BitTorrent Trackers DOWN or BACK UP

[Obstler]

same here

well, to put it bluntly.

DDos = No site = No donations = Fucked

but hopefully it will all just go away and we will be fine (or is that just too easy)

anyway getting sidetracked from the actual topic here, so yeah, atm fucked, hopefully in near future, fine.

As a long time member who has donated two or 3 times in the past, I would be more than happy to make another one as soon as the site is back and my ability to do so is there. I guarantee I am not in the minority

Empornium.me has been down for about 4 days. It's been down before a few times but never for this long. Anyone have an update about that tracker?

[Badra]

Yo what's with FTN, is it coming back?

I would like to know that answer too

According to their irc channel, site and tracker are down and should be coming back soon (no ETA tho)

According to IRC here

http://webchat.digitalirc.org/
channel #empornium

"Site is up but due to DDoS attack it may be unreachable. We are working on this, no ETA"

Don't know if that's out of date, but there are people in that channel chatting, so I guess that's current info

For EMP, they should be back next week and it is not a ddos anymore. According to irc chat they know the problem, have a solution and are testing then implementing it.

BCG down completely, say's "Due to excessive DDoS attacks we have decided to take the site offline. We hope to be back soon.", so is this basically the end of BCG? Hopefully they do come back soon...

hopefully not, it looks like the hosts have null routed the IP again, but this is getting to be very boring now.

Yeah, seriously, why so many people have an axe to grind with DDoSing trackers is beyond me, why not DDoS a legitimate target...like...Steam. Who's TOS and totalitarian policies are an absolute shit down the throat of their users, and for a private company who's worth billions to have worse customer support than a 1 man website deserves to be fucked with more than a tracker that freely serves it's users and operates on donations. I just don't understand the values of the script kiddie DDoS idiots, go after people or companies that are actually worth sending a message too. Not a bittorrent tracker which hurts literally nobody. The Sony PSN takedown was a good message to send, but I guess DDoSing Steam and maintaining that attack for extended periods requires a bit more skill than a couple script kids have learned...

I know a couple people in network and private security who could probably track down a lot of these people who DDoS and idiotically claim responsibility. There are a lot of "operators" in the Blackhat scene who could really lend a hand a giving a couple of these people a taste of their own medicine, maybe even bit more.

I would rather prefer MS being taken down Sony has been more consumer friendly.
