    What's Happened To Dime?

    I've not been able to load the Dime-A-Dozen web site all day. IMO it's the best torrent site for rare prog goodies. Anyone know what's going on?

    I'm glad to hear that. Now I know my system isn't fucked up. my guess is they got hacked. it's happened before.

    This is unacceptable. It has to have been North Korea.

    Looks fine right now. Downloaded Procol Harum FM 11/14 in London w/ BBC Orchestra and a chorus yesterday, highly recommended.

    Yes, you've deduced a chubby geek's insidious plot to take over the world by hacking into a torrent website, stopping other geeks from being able to download Hawkwind, Queen, and Tangerine Dream bootlegs. Next, Kim Jong Uhn will go after Cinemageddon!

    NK has their panties bunched all up in their crack because of that flick coming out - The Interview. I guess they aren't all that much to be worried about if this is their response.

    It's happening again. This is what I get when I try to go there:

    ERROR

    The requested URL could not be retrieved

    While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-browse.php

    The following error was encountered:

    Unable to forward this request at this time.
    This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that:

    The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct connections to origin servers, and
    All configured parent caches are currently unreachable.

    Hey, you never know. Kim Jong Il mandated that all men get the same haircut that he has. Could you imagine if he was a prog nut? He'd force the entire nation to listen to prog and nothing else. It could be just what the genre needs.

    Oh, wait, they have little to no electricity.

    Well, there's a silver lining there in that he's not a fan of Georgio Tsoukalos. Could you imagine a bunch of guys with THAT hair? Now that would be scary.

    I think it will take a bit more than the hair.

    I would guess neither. The presence of the .torrent file up on the dimeadozen site is separate from peers (other bittorrent users such as yourself) actively online and sharing the files through the bittorrent client. Less popular items will be less common. I recently killed off a download that never got past 48% in over a year.

    I haven't been able to connect with any peers on Dime since Yesterday afternoon. I can on Trader's Den. when this has happened in the past, the word 'Firewalled' would be in the upper right-hand corner. Not there now.

    I just pulled down a few David Torn-related torrents, and they're downloading fine.
