I can not seem to even be able to connect to silk road. I don't know if I'm using the wrong website or if Silk Road doesnt like me. It keeps taking too long for me to connect and then it says that there was a problem loading the page. I made sure to check around the forums before posting this question but it doesn't seem like anyone else is having this problem. Can anyone help me?

Make sure you are using:
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/
If you can't connect, try changing TOR Identities. If it still fails, hit refresh until it works. It's working great for me, and I have a feeling their servers are getting HAMMERED right now.
-
Been attempting to connect for about 3 or 4 hours now, I can get to maybe 1 page before it stops loading. So basically I can log in and thats about it.
I am getting increasingly annoyed with this. Stop giving me that "LOVE YOU SR DANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARDWORK" bullshit. I thought they were FIXING these problems. I mean seriously you guys aren't google and you should stop acting like that. I don't doubt that maybe several thousand people are attempting to connect at most, are your servers really that shitty?
-
look guy, you're right this isn't google, or any .com clearnet operation. Their servers exist on the Tor network, which simply doesn't have the reliability that traditional clearnet sites have.
I have been using a single identity since the site came back up and it is flying for me. I mean this identity is like magic--I wish I didn't have to give it up when I reboot. I've been logged in for a few hours with this identity and its going faster than the forums. It all depends on your *TOR* connection--it's not their servers. The whole reason for the downtime was so they could upgrade their servers, and they did (so DPR can get paid without his own servers bottlenecking his rate). But these guys can't upgrade the entire Tor network.
It's like trying to connect to the site on a 9600bps modem and then blaming SR that their servers aren't fast enough. There's a point where it's out of SR's control. Also try rebooting your computer. That seems to work when switching identities doesn't. It might be all in my head, but it's worth a shot if you're that unable to connect.

I was on silk for a few hrs and it just stopped. I tried to connect and now I am getting this message. The same I was getting before Silk went down. Does not feel good
[Thu Nov 15 14:45:22 2012] Invalid Destination Hostname - One of your applications tried to establish a connection through Tor to "www.silkroadvb5piz3r.onion", which Tor does not recognize as a valid hostname. Please check your application's configuration.

its getting ddos attacked by all the withdrawing nerds who keep hitting refresh every 5 seconds. :O
Just like what happened last time and the server is gonna get fried again.
-

keep trying
-
It started working again for like 20 minutes then it stopped again. :o
-
Hasn't worked for me yet: As of 4:20 - now, no connection has been established to SR. Tried new identities, restarting browsers, computer, connection.
All times out. Not mad, just stating what's happening here on my end. Prob just try again tomorrow.
Get your shit together SR.

Get your shit together SR.
qft
if you can, check the network, no fuckin relay can connect.

The furthest I got was the login page, and then it failed to get beyond that.
I did get on last night and it was working ok. However, now that we're allowed to deposit btc again I want to get in and check my wallet address, send some coins over and make some purchases!
I expect the demand of users is massive as there's a whole weeks worth of fiends all wanting to get their orders in! Usually it's all spread out.... ah well... at least it's back... sort of....
More patience required.

11:19 UTC and nothing after numerous attempts. This is still sleepy bye time for most mericans, so it can't be too much traffic.
I'm getting real sick of this, tor or no tor hidden service. goddamn it, why don't they upgrade to more reliable hardware-connection capacity? It's not like they're hurtin' for cash!
