RSS server offline?

www.ezrss.it isn't responding here, chrome gave me err_empty_response. tried to connect using my
phone's 3g network and got a similar error (server stopped responding).

not working for me either? - it hasn't worked since it's been 'up' for me.

i'm also not able to connect to it, since this morning.

got on this morning and utorrent timed out accessing it (red rss symbol), and just now i tried viewing it in
firefox, and it timed out.

it seems i need to buy more servers to handle the load.

there have also been reports that some routes are blocking the ip of ezrss, reasons i am unsure
about just yet, but i am looking into this.

doesn't seem to be the issue at least over here.

so the http server seems to have ground to halt.

cache, cache, cache. =)

p.s. the login problem seems to still be haunting the backends.

some isp's i think are silently blocking the ip (i cant even ping/tracert it), possibly due to a
perceived security risk. see:

i cant access the site either, looks like my isp(telia sonera) is blocking it too. i need to use tor
to get to the site.

someone seems to have reported this: http://94.75.216.31:85/~anddos/host.exe as a trojan.

the ip hosting ezrss.it (94.75.216.31) appears to be a botnet controller. it's running an irc
server on port 6667 with which infected machines communicate and is serving up trojans/malware on
port 85 (http://94.75.216.31:85/~anddos/) given that, it's entirely appropriate for isps to be
blocking it.

can't start a new thread for some reason...recently the rss feed has been missing some shows maybe
because of some parsing errors. prime examples are weeds and 10 things about you even though the
shows were distributed by eztv. can any admin please look into it.

also when making torrents can you guys include publicbt and the udp version of obt and publicbt. the
http ones can be removed once ut 2.0 becomes prevalent. right now my list suggestion is

http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce
udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce
http://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce
udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce

thanks

in a similar vein, i can't seem to connect to the openbittorrent.com tracker. anyone else having
that problem, and if so what is the solution?

me too, can't access the tracker, or the rss host (though i have been able since the move).

i have just bought another server to help with the server load for ezrss, this transitions will
occur over the next day or so, hopefully once complete ezrss should be able to be seen by all and
have better load times.

novaking: i'm not sure its a server load problem. comcast & verizon seem to be dropping packets to
ezrss.it here is a thread on the issue:
