Numerous sources are reporting that Rutracker and Rutor went down in the evening yesterday.

It is said that it can be a result of a possible DDOS attack and Rutracker is confirming the attack at their twitter account:

The message says about the DDOS attack happening today, September,6, due to which the forum is not accessible.

Some sources publish a twitter message of the user @bycod3e:

As it is supposed this group can be responsible for the sites being down.

Some other sources were saying earlier about ISP problems.

In the past both trackers had been already been warned and blocked for illegal content but after deleting some content that caused the problem went back online.

At the moment of my message both trackers' sites are down meanwhile the server at least of one of them (rutracker) is functioning and serving the torrents downloaded earlier.

Copyrights: Dobry :-)

That would explain the 'Probably deleted' message I've been getting from ruTracker. Thanks.

The torrents downloaded before the site collapsed are served with no problem, I got a number or Rutracker torrents, all of them are connecting to the server at the moment. And it's worth not forgetting that Rutracker is not a private tracker, it allows DHT and PEX and even with the tracker down the torrents would connect between the users' computers, so obviously your torrent in the question was really deleted from the tracker before it went down, mate.

I hope this tracker back soon

They are going to be back, it's one of the biggest trackers in the world and the richest in the content, they have survived several severe problems.
