[edit] History

OpenBitTorrent's initiative to provide a free stable service with no ties to indexing sites or even hosting torrent-files has been a huge public success and it has spawned several copies with almost identical services.[citation needed]

OBT has commonly been mixed up as being a part of and/or a side project to The Pirate Bay. The reason for this is that during the startup period during February through August of 2009, they shared the same hosting company and to some extent used the same tracker cluster IP-address space provided by DCP Networks, the same service provider as The Pirate Bay used. OBT is also a customer of Fredrik Neij, one of the founders of The Pirate Bay.

Misleading conclusions such as [1], has lead to widespread acceptance of this rumor.

The operators of OBT have been rumoured on IRC as being from Spain.[citation needed]
