I didn't break the site, and neither did Theseus. But it is indeed down, and we are still working on it. Just keep your fingers crossed that it comes back up sooner rather than later.

Yeah the picks this time were not so great. The problem with jumping on too fast is that the "free" part hasn't kicked in yet. And for people without a seedbox, the hit they take for downloading isn't really helped by the upload credit they get. Once a torrent hits 1k seeds - the seedboxes takes over and you can't get any upload ratio off of them.Quote:

Quit speculating and don't panic. We are still here and will be back up shortly. We don't have an ETA but we are working on the issue. Please bear with us, there are many more surprises when we come back. In the meantime why don't you join us on irc.what.cd #what.cd. <3 the staff

TDC seems to be down. Any news?
GFT back!
Anyone else getting this? I can't reach BCG or it's forums (sometimes the site just loads slow or is down and the forums are up) And even their IRC is not working for me :blink:

Thanks so much to everyone who has enjoyed the site. We apologize that we couldn't do a better job maintaining it.
Don't Panic!
Rutracker and What.CD are both inaccessible. Panic.
What.CD Up :01: and freeleech for all new torrents which will get uploaded in the next 6 hours.
edit:
rutracker works fine as well.(never noticed the downtime)
If I understand correctly I see that if you joined What before 1 month you have 10 days of freeleech?
If you joined more than 1 month ago you had 10 days of freeleech (past tense). The stats of the last 10 days aren't taken into account.Quote:

what.cd down again
thanks
What.cd came back for a while:
Now they're down again ("Brb!").Quote:
We're back!
Secondly, you guys deserve an explanation of exactly what went down in the last few days, there's no easy way to give bad news.
There was a database crash on our main server which corrupted all of our data. The good news is, we have managed to recover almost all of the database. As fate would have it however, the tables that we were unable to recover included those for torrents, and those for users. This, of course, is where our backup solution would come into play. Due to the size of our database, and the importance of uptime, some conventional methods of backing up are unavailable to us, and we opted for a method that gave you no downtime. However, the backups themselves, due to an oversight on our part, were not correctly implemented and as such, torrents and users are now rolled back to the last available good back up taken ~1 month ago. We did manage to recover some data from the corrupted tables, so some recent torrents could be saved. Also, stats (upload and download) are recovered from 10 days ago.
What this means to your account: If you joined before 1 month ago, congratulations, you just got 10 days worth of free downloading on your account as your stats have rolled back.
If you joined after the cutoff however, don't worry, we have got your email addresses and have sent every single one of the lost users a new invite. If you want to be re-associated with your old activity (Forum posts, PMs etc.) then PM a staff member with the necessary information.
If you know somebody who joined after the cutoff, tell them they've been re-invited.
What this means to the torrents: We can't sugar coat it, we lost a lot of torrents. To try and get us back up to speed we will have a 6 hour freeleech on all new uploads when we've taken a look at the tracker. To repeat: there is no freeleech right now, we will make a new announcement when there is.
We will obviously be spending time in the coming days developing a new backup strategy that won't leave us in this horrible situation again, but may require small stints of downtime while we set them up.
ringhunter, RuTracker is up for me.
RuTracker is up here too.

Accessing via IP doesn't seem to work there. I suggest a modem/router reboot plus switching to alternative DNS servers if you haven't done that yet.Quote:

What is up again! At least for now..
whatcd was up for a bit but now i get
"The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
edit: well its working again(for now), I guess its just kinks from being down so long. tracker itself has yet to connect
What.cd's finally working for me. :happy:
Yep, it's back up. And this is one of those rare times I wish I had a seedbox.
Is BitHQ down?
Not loading here.Quote:
