[deuce6000]

My bad.

[Xstation]

[Thanos]

[Gish]

well ScT is down to.
so it seems for now that both there fate depends on one another:dabs:

[Tokeman]

world on irc is 2 TB servers were comprimised and are being used to ddos other sites.

The other word I hear, is TB is being ddos'd and they have redirected all traffic to sct.

Take from that what you want, either way, got to wait it out until filters start working well.

[Storm]

i really dont get that sorta thing. who would do that? hackers? why torrent sites? theyre sorta allies
[paranoia mode]so its gotta be the MPAA/RIAA thats hacking them[/paranoia mode]

@trad3r: who said that? a admin or mod from one of the sites, or is it just gossip?

[Tokeman]

gossip on one of the affected sites irc, but rumors is all we get until its fixed and news is on main site :)

[Beenieman]

I get "The connection has timed out"

[phrenzy]

SCT is back up... atleast

[knicknut]

Still no TB for me.

[wheeloftime]

This is an announcement on FsC at the moment.

Be aware that TorrentBytes is currently having some serious issues at the moment. As well as being DOS'd from the internet, their domain appears to be redirected to another site. Be aware that if this is true, then you may be giving your login information to undisclosed recipients. - Retro

Probably not a good idea to try logging in at TB for the time being

[TexBrad]

Yea the world of Hackers and P2P should be getting along,

Hopefully no major damage will be done

[jokzor]

ddos microsoft, they deserve it

[logitech]

It makes sense for competing private torrent trackers to have a desire to see competition fail.

[ose]

I hope they'll be back soon :(

but yes those DOS attacked become a bit annoying lately

finger crossed

Then they should get a better host. Host your Torrent Sites in the Netherlands where torrents sites are respected and legal.

[DV8type]

TBy has great host and a few servers....where they are hosted has nothing to do with it....they are not being attacked by the government. They probably pissed off some anti-P2P lamers with 2 much time on there hands

[seppypom]

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

did you miss the headlines
"Dutch anti-piracy group BREIN takes action against major illegal file sharing service"

[knicknut]

Ugh, still down.

As an aside, can someone suggest an alternative that I should try to get into in case TB goes down for good one of these days, or for times like these?

I've used TB almost exclusively the past 2-3 years, have uploaded hundreds of GBs, and the negative of relying on that one site is when it goes down I'm kinda screwed. It seems every other site I try is either closed for new applications or only has 1 person on each torrent (and I can understand why). Could someone suggest some sites that I should keep an eye out for signups as an alternative for the long term? My loyalty to TB has kept me ignorant of other alternatives (and without invites, etc., to trade).

Thanks for the ideas. Feel free to PM if you don't want to respond in here.

[cRaZyzMaN]

can't access to.

[afada]

yeah smae thing, still not opening
I hope that they will get back soon

anyone can recomend anything good as TB that I can register with it

[moquilok]

I started off with TB (and TL soon thereafter). I've used those two pretty much exclusively for quite some time, not knowing much about other general private trackers.

I'll be sad to see TB go if it does, but the quality has unfortunately dropped a bit since I first joined over 100 weeks ago.

As for alternatives, I'd suggest TL.

[TheFoX]

Let's give the guys a chance to resolve the current issues, as they've put a lot of work into the site.

Don't desert them yet, but give them some benefit. If they fail to re-appear, then by all means move on, but give them that chance first.

[Gish]

well after that April fools joke I have been worried about those who run the site. I mean pretending the site has been hacked shows a lack of responsibility and humor.

[SCMithrandir]

I agree with giving them a chance before you move on. The speed is decent and yes, the quality has dropped but hopefully they will pick it up and get back to where they were.

[! ANGEL !]

stell waiting 4 this site:dry:

[suprafreak6]

how come the site is down?

[hungdob]

how come the site is down?
it was hacked the same time sct and maybe tpg were and still down..
i guess tb passed from this world :dry:

[Xstation]

The website is up, according to the staff the website "got hacked" and the hacker "deleted core system files"...

Though there currently are no torrents, the site is back up!! :) :) :)

As of 14:07 PST.... TB is back up and running!!!
