Looks like this has gone offline unexpectedly.

 

I stopped visiting last year, their incredibly dumb "fence" drove me away.

However, I left my Packs bot uploading, but I noticed it fail today with 404 errors.

 

Thats a strange error to get from uploads, failures are usually timeouts or 5xx series errors.

 

On checking the site, it seems to have just gone, with a message "TGX is offline. Updates will be posted in case of any changes."

A rather ominous sounding message really, the tone and wording almost suggests they may not return anytime soon, or even at all.

It's back up now, happy to say.

Down again apparently as of sometime in the last day or two.

I cant really be more specific as I dont visit that often anymore.

 

This time just an image (of X23, from the film Logan) - nothing actual useful.

Apparently its too hard to put a simple explanation or message, instead of nonsense.

No real news but there's a TorrentFreak article here:

Yep, pretty much sums it up. Confused users (again), Moderators in the dark (again).

Those in charge dont exactly give a great impression of caring about either (users or staff).

 

The last time they just carried on as if nothing had happened, despite being off for about 2+ days.

Even more odd, on the forums, which are active, no one seemed to ask why (or all such questions were just deleted).

 

If, as you say, it went down Saturday PM, then its over 4 days now.

I've had to disable my packs upload bot as it kept complaining about the upload failures.

 

Not an issue for my comrade Saturn5, who noted "serves them right".

Longish story but his uploads had already been paused a few days earlier.

Basically due to their lack of action over certain idiots [comments & actions].

 

I suppose on the plus side, you may get a few more visitors here.

Now now, thats not exactly what I said, it was "well I suppose it serves them right"

 

It would be a shame I suppose, but I expect its like one of those bad pennies "keeps coming back" .

[battlestar]

.. I expect its like one of those bad pennies "keeps coming back" .

 

Someone mentioned its back today, so I checked, and that seems to be the case.

[Saturn5]

Well this place was offline earlier, and TGX was offline as well.

 

Glo is back (obviously, since I'm posting here) but TGX is still dead.

Yes we are still figuring the main cause as we currently have high load at the moment.

Its been like this for 3 days now. We will surely post an announcement for this downtime once all is resolved.

Torrentgalaxy.to is still down.. And so is .mx and tor as well. 

I'm checking it every hour. So tell me how you get on there... 

Be careful for any fakes. 

 

[Saturn5]

Torrent Galaxy is still down, so I dont know what site you're referring to ?

 

( Mafketal is one of the Admins on TGX, so I'm pretty sure he would know if its up/down as well )

 

 

.

I note TGX is hosted in Ukraine atm - that seems a somewhat odd choice for reliability.

I wish it get back to work asap, as I guess it's more than 2 days now, I'm sure new owners (techs) working on it, looking forward for faster fix.

 

By the way, Maf, if you folks need any hands on something, please do let me know, will love to share possible solution if anything supposed to be fixed or changed, Inbox me anytime

 

 

Cheers

My apologies, you are correct, I was confused by your simple statement

    [    Still down..    ] 

with no other reference and I assumed (never a good thing to do I know) 

that you were referring to our happy home at GLO; I did check for earlier

postings from you in this thread but couldn't find any.

 

I too am amongst the many that are missing our daily pop into TGX to 

see what's happening there.

 

Best regards.

I am hoping the new site moderators sort it soon, like GLO, they were asking for donations to keep it alive (after the takeover), it was always my backup for GLO if anything happened here....

 

Ermm, which takeover are you referring to?

You getting worried? lol. The TGX takeover, not ours.

Tbh it was the worst thing that the old owner could've done... 

The way it looks atm the new owners have no experience in running a site... 

So sad....

Well I stopped visiting due to issues with (lack of) moderation, but I considered its days numbered when they started begging for money.

If you take over running a site, you should know how much it costs to run, and where the money is coming from, for at least a year+ in advance.

 

As I said before, using hosting in Ukraine seems really bizarre, did they forget its at war, with its energy grid & communications repeatedly targeted.

Why did they sell it? Tired of keeping it running... or something else, I always thought you were in charge of the site

I wish that was true... Then it wouldn't have happened at all. 

They tried to change things but ended up breaking it... 

They never heard about the saying... 

Why fix it if it isn't broken...

There used to be ads but they stopped that..  

As for Ukraine.. Don't know about that... All is kept seperate.. Me and the others handled the frontdesk so to say
