I can't access my favourite torrent site - what's happening?

[sputnik]

Still can't access it.

I asked a few friends online in the USA to try and it appears down for them too.

http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/torrentleech.org says it's up.

Does not work from home or work, (however using same ISP).

Confused now.

[sputnik]

Appears an upstream ISP from me may be blocking certain sites at the router level.

Torrentleech is up and running. I can access it using a VPN link.

However nobody at my ISP or downstream of the parent ISP can get there.

[MrFredPFL]

i'm in the US and i can't access it either, altho the DNS resolves - i get a connection timeout error.

[sputnik]

Our ISP is experiencing some connection issues at the moment, mostly with their international connection to the US,but it could affect other countries/ISPs as well, so until they fix it, many users might be unable to connect to the site.Nothing to worry about,just be patient

Problem solved!

[anotheruser]

Back up for me. Ah, I see. *actually reads above* What I get for waking up and immediately checking and posting all blurry eyed and shit. Thanks for the heads up sputnik! Peace.

[quartex]

anyone know what happened to cinemageddon.org and it's sister site tv-vault.org?
Haven't been able to access it all day

[rsrikanth05]

NWTools, times out while pinging them, so obviously, thy're both offline..
Whether they've been taken down OR are doing something else....is unknown..

[quartex]

small update for those who were wondering:

CG: BACK FROM THE GRAVE

Don't worry folks, we've not been shut down by angry B-movie distributors hungry for money; we've merely suffered a rather unpleasant hard disk failure. The new hard disk has now arrived, and we're getting the site back up as you read this.

You can keep up to speed with what's happening on IRC: #cinemageddon on irc.cinemageddon.org

Maybe you two can share the URLs?
Too many results on Google...

It would help if someone gave the actual URL.
And isn't ti suspicious that all of them have suddenly gone out for maintainance?
BTW: Is it http://bitmetv.org ?

[mainroy]

yes

[PoPPunker]

yea server maintenance.......http://www.bitmetv.org/


back up now......yeah!!!!!

[rsrikanth05]

yes

Is that aimed at the URL OR my question?

Sites up and running

[SonyRootCanal]

www.nhltorrents.co.uk has a page up about needing a new host. Anyone have some more detail?

[spartan7886]

Torrent-Damage website is still showing the maintenance message, and I'm getting 404 errors on the tracker, but the IRC server is telling me that my ISP has been banned for abusive behavior. Can anyone confirm TD has banned Comcast? I'll miss the site if it's true, but I don't want to waste my time checking to see if it's back up if it won't matter for me.

Your isp hasn't been banned, you should be able to connect. Try again. (from their irc channel)

[spartan7886]

Thanks! I can get back on now. Must have just caught them reconfiguring or something.

[rsrikanth05]

My favourrite isoHunt is still active.....w00t...

[rsrikanth05]

I think Comic Central [ http://www.comic-central.cc ] has gone offline.....
Even NWTools says so.... [Clickies]

[ntscuser]

Not exactly a torrent site but VCDQ is down which is very, very unusual. The last time was when a fire in Houston knocked out their server.

File? You mean Fire don't you?
