Is FTN coming back?

[shosh]

Annd the site's down for me.
Well at least I know they're not gone. Haven't gotten new sites in years since ftwr.in went down (thats were I got all my top sites, I miss that place), so each loss hits a bit hard.

Hey Everyone,

If you can see this, you're hitting the new node. Welcome back!

Figured I'd make a new news post rather than updating the last one to make sure this gets seen as I know we'll get questions about why seedboxes aren't working.
We've gone ahead and added DDoS mitigation to the site so that should help out considerably. With that we've had to re-structure things a bit on the back-end, so there's now a new IP that you're tunneling through.

Why is that important you ask? If your seedbox client caches the IP, you'll need to restart it in order to grab the new IP. So before you ask why the tracker isn't working, restart your client.

Another important tidbit, only the ssl tracker is working right now. We'll fix that hopefully tomorrow.

There might still be some downtime as we're currently using a temporary node in part of our tunnel, but I should be able to get that fixed fairly quickly since our outermost IP shouldn't change for at least a month and if it does change, we'll try to make that change as smooth as possible.

That is all. Enjoy your cat videos.

EDIT: I added download buttons to the browse page for everyone to make it a little easier to grab the SSL torrents for now (and to make it easier in general to download).

2/10/14 edit - We should hopefully be back to full operational status tomorrow including the non-ssl tracker as well as uploads. I appreciate you guys being so patient <3

2/11/14 edit - Have to push the above items back a little bit. Still waiting on a few more items and collaborating between different timezones is proving to be a challenge. Hang in there though, we should be golden by the weekend at the latest.

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the downtime scare, we're still getting hit with DDoS attacks so we've been working to shift our configuration around a bit to better prevent these in the future. Our previous outer most node terminated our account which is what caused the lengthy downtime you noticed and we're running on a temporary outer node until our beefed up node comes online. The site will be slowly getting back up to full speed over time as we get everything where it needs to be.

The downtime wasn't without its positive outcomes though. I'll be the first to admit that I've let my life away from FTN take over which has vastly slowed down the evolution of the site here, but with everything lately I've become quite motivated to get FTN where it needs to be. I genuinely appreciate those of you who have stuck with us through the ups and downs and continued to support this site and its community.

I can't promise FTN will be up forever, but we won't go down without a fight. Hang in there with us while we work to get this place stable and humming like a finely tuned sports car.
