I came home today to see that Onemoresolo.net was down. I thought nothing of it at first, then I checked my email. Aparently, I broke three very big rules.

Number 1, there was warez in the upload folder. Thanks guys.
Number 2, no torrent trackers on 1and1 hosting (I'm glad they made that so clear in the FAQ...)
Number 3, no running irc bots with SSH. Something I didn't do. I used SSH once and I just uploaded files.

So, anyway, the uploader is down for good now, as they locked my whole account at 1and1. The tracker will be back as soon as possible, but not with 1and1. I'm having a friend look into hosting the site in Asia somewhere.

So fuck you 1and1!

They're just covering their own asses. They have that right.

Bummer, sorry dude.

[travisty08]

all my t3d memories...gone

[Sparky]

The files should still be there when it comes back. I'll archive them if possible and see what I can do.

[superman]

damn that sucks
we really appreciated that uploader

[basketofkittens]

Sorry to hear about that Sparky. Good call on that Asia deal

They locked my account once too. Apparently I was running "unsecure" scripts on my site (something which they mentioned nothing about in their license agreement). I didn't even have anything remotely resembling a script on there at the time. It was ridiculous. They resolved it after about 5 phone calls and twice as many emails. They were real asshats about it. But, since I'm a bitch, and their service is free, I'm still there. When it runs out I'll definitely be switching to someone else.

Sparky, in the future I may be able to donate a P2(or if you wanna send me free hardware, better) and a cable line that is > T1 (1.5mbit up 15mbit down).

So, how do they define warez?

[Sparky]

Here's the email I recieved:

Thank you for your compliance in this matter.

The site is up today so I can remove the offending files. Of course I'm leaving the torrent tracker there. They'll have to delete my account before I remove it.

[basketofkittens]

Would they count a bittorrent tracker as "an arbitrary tcp/udp server"?
