Title: ISOHunt.com is down.
Post by: Quemaqua on Saturday, January 20, 2007, 03:03:48 AM
Damn.  I was hoping to find a torrent for the first episode of Psych's 2nd season since Julia missed it and I got to see it, but couldn't find it anywhere else.  Seems like everybody's getting smacked around these days.

Yeah, no sign of it.  The torrent search sites that I go removed it as well.

That was my favorite one. :(

This is their status:

Update, Jan. 16, 2007 Lawyers from our primary ISP decided to pull our plug without any advance notice, as of 14:45 PST. No doubt about our lawsuit brought by the MPAA. We will be back in operation once we sort out this mess with our ISP, or we get new hardware ready from another ISP (already working on that). Sit back and enjoy the rest of the internet in the mean time. While it last. - The isoHunt crew we get our servers back in the US, we will be back in full operation sooner or later.

    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. 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. :-)

    12:45 PST - IH We are moving house. If the tubes run smoothly, we expect to be back in full swing tomorrow.

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

    22:02 PST - IH 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. Tomorrow is most likely when we will restore all services.]

So they'll be back it seems, in the mean time try Torrentspy, Torrentbox, and Torrentreactor if you haven't already.  Also what show is that, Psych?  If it is something they show on a major network like NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, etc, a lot of those networks show streaming episodes of new shows on their websites, I know FOX, ABC, and NBC do it.

It's on USA.  They don't stream it that I know of.  The first season, people were putting up torrents of whatever they recorded from TV like nearly the night of the first showing.  I'm sure some will pop up

And nobody forget Mininova.org.  They're my favorite.

So guys, dont you just love downloading all these Linux ISOs and legal game demos via BitTorrent? I know I do!

Absolutely!  Why, just the other day I found an amazing torrent for a pack of freeware games.  The convenience is astounding, and it's good people spread the word of good stuff in the amateur game-making community.

One weekend, $7000 dollars in donations, and a new ISP later, they're back up.

Let me be the first to say, HA-HAH!
