| Re: Well they are still offline Umm, they'll be back in action soon. It's just a very valuable resource for those that use torrents. The fact that the **AssAss's don't like it, well, that's just an extra bonus!

| We need to shut google down since the aid and abet my search for torrents. While we're at it, we should shut down every internet site that has a hyperlink to a torrent site or file.

| Re: Well they are still offline We need to shut down the entire internet for 10 years or so...maybe more..then we won't have these blood sucking pirates anymore. We can go back to being ripped off by the music and movie industry, just like the good ol' days. While we are at it, might as well stop making DVD's since they are way too easy to duplicate, and go back to standard VHS. I also think digital cable should be outlawed, as well as the sale of blank CD's and DVD's. Computers with a processor speed above 100MHz should be banned as well, since they can do too much. MP3 players should be banned and anyone owning one should be thrown in jail for at least 9 months. Apple should be shut down entirely, with the assets going to the music and movie industry. Satellite radio needs to be banned as well. To easy to record that stuff. We need to get back to the traditions...commercial radio and TV. Oh...and video stores must wait at least a year after a movie's release to theaters before renting.
There..that should make them happy. Now i am off to burn my laptop, mp3 player, dvd player etc, since I am such a bad citizen.

| Re: Well they are still offline Agreed.
The xxIA has way too much legal power and influence, given their original intent.
We should penalize them for all the frivolous lawsuits within the past 2 years.
Maybe they'd think twice about waging a holy war on every server that contains the words "file sharing".

And a traceroute seems to indicate that Cogent Communications was the ISP involved. I believe the term you're looking for is: cat-and-mouse. Piracy will never end and RIAA will never give up trying to fight it, as long as there's money to be made or money to be saved. | |

| Re: Well they are still offline Now that's not sensible. The ISP has no choice in such matters. Under the DMCA, they're a common carrier and can't be held liable for what their customers do, but only if they respond to valid takedown requests. I hate MPAA/RIAA, too, but if I ran an ISP I would comply with legal requirements - like them or not. | |

Update, Jan. 17 FYI, since this is a common topic, no, moving servers to Sweden or Sealand isn't going to help. I have no intention of hiding our servers. BitTorrent was created for legitimate distribution of large media files, and we stand by that philosophy as a search engine and aggregator. Our current ISP is in the US. Our new ISP is in Canada, where this temporary page is being served. Depending on whether we get our servers back in the US, we will be back in full operation sooner or later. Update, Jan. 17, 2007 15:40 GMT - SecretSquirrel So after screwing around with our gigabit switch for a few hours, I've given up on one particular task and I'm moving on, hopefully we'll have our data back today, because if we do, we should be at least halfway back up by friday. If we don't get our data back from our previous provider, it may take a little longer to come back live again, but we are working on it, so be patient.

Update, Jan. 18
13:26 PST - SecretSquirrel
We've got our data in Canada, we're working on bringing the site back online. Hopefully we'll be done Real Soon Now.

Had to fight with hardware quirks, like on our shiny Raid array in the new database. It's screaming fast now, just the software remains to be setup across the cluster.
To those that asked, this move is a large upgrade in hardware, bandwidth and re-doing our infrastructure better based on past mistakes. So it's taking longer than just throwing up servers would have. (well, we threw up this server in an hour) Tomorrow is most likely when we will restore all services.
Update, Jan. 21
00:22 PST - IH
Ok, we ran into more snags (mainly with network hardware) than we anticipated, but we are getting real close now. I expect we can restore services by today.
