I can't connect to www.torrentleech.org; is it down? I've tried both Firefox and Internet Explorer, neither are able to load the address. The last time I went on I started downloading a large DVD Rip, it is 4.43GB; I'm still slowly seeding this back via utorrent. The time elapsed on my utorrent for this movie is 1 day and 4 hours! I'm presently not downloading anything else and I set my seeding to unlimited; I'm only seeding at an average of 15 kB/s--what's going on? Also since I started downloading this movie I've noticed that amount of seeds(20) and peers(12) hasn't changed in all this time! So does this mean that everyone else has been locked out of torrentleech as well?

What the hell is going on? Do any of you know?

I just tried and the page would not come up.
I assume they are down temporarily-it is not unusual.
I have seen this with them several times befoer.

The site is down - its under ddos(denial of the service) attack. Tracker is down as well

From IRC:
We are having some technical problems for the moment, our tech support is working diligently to work out the few technical issues and site will be ok again as soon as possible. Please be patient while they resolve it.

Thanks to jeffw224 and Orfax for their posts confirming that torrentleech had been hit by hackers.

@-BFT-

No such luck there as TL stopped all registration and invites. Total lock down.

Try Bitsoup.

Down again... Hearing rumors of RIAA shut down, but this is common when a torrent site goes down. Can anyone tell me what is going on for sure? No speculation... someone who knows for sure. IRC users???

EDIT: Due to some technical issues of their provider, they experienced a small downtime today. It is fixed now.
