One of my favourite and, I'm sure of many others' too, torrent sites is dysfunctional now,
This is what they have to say

Lawyers from our primary ISP decided to pull our plug without any advance notice, as of 14:45 PST. No doubt related to our lawsuit brought by the MPAA, but we don't have more information at this time until people responsible comes to work tomorrow. We will be back in operation once we sort out this mess with our current ISP, or we get new hardware ready at our new ISP.

Temporarily down (isohunt.com, torrentbox.com, podtropolis.com)
 
UPDATE:

Update, Jan. 17

FYI, since this is a common topic, no, moving servers to Sweden or Sealand isn't going to help. I have no intention of hiding our servers (not that I have anything against Sweden, I love IKEA). BitTorrent was created for distribution of any large media file, and we stand by that ideal as a search engine and aggregator. Our current ISP is in the US. Our new ISP is in Canada, where this temporary page is being served. Depending on whether we get our servers back in the US, we will be back in full operation sooner or later.

So after screwing around with our gigabit switch for a few hours, I've given up on one particular task and I'm moving on, hopefully we'll have our data back today, because if we do, we should be at least halfway back up by friday. If we don't get our data back from our previous provider, it may take a little longer to come back live again, but we are working on it, so be patient. :)

12:45 PST - IH

We are moving house. If the tubes run smoothly, we expect to be back in full swing tomorrow.

Hopefully it should get functional soon.
 
bad news ppl.....

btw, am new here....

but according to the site it should be back again tomorrow....which is gud news....

im using torrentspy and mininova in ta meanwhile....
 
Isohunt can't go down. Its simply asssociated with the piracy scene because its the google of P2P. Its the best search endgine for torrents. They can't ban google if it brings up warez and porn on results, can they?

It'll be back.
 
Even if it does go down a replacement will come up even faster.

When Suprnova went down, Torrentspy, Mininova, Torrentreactor came up fighting for Suprnova's lost crowd.
