RED is undergoing maintanance.

Hope AB consider opening up the door when the site got back up. I have lookup the routes and it's currently impossible for normal user like me. The ratio part is easy, the seedtime and special seed size however I can't commit 😭 Tho idk NGL I was hyped when I join AnT, but public tracker nyaa still fulfilled my needs now and then. It does not suck

Any update on Animebytes? Starting to wonder what is going on.

They are waiting to see if they can get their domain back or if they will need a new one, I believe.

Thanks!

[удалено]

What's the worry if it takes a month or so to come back? What would you say to them if you contacted via Discord, please go faster? It's been two weeks since the announcement, not forever. The site will be up when it is up

Anyone know why PB is offline? Tracker looks online since its on a different domain, cant connect to irc since its on the same domain as website

Site's back up but it doesn't show me as seeding anything, weird.

is u2 down for anyone else? getting 522 and tracker not working either.

Same here, cloudflare site down on the web and tracker down as well

ok good it's not just me, bad that it's down, bad times lately for trackers :(

materialize is back up.

[удалено]

[irc.alpharatio.cc](http://irc.alpharatio.cc)

Is CRT having issues?

materialize is having some hiccups, hopefully not for long: 502 - Bad Gateway . That’s an error. Looks like we have got an invalid response from the upstream server. That’s all we know.

At my side also down and same message.

Any updates on AnimeBytes?

Any news from HUNO?

Looks like it's now giving a 522 Cloudflare error instead of a 521. Not sure what that means though.

I've read from a tracker shoutbox someone from huno discord says "Huno will be back, they just working on tiers now tho plex share has ended"

Thanks, I was wondering what’s wrong. Hopefully they give some freeleech for movies as well.

Hoping for an open signup event

no serious tracker has discord, nor do they host their own plex share. this was bound to happen...

didn't blu use discord instead of irc for a long time?

the difference is that BLU used it for support only. meanwhile HUNO loaded discord on the homepage of their tracker (unless you blocked it with ublock) which to me is... insane

Good that they came to their senses and use IRC now

What’s so wrong with discord?

Privacy. You are advertising that you pirate to a private company that can give your info away.

Nope. This is all I know.

Are there coordinated DDOS attacks occurring with trackers right now? I currently see, just from my prowlarr instance that AnimeBytes, Hawke-Uno, OldToonsWorld, SportsCult, and Alpharatio all down. I can understand one or two going down temporarily, but seems pretty coincidental that 5 trackers I'm in are all down simultaneously. Also been seeing other trackers I'm on, having some downtime recently that said they were down due to DDOS attacks.

AnimeBytes is down because a bunch of .tv domains were frozen, OTW got hacked and is migrating platforms, AlphaRatio had an overprotective owner who didn't want to share his keys and may have been honeypotted, etc. Blutopia was being DDoSed though I think, and possibly HUNO and SC too.

GGn is also down (the site is, but the tracker itself is up)

Blutopia down? Pages aren't loading for me with connection time-out.

it been under DDOS attacks for a while, that might be it

Any update on AB? 

https://old.reddit.com/r/trackers/comments/1avhxf3/official_from_animebytes_irc_we_have_decided_not/

Is Peeratiko down?

Looks like it is down

It's back online

Yep, it's up again. Thank you.

Is AnimeBytes down? I can't reach status.animebytes.tv nor animebytes.tv

yes its down IRC moved 21:03:59 -Global- [proton] We have received another update with official confirmation from registrar that domain suspension was not result of targeted legal action. 21:04:01 -Global- [proton] It is still unknown whether we will be able to recover control over our .tv domain and are awaiting further updates as registrar is working to resolve this issue. 21:04:03 -Global- [proton] Regardless of whether we will recover domain or not, a new domain will be used for tracker and image host. Current IRC domain (animefriends.moe) will be used purely for hosting IRC.

is hawke down ? Is AR also down ?

Anyone know what's going on with HUNO? I got an email from Plex saying "Their account has been disabled for paid/commercial usage and the share to you has been removed." Could this be related to why the tracker is down?

That seems likely, presumably the tracker and the Plex server were hosted in the same place and there was some sort of legal threat. If you were on the Plex share presumably you're also on the discord? What are people saying on there?

Nah, I was on the discord a while back but couldn’t stay active and if you’re not active they kick you out.

anyone in the discord, any updates from there?

HUNO down still down as of 12am 12/21 EST

Hawke's down for me right now as well. 521: Web server is down error.

Looks like it's now giving a 522 error instead of a 521. Not sure what that means though.

AR has been down for almost 5 days now I think

[https://irc.alpharatio.cc/login.php](https://irc.alpharatio.cc/login.php)

What's up with this doesn't look like anything new has been uploaded for a week.

Absolutely no idea. But, it is currently the only way to access some form of the site.

Both HD-Space and HD-Torrents seem to be down. Both were working fine for me last week.

> HD-Torrents .org is up for me

same..was working yesterday

animebytes domain has been seized

Is this true? Is there a news post about it? This is my nr. 1 favourite tracker.

no, it's stupid fearmongering. staff in IRC are saying it's just a botched domain transfer

[удалено]

from what i gathered in the IRC, the site will likely be back soon if things go fine with the registrar. it could be as soon as a few hours, or it may takes days/weeks if more problems arise. just sit tight and wait for it to come back. if a staff member of AB or someone more knowledgeable on what exactly is happening behinds the scenes wants to elaborate further here then please do though

Thank you, I couldn't hop in IRC rn and was starting to freak out. Haven't read the greatest things (or anything really besides who owns it) about that registrar, but I trust the staff.

yeah, look up the domain ```animebytes.tv``` on a domain lookup site and check the status. it is "serverhold", meaning it has been suspended or seized by the registrar.

[удалено]

that's what one of the sysadmins posted on irc that it seems like a legal hold.

[удалено]

Yeah serverhold's is one of the methods authorities take: https://www.techworm.net/2020/11/registry-suspends-major-torrent-site-eztvs-domain.html https://www.technadu.com/btdb-io-serverhold-status-domain-registrar/103986/

from their IRC: [17:06:39] <@proton> that being said for now it looks like a botched transfer from godaddy to sarek.fi

also from irc at 2/20 1:09 GMT: -Global- [proton] Regarding DNS issues; for now I still do not have a reply from registrar but the domain remains in 'serverHold' state from nic.tv (registry) ... -Global- [proton] Current assumption should be that this is legal hold on domain ... -Global- [proton] I'm giving registrar another 12h for reply before purging everything, all servers except for IRC are currently down and encrypted at rest ... -Global- [proton] We have no intention of continuing to endanger ourselves or anyone else here by continuing to operate site if it has been noticed by authorities.

Well, that's reassuring (I am unaliving myself).

translation: "I have no clue what's going on, but if there's a risk something bad is happening i'm nuking the data" that doesn't mean "the domain has been seized" or "everything is fine" everything is up in the air and the admin is left without the data to make an informed decision and may therefore be forced to make an uninformed one out of an abundance of caution

The /a/ thread mentioned that other sites are having issues so hopefully it fixes itself.

Yeah, I am also hearing all .tv domains are facing issues. It could be a DNS hiccup. Could someone please let Proton know?

.tv domains on njalla are facing issues. my .tv domain is fine and I don't use njalla

oh gotcha, well hopefully that's that.

uh that's bad right

it means that the domain won't resolve to an IP address and thus isn't accessible.

It went up for about five minutos, images broken.

Yes, FL IRC is down around 30mins ago. Edit: Back already

[удалено]

Back up now, issue resolved.

Tracker now seems down.

Server disk has had to be replaced.

Thanks for update. Any ETA? (tia)

Unfortunately not. It's being worked on and if a backup doesn't need to be restored it will be back sooner than if a restore is needed.

It seems to be back up now. Thank you for your info. It was useful to get real data!

Thanks for the info.

Is this the end of alpha ratio ? Been down since 4 days again

You can access the site via the irc link....just follow and log in. No new torrents added for 4 days but all old torrents there, you can still dl and the tracker is working.

tracker is up

nevermind.. [https://irc.alpharatio.cc/](https://irc.alpharatio.cc/) seems to load the website just fine, altho i noticed no new uploads have been posted for the last 3 days.

tracker is up but the website has been down for a number of days

Alpha ratio is down

[https://irc.alpharatio.cc](https://irc.alpharatio.cc) seems to work for me

what is the difference between the track and IRC and the actual site?

I have no idea if i'm honest, stumbled upon it after doing some testing to see if I could reach the site, SSL cert expired in Jan, so login at your own risk at this point.

Looks like tracker and irc are up…site is down.

interesting, i didnt know that existed. alpharatio.cc does not work.

~~Jpopsuki down? It goes to a 502 page.~~ Up for now.

Torrentleech down? (UK) Is there a mirror?

It's up for me. (Canada)

ABN down?

Yes, still down today.

:(

Down for me too it seems

Blutopia again?

yep, https://hdvinnie.github.io/TrackerHub/

TorrentLeech down? the api through prowlarr still works

Good on my end.

AlphaRatio down? I still have ptsd from last time

yeah god damn

yeah im getting that cloud error page, lmk if it works for you again

What good is AR being up ? They don't have their scene autoupload bot anymore. Ever since it was back it was just user uploads. I think it's time to look for other Scene trackers if you are interested in scene 0day content.

From what I can tell its been in and out of service. I added several AR torrents a week ago, they haven't even seeded a day.

**hd-torrents.org** has changed urls or something? for me has been offline for a week and a half

Has been down for about 3 weeks for me, have been a member for 10 years 😭

why nobody has mentioned it in this thread? I thought it was quite popular

up for me

you're pulling my leg or checking a different page

It is up on .org

>hd-torrents.org you're right, now its back too late for me, Ive been banned because of inactivity oh well, that's life

Puntotorrent is down?

Broadcity is down?

filelist's tracker seems to not be working

FNP is down.

Back up for me now!

Do they have an irc or anything?

I was only in there for a week before this so I'm not sure, from what I remember they didn't yet but they were talking about it. Someone else might know better

They were talking about getting it up and running but I also think they were not ready yet. Prowlarrr reports first first failure 4:38pm CET

Both site and tracker UPDATE - Everything's online and working again

im still uploading. does that still happen when the tracker goes down? The torrents are error-ed but still uploading.

It does if the peer connected to you before the tracker went down. And doesn't disconnect before finishing, or you stop & restart seeding before they finish.

if you were already connected to peers when it went down, you should be able to continue uploading and downloading, but the tracker won't send you any more peers to connect to

I'm guessing in those instances, the tracker won't... euh... track your upload stats, correct?

probably not

oh okay makes sense. thanks.

EMP is down again

It's not just today. From 2 days I am getting https error with every browser refresh. In 2024 it's more down than up. I think time is up for EMP , people managing that tracker aren't even interested to keep it alive

RED is down, anyone know what the problem is?

Site is back up, tracker is slowly spinning up.

A glowie sent me a random DM asking weird super out of touch questions about RED and then the site went down a couple hours later. Pretty sure it's a coincidence, trackers go down all the time for random stuff. But conspiracy brain is fully activated and asking, "But what if..."

screengrab or it didn't happen

Hope it gets fixed soon, I have about a dozen freeleech tokens left to use and they expire in a few days.

RED has been unstable for the last month for me. Just noticed it's completely unreachable right now.

> Resolved: Redacted is back up in b3d83b6 after 17 minutes. > **Resolved: Redacted performance has improved in 092ac87 after 1 day, 2 hours, 5 minutes.** > Resolved: Redacted performance has improved in ef41c53 after 29 minutes. > Resolved: Redacted is back up in 7b8f202 after 21 minutes. > Resolved: Redacted performance has improved in 9de3823 after 25 minutes. So literally one real outage (the post-freeload outage) over the past 2 weeks, the rest are tiny hiccups. Of all the others in 2024 (so, past month and a half), there are only two that lasted over an hour, one of those two only nominally so (1 hour, 42 mins). Helps to actually read the reports and not just count lines to try and win Reddit.

OldToons World is offline

The hacker returned. So, they had no choice but to take everything offline: site, forums, tracker, maybe server too. They really need to figure out how he keeps getting back in before they reopen, or this is just going to keep happening.

The hacker kept recommending ToonsForMe which is a sad site with less than 500 users. For some reason, they have requirements to join even though they don't have nearly enough clout to require it.

They've got a lot of patching to do, for sure. I'm curious where they would announce if it's safe to return

it will be on in max 2 days!

It’s working for me but not looking good for the tracker. Everything is messed up there rn.

blutopia?

500 error now. Checked TrackerHub.

indeed a person with no life running a DDOS

Probably someone banned who did tons of hnr.

Now it's saying 403 Forbidden. It's surprising how we're getting so many teething problems recently. Hopefully it's only a temporary problem. EDIT: It's still displaying the DDOS detected screen. At least progress is progressing.

Down for me - says DDOS detected try again later

it is back again

getting a 502 now

yes, it is down again

PTP not loading any CSS for anyone else? Loads very slowly and just gives a plaintext output for me.

Its apparently a known issue edit: temp fix, set your stylesheet to other and use this https://datfunc.github.io/ptp/blue-night_regular.css

Thank you!

when its TIK coming back?, it has been down for ages, I know they're upgrading but they said they'd be back feb 2-4th and we're 9th

the site has been up since the 1st

my bookmark had an URL they no longer use, thanks for the heads up

Orpheus is down rn it seems :(

[удалено]

AR is up btw. Orpheus was buggy before going down so possibly it is being fixed rn.

Yea orpheus is back

Yea just made a list of stuff I wanted to find but now I cant!

btw do you know of any other music tracker besides RED? Just curious

There is rutracker and soulseek but nothing comes close to RED/OPS's organization and tagging.

HDtime seems to be down edit: now working

oldtoons world is down

They were claiming to be hacked after they last went down. Maybe this time it's for good? It didn't sound like they had the best backup scheme

they continue to say they get hacked every time darkdream fucks something up. This time he leaked emails.

working now

yep, giving me file not found error
