    Default ABT AudioBookTorrents.com shut down?

    Has the domain been confiscated or do they have serious server troubles?

    Yesterday I was chatting with their staff and they gave no hint that any closure or update was coming up.

    Well I certainly hope it isn't shutdown. It's my favorite tracker by far.

    I came here to post the same thing. Somthing must be wrong. When you visit there site it loads a Go Daddy page saying the domain is for sale.

    They posted on the irc: 'We were DDOS'ed with over 30 gpbs, taking down the whole rack our server is on. Unknown ETA until fixed.'

    The tracker is operational at the moment so that's good at least. I also managed to log in to the site a few minutes ago although the index page is completely screwed up and trying to navigate anywhere from it gets you the GoDaddy page. It looks like they're hard at work repairing the damage, but could be a while before everything's fully operational.

    The site is now back up and operational at www.abtorrents.me

    If your torrents aren't tracking then you may need to go to the torrent's properties and change the tracker address from .com to .me Either that, or you should be able to go to the site and re-download the torrent to add the correct tracker details.

    With all crappy sites out there, the hackers decide to DDOS a nice educational site! Who does this? <smh>

    The mods were smart enough to accomplish something out of this (changed the domain to more secure, .me)
