Yes, even though "beeg" offered a much slower downloading method (Rapidgator and similar), it was nice to have around. The same site death also happened earlier this year to gay-pirates (com or net or org). Perhaps gaysonic will hang on for a while.
But with those websites, it was/is a challenge if you didn't purchase a Premium subscription to the file-sharing services listed. When using the free (and slow) download option, it was fairly common to lose a file midway if the connection failed, even for a few seconds. Oh, the hours wasted.
Just another reason to appreciate the benefits of gaytor.rent !
