The Pirate Bay has made good on its promise to bring back the wildly popular bittorrent site Suprnova.org -- Suprnova is indeed [back up and running][2] with some one million torrents already in its database.

Interestingly, where most torrent sites include a quick link to download popular torrent clients, the newly re-launched Suprnova offers a link to download your torrent via BitLet, which we looked at a while back.

BitLet is a Java-based in-browser torrent client that makes it easy for the uninitiated the download a torrent and BitLet is certainly getting some high profile exposure thanks the Suprnova.

As part of the relaunch there's also a new site, [Suprbay][3], which is hosting a sort of cross-site forum for both Suprnova and Pirate Bay fans.

As is typical of them, the Pirate Bay team is never one to let a press release out without some choice words for the music industry. The relaunch of Suprnova [includes the following taunt][1]:

>This is how it works. Whatever you sink, we build back up. Whomever you sue, ten new pirates are recruited. Wherever you go, we are already ahead of you. You are the past and the forgotten, we are the internet and the future. y'arr!
