For some reason everytime I try to login it stops the process halfway through and just says a connection couldn't be made. I understand theres been a lot of spotty connectivity with the site as of late but why would it permit me to reach the login page but not continue any further? Sometimes it ends up redirecting me to www.silkroadvb5piz3r.onion, which doesn't exist.
Also, I'm sure this isn't a phishing site. silkroadvb5piz3r.onion as always.

I've had the same problem as well.
When I connect to the SR login page, it loads (slowly).
When I log in, the connection seems to stall.
It's possible the SR server is overloaded/too busy right now.
Does anyone else have an explanation?

I'm having the same problem...I can make it to the login page but it won't go past that...been trying for about 2 hours now :( usually once I see the login page it's smooth sailing from there but right now it keeps stalling.

Nice to hear from an admin who knows what's going on. I'll try connecting later, and won't waste SR bandwidth trying to connect right now.

Yes Having the same problem. I knew it was not just me since I can login to the forums and other sites.

Likewise. I guess I'll try again tomorrow...

I'm in this base. Is anyone actually on right now?

I've been trying to login regularly for the past 12 hrs or so, no luck at all. DPR suggests to try in "off peak" times .. but not really sure which time zone he is referring to? All the times i have tried, it has been off peak in one major time zone or another but still getting the same result. I guess we just take a number and wait patiently in line. Pray to the server capacity gods.

Maybe we should if possible all just try not to logon to SR for a day or two and let these guys address the issue or perhaps, SR, you can post up a splash page and tell us what you'd like us to do, until you're able to increase the bandwidth or add more disk space or servers or whatever resources are lacking that can be attributed to this problem. Otherwise, people will just keep slamming the site trying to logon and this will only exacerbate the challenges. I'm a network/systems guy so, just adding my two cents.

I have had the same problem, I had SR bookmarked and have been clicking on that to try and get in with the same problems, it worked instantly when I went to Wikipedia and the SR page and clicked on the addy there. Hope it works for you
