Well this sucks [Uptobox and how it affects Alldebrid] - eviltoast

      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.

      https://x.com/Uptobox_com/status/1704510079125295167?s=20 According to Uptobox’s tweet none of the data lost, but I would take that with a grain of salt. Thus, I don’t know how its gonna affect things at Alldebrid and all those cached torrents

        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.

      Looks like they are hosted in France, according to the site. Hopefully they aren’t under target. Would be a huge loss, but seems judges and countries let ACE call the shots.

      Yeah I think so, RD is fine though, not the same servers. I only brought it up just cause I uses both services. Not that they are tied in any way.
