I woke up this morning to check on the status of a torrent I was sharing with my friend and to my surprise I saw that the torrent was showing a red status icon.

I looked around to see if everything was ok, and yes everything including my internet connection was working fine.

On further research I checked the tracker and saw the problem, the OpenBittorrent tracker I was using for the torrent is showing as offline.

I tried loading the site but it seems to have some problems, there is no official word from OpenBittorrent yet. Have anyone of you been seeing similar issues with the OpenBittorrent tracker?

Will keep you updated with the further news as I come across it.

    According to some, openbittorrent appears to operate on Pirate Bay’s hosting (and by same of the same people), so that would explain why it went down at the same time as Pirate Bay. You probably shouldn’t expect it to be back up until Pirate Bay is back up, too. See the URL below:
