Uptobox Goes Dark Following Police Raids on French Datacenters (Updated) * TorrentFreak
torrentfreak.com
Uptobox reported serious technical issues this morning. Court-ordered police raids at two datacenters seem to be the likely cause.

So I use AD and RD. Sometimes shit it on one, or the other, or both. But this news sucks to hear.

    With Alldebrid? I mean the premium link generator still works well and fine. It’s just the cyberlocker aspect of it with regards to torrents that is messed up, since they used Uptobox. Still a bummer tho.

      Yeah, alldebrid. I just had a download error out. I’m going to investigate now…

      EDIT: Yeah it just errored out because it’s attempting to download from uptobox. I guess quite a bit of cached content is now unavailable.

        Were they hosting their files on uptobox’s servers? was this known prior to this? seems kind of crappy if they weren’t hosting on their own servers.

          On their homepage they list all the providers they use. I don’t believe it was ever meant to be understood they they host the files themselves. It seems like uptobox was just their first choice in uploads.
