I was in Ghana for a medical mission and now I can't log-in to my favorite tracker! I don't know what happened but a pop-up showed up asking me if I want to accept a certificate so I clicked 'Yes' and now the site gives me a 404 error!
Is the site down or is my account disabled or what? :cry:
All the sites that were hosted in malaysia have been shut down. Hopefully they will relocate soon.

Props on a Ghana medical mission!
Yeah big props for that. :)
The site is moving, B said not to worry...
Yep, their precious "secure" Malaysian server was seized. Wonder if this'll lead to prosecutions ...Quote:

Well, that would be odd...We had those infamous series of raids most notably on Bithumen (and lot of more) last year. My home does NOT appear to me as a safe haven, unless there's something I do miss.
I just hope FTN comes back. Good thing my downloads finished before it went down though
Thanks for the information.. Looking forward to FTN asap...
Offcourse great site will find the best possible place on earth...
let's hope that it won't be like with scenehd.org...
Thanks again for all the information, but its very sad :-(
I love FTN and the Stuff and community is just great, so i hope nobody get rl-probs...
edit:
This has nothing to do with a "peer2peer-bit-torrent-site" like FTN, their primary objective are TOP-SITES (-> HighSecureDDL/FTP-Sites), where the illegal content is born (not only shared/distibuted like FTN) ;-)Quote:

And about prosecutions, I wouldn't worry about it. They were asked to shut them down, they weren't confiscated.
thanks brandonQuote:

And what about account newer then that ? (like mine)
Is there any possibility to "recover" them ?
Like showing the invite confirmation email or the inviter vouch...idk something...
If your invite expires then your inviter should get it back. Ask him to reinvite u, once the site is up.
thanks god there is a backup...
but this question is realy important:
my acc is about 5 weeks old (last real invites round with the invites on donation of 5dollars)...
are those accounts backed up? and what about the even newer ones?
hopefully everything will be fine after all this trouble :)
You should have the opportunity to get re-invited by the user who invited you initially.Quote:

Yes...and i'll lose the account :(
I was stupid enough to delete my invite confirmation email. I just hope my inviter word is enough or my inviter get the invite back to send me again.
btw...my account only had a few hours when this happened :(
damn unlucky...
Great news Brandon :)
But what about our upload count? I did hard work getting my 250 GB of upload :)
question is, from when is the backup? :DQuote:

Man,It's great to see that ftn is coming back but I upped about 500 gigs last month..
It really hurts to see all of that go to waste.
:(
go to waste? it's on people hds and they used it. everything else is just a number on the tracker.Quote:

And for this case, just be glad the staff are putting in tons of time & effort to get some semblance of what normality they once had, applause all round for that I say.
I obviously made a bad choice of words there. Of course it doesn't go to waste. Excuse me...
Let's all just be happy that FTN is returning eh?
You gotta look at the positive side of all of this. We do have "A" backup, whereas we could have none at all and be telling you that the site was gone forever.
Put yourself in my position. All phase 2 work was still on that server. I should be the one upset :P But look at the positives, site will live on, and you'll still have the opportunity to upload another 200GB just as I will have the opportunity to re-write what was lost. And I couldn't have put it any better than what Polarbear said.
Besides, who knows, maybe i'll give everyone 200GB ;) And as I said, those who had invites will get invites again so long as you know who invited you.
PS: We just ordered another server.
we rove you brandron
Thanks Brandon for the great news, I really miss the site. :yes: :DQuote:
