    We're under a quite big ddos attack. We don't know who's behind it but we have our suspicions...
    Once we've awaken our tech guru Winston Q we'll get on the issue.



    Quote: File-sharing website The Pirate Bay has dubbed distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks by the Anonymous collective on telcos ordered to blacklist the site as censorship.

    The Pirate Bay responded on its Facebook group to the DDoS attacks and said it did not encourage the actions and believed "in the open and free internet, where anyone can express their views. Even if we strongly disagree with them and even if they hate us".

    “So don't fight them using their ugly methods. DDoS and blocks are both forms of censorship. If you want to help, start a tracker, arrange a manifestation, join or start a pirate party, teach your friends the art of Bittorrent, set up a proxy, write [to] your political representatives, develop a new p2p protocol, print some pro-piracy posters… support our promo bay artists or just be a nice person and give your mum a call to tell her you love her,” it said.

    I'm pretty sure it was a routing issue. While it was happening, I did a trace and found that I lost packets long before getting to TPB's server.

    tpb seems to be confirming it was a ddos now with the phoenix logo that directs to their facebook page which reads "took a ddos in the knee"
