, ExtraTorrent's primary domain name was the 291st most viewed website globally, according to statistics from Alexa Internet. The website was already down for days due to an emergency maintenance situation, just two days before the website shut down permanently. The entire website was replaced with a message from the administrator, stating that the website was to shut down permanently (as well as all mirror domains), and wipe all data relating to the website and its content. On, ExtraTorrent voluntarily ceased operations out of the blue.
