Not been able to get on for a couple of days now. I know they had some instructions on the main page as to how to get on the site by changing some settings. If it's still available to some people can you post those settings please? thanks.

PM to ALL members of Torrentbytes.net

Hopefully, you're all enjoying your Christmas Stockings,
which our uploaders spend all night stitching together, especially for you.

The good news, as many of you may have seen already,
is that due to the goodness of the present owner of the torrenbytes.net domain,
we get to keep the name torrentbytes.net, and no longer need to use the backup domain as was planned.

The bad news is that while the DNS is updating, some of our members may be experiencing login problems.
In theory, the whole DNS issue should be resolved by around 12:00pm GMT, however, it may take a little longer.
During this time, you are still able to connect by editing your hosts file.

FOR WINDOWS USERS:-
Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ and open the file hosts with wordpad.
Underneath the line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
add the lines:
85.17.40.246 www.torrentbytes.net
85.17.40.247 tracker.torrentbytes.net
and save.


I haven't been able to get on since yesterday, so I'll give these instructions a try.
