I was there this morning(around 8:00Am Pacific)......It was fine.....................Now(2:15PM pacific) nothing.......even the forum is down.
I kinda liked it for NEW torrents......but it was REALLY over-rated I think

Oh well...........I doubt the P2P community will miss it THAT much as theres a heck of alot more sites for torrents (thank goodness)

TB is hosted in the Netherlands this week there were 2 major Emule sites taken down.
I dunno if TB has been down because they needed to fix something or BREIN (dutch MPAA) was responsible.

if you have a torrent file on your HD from TB it will still work :cool:

ISO Hunt - ISO Hunt is an IRC and BitTorrent search engine. They also provide a BitTorrent Tracking service. Although they have not been shut down, they have been served with a Cease and Desist letter. From ISOHunt.com: "We've been emailed a cease & desist letter from them, with a "sample" of infringing links. We are in the process of working this out with them, as per our copyright policy."

who is gloating? I was just joking with all the whats your share ratio threads for TB.
besides according to the irc channel its a bug ;) I hope that come back, but its too much of a coincidence.
BT isn't a good way to file share anyway, its too inscure and I knew this was comming, it was just too easy for noobs getting warez.

Yeah they were pritty good, i was about to leech cd3 of that vampire game. however i found myself using them less and less as i got more into the scene and with ftp's and such.

They were the best Bittorent site out there. I wish they had aken Suprnova insted.

I don't doubt that BT has it's vulnerabilties, it's main one being it was the most popular protocol to download movies with.

Still, you sounded like a nob in your post. Almost happy to see one of the best BT communties go down...smelled like gloating to me.:no:

Hmmmm.... also something is up becuase Tb has four servers.

1 for the COD Server.
1 for the Forum
1 for the Tracker
1 or mysql and other misc stuff

All down....

If a tracker goes down then any downloads that are running when the tracker goes down will continue. However, you won't be able to start any new downloads nor restart a download you stopped.

Torrent sites have been getting hit hard lately. Quit a few have been forced to shut down.

Seems like all us "lazy" people who've become complacent due to the great speeds and latest releases available on TB are now running like headless chickens trying to find news,info and alternate BT sites.

Suppose the authorities should be commended for making us settled users find new places.

Just hope to hell TB get's back up soon cos it's without a doubt the best BT site out there (that I've found).

If i was you i would stop, think if the RIAA/MPAA do have the servers hey would be able to see your uploading and sharing the movie/game/file right now and have proof you fileshare and upload.

Just while TB is down, can anybody point me the right direction to get the episodes of Max & Paddy's road to nowhere, also the xbox stuff. Only place I've found them so far is Suprnova, but with being spoilt with TB's download speeds, Suprnova just seems so so slow :(
Current say on 14hours 27 mins, for a 157.58Mb file. TB, oh how I miss u :crying:

Ok guys I finally got some official news from the TB forum.


http://torrentbits.no-ip.org/

AT LAST!
I've got a chance to reply to some of these rumours and wild speculation!
(YES - this is going to be one of the Puppy's long boring posts,
but if you don't read it all, don't bother replying - NO CRIB NOTES AVAILABLE)

Firstly, I have to say,
I am extremely dissapointed with the response from some of the members of the TB community.
Scare-mongering and spreading rumours is not the most helpful thing to do in a situation like this!
I know everyone is unhappy about it, but don't burn your bridges with insults or by playing the blame game!

Secondly,
I am extremely delighted with the reponse form some of the members of the TB community.
Members like DeeJee, and Warlok, who are trying to keep us all together,
to get the correct information out. There are probably more that I don't know about yet....
and all those working behind the scenes.... Thanks guys Very Happy

OK lets get down to it.
A few facts:-
- I am extremely sad to report, that I have just found out that, TB, as we know it, is DEAD.
- The full reason why Rb choose to close down is still not yet known
- Rb was "on holiday" when the site went down, and is in no position to put it back up again,
or explain anything, until he gets back
- There was a Ddos attack - After the site went down!

One more fact:-
Nobody, REPEAT, nobody, except Redbeard knows what Redbeard is planning to do.

Keep watching torrentbits.org for a statement.
It's the ONLY place to get the full facts

This makes no sense. As it stands (with this post) you are saying you leeched like a "mofo" and you weren't going to seed...

Thus, if Peerzy wants to call you a leech then he would know what he's talking about because you just said you were a leech.

If you try to sign-up for an account it will let you, and sends a confermation, but tries to verify it with torrentbits.org which is still off-line (so you can't register). If you have an account proceed with caution as always, it maybe someone trying to swip log-ins.

Ok, the thing you have to do to register at cyphersworld is this:

*Remember that TB accounts doesnt work anymore.*

1.Go to the register page and fill in your Disered username, password etc.
2.Once you have got the confirmation mail, you have to click the link in it. If i'm right, this doesnt work.
3. Now replace the "torrentbits.org" test in your adress bar by "cyphersworld.com"
4. Press enter and it will work. Unfortunately there arent any torrents. Be quick cuz the number of members is raising fast @ the moment!

Since the source for the TB software was opened up two weeks ago it's likely that someone, unconnected with the TB admin team, has simply copied the layout and could be acting with malevolence.

This sucks big time. I got way to complacent over the last year or so with BT. I used to be a more active member on other sites, but bt is so fucking easy that I just concentrated on that scene for a while because no work was involved. Now it seems like everything is falling apart, but I doubt that to be the case. After the FLT busts shit really hit the fan and many people chose to let up when the pressure is on to avoid getting in serious legal/financial troubles.

The current situation seems to be similar to that. A few site were taken down and now other top sites are calling it quits in the interest of safety. Since this stuff is much more public than other sites we have near DDOS levels of traffic hitting other top torrent sites looking for some type of comfort, or what have you. Seriously though the best thing to do now is sit back and relax. Let this all blow over and enjoy the holidays and there will most certainly be sites to go to in the future.
