For clarification:
- gay-torrents.org is down, and may very well stay down. The TLD has suspended their domain, so it now shows as an unresolvable hostname. Prior to that, CloudFlare had disabled their participation (as a front-end), resulting in timeouts connecting to the site.
To the best of MY knowledge, the site was taken down by court injunction as temporary/permanent relief in response to a DMCA-based lawsuit. - gaytorrents.net (no dash, different TLD, diffrent site owners, different software running the site AND trackers) has had some recent issues with their DNS - likely a change was made to the server IPs, and there were propagation delays in getting the front-ends (load balancers, etc) aligned - but that's conjecture.
AS OF TODAY, May 19 in North America, gay-torrents.org is no longer resolving, but gaytorrents.net is operating normally again.
One last comment: ORG got shutdown, according to news reports, because they FAILED to respond to DMCA requests to remove torrents. THIS SITE DOES NOT IGNORE DMCA requests, as many users have vociferously complained when their torrents were removed in response to DMCA action. Now you see WHY!
Not that it's 100% effective, but the site policy HERE to actually act on DMCA requests should help prevent this from happening here.
