Guest sabu_kweli Report post Posted March 26, 2006 Anybody know anything about pwtorrents being down? I'm pretty sure it's been a full week today. I'm starting to get worried because it's never been down this long since I've been a member. I'm just trying to float this out there, hoping somebody on this board knows any of the mods/admin for that site. ANy insight/comments would be much appreciated.

Supposedly everything has been worked out and will be back up and running by tomorrow (Monday). Hope all goes well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2006 I was a member before I gave up the internet for six months, now I dont know my password and there seems to be no way to retrieve it, as I dont know my name either. No new registrations. Very frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nokia Report post Posted March 27, 2006 * I found this at another site, DON'T bother asking me if or HOW this works - but people have gained access to pwt this way...Only bad thing is that not many know of this - so there are VERY little to download at the moment ********************************************** Search for the file called "Hosts" in your C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc. open the file with Notepad and add these 2 lines: 202.75.33.136 special.pwtorrents.net 202.75.33.136 forum.pwtorrents.net ****************************************** Just wanted to let you guys know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted March 28, 2006 You have to open the hosts file. Copy it on the bottom, then Save. Then, go to special.pwtorrents.net. It works. Strange problem there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2006 For people who can't get around this, like me, just go and register on the forum there, they have a torrent section there. EDIT: I'm a dumbass. they just give you links to the tracker that you need to register for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2008 *bump* PWTorrents has been down again for a while now. They recently moved servers, does anybody know why they are now down (and have been for a while)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2008 But still, any idea why it's been down for this long? They moved servers, and tried to update some coding, and took longer then they thought - still its been a little lacking lately in content. Brainbug was awesome for his WCW rips.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 Just a heads up to everybody: PWT is completely free-leech for at least a while, as its their way of thanking the users for something. Either way, get on there and help your ratio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
