Andrej Preston (born c. 1986), also known under the pseudonym Slonček (meaning "little elephant" in Slovene), is the founder of the former BitTorrent site Suprnova.org.^[1][2]

The Slovenian publication Mladina revealed in November 2004 that he was 18 years old and a student at the Waldorf High School in Ljubljana, Slovenia.^[3] After having shut down Suprnova.org in December 2004, he became the target of a police investigation in early 2005, and two computers of his were confiscated.^[2][4][5] In October 2005 the prosecutor announced that no charges would be filed and the computers were returned.^[5]

Now Andrej Preston has given the domain suprnova.org to The Pirate Bay. The Pirate Bay has relaunched it as of August 21, 2007.^[2]

On August 25, 2007, he moved to San Francisco, California,^[2] where he is visiting Academy of Art University.
