The Official Boxtorrents Thread

Okay, I'm sure many of you are familiar with boxtorrents by now. I've made a thread concerning their up and down status in the past before and I figure since it is likely that they'll go down again in the future I might as well create a thread for it once more.

For those unfamiliar with boxtorrents it is a website that only hosts torrents of complete series, ovas, mangas, hentais, soundtracks, and various other large collections. While they don't carry certain licensed material (ADV and a few others) they have just about everything else and full torrents of recently completed current series. So yeah it's a pretty important and useful website.

Their ISP wasn't expecting google-type bandwidth so they shut down their bandwidth on holiday weekends and stuff. Expect it to be up on Wednesday after July 4th weekend is completed. Hey, it's not a bad deal for having box up the rest of the year.

Please post in this thread if you see Boxtorrents go down or come back up. Thank you.

I was wondering where it was while at the same time trying to dispel a conspiracy for getting my internet back but the site was down.

Now I know what the deal was, thanks for the info Acer.

No prob. Just give a yell in this thread if it goes down again.

Finally I can leech a few more torrents so I can raise my ratio! Thanks!

(I'll post the Hare+Guu links back in that thread now)

Down 6.80GB
Up 2.95GB
Ratio
0.434

This is a great idea Acer. Good job.

Nice, Now I know where to come for some bxxtorrents info ^_^
looks like the site if offline right now though

Funny, it's up over here. Must have been a quick downtime. *shrug*

STATUS IS UP SILLY, just ilde in IRC and you will know that ^^ TIS WORKING NOW GO LEECH AND MAKE MY RATIO ROCKET

This is why I kind of wish you could set edit permissions for certain users per thread. I'd definitely give you permission to edit the first post, dude, if it was possible.

But hey I did say I was going to sleep last time so I must have forgotten since yeah I totally used box yesterday.

Seems to be down as of now.

It's been down for about 24 hours now, if not more. I guess maybe they are going to have to look for a new host.

Thanks, I'll go look into this. Hopefully they'll have it up again soon and that any torrents that were running are still okay to go. I've been downloading Legend of Galactic Heroes and I'd hope that it's still been downloading from people using the torrent all this time. Oh well. Updating the first post.

i cant connect since a few days (4?)

for some reasons i got a "unrecognized host" message pls goto "somepagenamehere and register" ( i registered there- and- asked in their forums whats going on - account status : banned ) :biggrin:



hope boxT is up soon :love:

Yeah, box is still down but if you were torrenting from there before it went down you may still be able to connect to people seeding. I am for Legend of Galactic Heroes. Getting good speeds too. =)

Thanks for the boxtorrents info! I hope it comes back again.

I'm watching Ep 103 of LOGH now. I'm really hating it now, but I'm forcing myself to get through the ending. The intro music changed later in the series, and is really bugging me, but I can skip past it. The store is less believeable now, and I'm understanding the characters less and less. I'll try seed it again anyway, as clients using the distributed database should find it.

As for a long series to watch, I'd recommend Monster.

I was wondering how most people can search on boxtorrent.com since it's still not possible to signup and the searchfunction over there is only possible via signing up???
Google isn't useful at all.
