[News] The Official Boxtorrents Thread

Okay, I'm sure many of you are familiar with boxtorrents by now. I've made a thread concerning their up and down status in the past before and I figure since it is likely that they'll go down again in the future I might as well create a thread for it once more.

For those unfamiliar with boxtorrents it is a website that only hosts torrents of complete series, ovas, mangas, hentais, soundtracks, and various other large collections. While they don't carry certain licensed material (ADV and a few others) they have just about everything else and full torrents of recently completed current series. So yeah it's a pretty important and useful website.

Their ISP wasn't expecting google-type bandwidth so they shut down their bandwidth on holiday weekends and stuff. Expect it to be up on Wednesday after July 4th weekend is completed. Hey, it's not a bad deal for having box up the rest of the year.

Please post in this thread if you see Boxtorrents go down or come back up. Thank you.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No prob. Just give a yell in this thread if it goes down again.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Funny, it's up over here. Must have been a quick downtime. *shrug*

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

This is why I kind of wish you could set edit permissions for certain users per thread. I'd definitely give you permission to edit the first post, dude, if it was possible.

But hey I did say I was going to sleep last time so I must have forgotten since yeah I totally used box yesterday.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Thanks, I'll go look into this. Hopefully they'll have it up again soon and that any torrents that were running are still okay to go. I've been downloading Legend of Galactic Heroes and I'd hope that it's still been downloading from people using the torrent all this time. Oh well. Updating the first post.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, box is still down but if you were torrenting from there before it went down you may still be able to connect to people seeding. I am for Legend of Galactic Heroes. Getting good speeds too. =)

Really, you can't use that to sign up anymore? =o

FELIPE NO

Must have been down only for a few hours then. It's up now.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That sucks. Stupid Internets.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Doesn't seem to be down for me. =o

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'd tell you what was going on if I could but for reasons unknown to me my address to their irc channel is banned. I haven't gone there in months and I never say anything worthy of a ban so I'm clueless as for the reason why. Maybe aku could shed some light but yeah the website and forums are down.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Site, forums, and tracker are down and they have *.ip range banned on IRC. That's why I can't get to it and why a bunch of people can't. Tails was able to though. Not sure why it's down though.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yup, it's back. However the *.ip bans on IRC are still in place which sucks ass.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, I noticed that last night. Figured I'd give them a few hours before confirming. I'll go change the first post.

How ya doing, buddy?

Nope. I noticed that a couple hours ago myself but figured I'd wait a bit since they sometimes have quick downtimes.

FELIPE NO

Nope, it seems to be down again.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You still usually get just one pop-up with Firefox unless you have some fancy plug-in or something.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
