Hacker News Reader

I would like to propose that such things are not allowed on Hacker News. There are websites on the Internet which will tell you if a website is down for just you or everybody. When a website goes down the sysadmins do everything humanly possible to get it back, no need to create noise about it.

It would be news if the reason for the downtime was published, to learn from others mistakes/problems.

I don't understand, why is this relevant to Hacker News?

Tend to agree, but to be fair whenever a major site/service ( Reddit, github, netflix etc ) goes down, it is inevitably posted.

And the rest of the Internet is surprisingly fast..!

Good one ;-)

And at least this time it's not domain name seizure. The server 194.71.107.27 is down.

Local proxies (eg the NL proxy [1]) are displaying their usual error page.

What part of "The Galaxy's most resilient bittorrent tracker" do you not get? :)

Now it's up again...

I'd guess DDOS?
