Title: Is Silkroad down atm?
Post by: Garrincha on June 22, 2013, 01:33 pm
Hi. Jus wondering if anyone else is having problems connecting to the marketplace atm? It's the first time it has ever happened to me, so I thought I'd see if others are having the same probs, being rather concerning!!

If it's of any use, it was up less than 30 minutes ago. They may be experiencing unusually high traffic, being Saturday & all. Can't say for sure.

This doesn't sound promising...

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.

It's not recognizing SR as a valid hostname...

Remove the www  The tor browser sometimes automatically appends the www when reloading the page. This function can be removed through the about:config settings but I don't recall where, there is a thread about it somewhere.

I now cannot get it as well as I had before - it is going on and off frequently so it is hit and miss.

I don't have the www. when I paste it into the browser. I just have the address to copy & paste from a word doc without the www already.

Yay, it's back up for me! Didn't do anything different. May want to try again OP.

Sorry, whats OP? It seems that I can't open it from my usual link, yet there are other links to it on some directories that take me to the login screen. I'm fearful to login to these however, as I know that there is a fake SR doing the rounds. Can anyone post me the GENUINE SR address so I can be sure that it's the real SR?
