Re: BitTorrent Trackers DOWN or BACK UP

Is BitHQ down yet again? Getting the dreaded hostname not found again on my end.

Eesh, I certainly hope not. But, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...

Not a tracker, is it? Anyway, it's down here, also. Just like BitHQ.

Re: BitTorrent Trackers DOWN or BACK UP

for bhq, this was offered to me by another user and worked (but i had to delete spybot search and destroy to do it, since it sets hosts file to read-only)

Just edit your host file by adding the line:

96.45.180.130 www.bithq.org

Windows path:
c:\windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

Not sure what that's suppose to do since it seem like BitHQ is down because their server is down.

BitHQ has been working just fine for me other than their DNS issues and no simply typing their IP address in a browser won't work.

Tried the hosts file thing, it didn't work also. And I'm not even a member, so the previous DNS record wasn't cached.

I have successfully tried this on all the boxes I have root on (multiple countries). Your OS may be caching the DNS records, I know Windows does. On XP this can be temporarily disabled eg. by typing net stop "DNS client" in the Run dialog. The above will work for clients when followed by a re-announce, for browsers you have to clear their internal DNS cache which can be done by restarting the browser and clearing the cache (in Firefox: from options->advanced->network), but pressing refresh several times also works.

Re: BitTorrent Trackers DOWN or BACK UP

I'm aware of those tips, I've even set my DNS Client service to avoid caching negative responses. Just in case, I followed all your steps (flushed and restarted the service, used a different browser) and it's still not loading. Which is pretty strange.

Re: BitTorrent Trackers DOWN or BACK UP

If BitHq is having DNS issues then shouldn't it be BitHq fixing up their issues instead of us trying to fix this. Not like every members is going to come here to learn about it.

Re: BitTorrent Trackers DOWN or BACK UP

to some folks above,
you get the message about appache if all you do is type in the numerical ip string.

to edit hosts in win7, copy hosts to another directory, maybe make a backup of it for later (eventually after they fix it i suggest reverting backk to old hostss, as later on after they change IPs, it may prevent you from logging in)
anyhow, copy to a diff directory, open with notepad, i may have used eelevated status but it may not be necessary if it is in a diff dir
save it.
copy it and paste over the hosts file in the sys32/..etc folder, say yes to any prompts.

some people may have to reboot for this to take effect.

if this doesn't work, with flushing dns after ward and rebooting again, on top of it, i am out of suggestions.

i have posted this in forums, but have yet to get mods/ admins/sys op response, but other users are speaking up, and echoing thoughts here, that even if people know it, not everyone will try or even be able to do it; plus i am unable to do this for my seedbox (no root) and i know this affects others too, even at home, being a regular user, not admin.

But the site says the following

We are experiencing some major server issues at the moment. Logins are not possible so the site is currently down.
At the moment, it is unlikely the site will be back up for quite a while, if at all :(

That's a message for those who have nothing to do on the site. Logins work just fine if your account is enabled. ;)
