nyaatorrents not working

[Hornster]

as the title says - cant get through to nyaatorrents

got win7 64 bit and a i7 920, if this information helps

what I already did:
flushed dns cache
restarted computer
restarted router
checked site on other computer -> problem's only on my computer

so...
what do?

[aznplucky]

It's not working for me either.

Seems server problems. From Firefox;

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

Their channel on rizon might know more, but I haven't had a chance today to use irc, and won't till tomorrow...

As far as I know NyaaTorrents.org is hosted at the same provider as www.animesuki.com.

[18:50] <&Tux`> Affirmative.
[18:50] <~Nyaa> Mostly down. They're doing it wrong.
[18:50] <~Nyaa> Some can use it just fine.
[18:50] <~Nyaa> Routing issues.
[18:50] <Replica> :/
[18:50] <kjell2weawe> aha
[18:51] <Replica> I cannot get a connection with and without proxy
[18:51] <&Tux`> Location location location location.
[18:51] <Replica> Germany and france
[18:52] <Replica> With and without
[18:52] <~Nyaa> It's been known to work through Tiscali.
[18:52] <Replica> I think the ~1000km to the server in france should be enough

[mulesquito]

nyaatorrents.org appears to be down today (at the same time that animesuki lost its connection... were they using the same hosting service?)

[Hornster]

working again, I assume its the same case for you guys

[PositronCannon]

Yes, it's up again. When I read the topic title I thought it had finally shut down since I had read about how they couldn't get the money to pay for the server around a month ago... I guess donations managed to fix that.

[Mentar]

That's not it.

There's trouble at the German Internet exchange, DECIX. A key switch seems to have an ethernet loop somehow/somewhere, and that's causing the BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) of the net of several important providers to go totally crazy.

The effect for the users is that routing to Germany and France is flapping - routes are switching around, leading to asymmetrical routing and the general problems caused by it.

There's nothing you as the end user can do about it other than reloading often and patiently waiting until it's fixed.

Are you talking about an issue today or the one from last week (hint: check post dates)?

Afaik my response above was accurate for last week's issue that affected NyaaTorrents & AnimeSuki.com (torrent site), that involved a fibercut in the provider's network in Sweden followed by routing issues that (afaik) only involved that provider.

[Mentar]

Oh, if the issue is from last week, then my theory goes McFlat.

I can only say that what I listed DID happen and caused alot of problems in the German internet, and parts of the French one aswell, and I was assuming that it was responsible, rather than a cut fibre.
