Reactivated the domain, it might take some time for you to use it.
A process called domain propagation now may need to complete in order for you to see your domain online:
What is DNS propagation:

How to clear DNS on Ubuntu

Our recommended simple method for clearing local DNS which works on most computers / OS:
1) Close all browsers.
2) Restart / reboot your router or modem.
3) Restart your computer.
4) Then try your domain.
If this does not work for you, you can wait for domain propagation to complete (48 hours) or you can try upgrading the DNS in your computer to use Google DNS:

Then after installing Google DNS restart your computer and router again.

The Google Drive mirrors don't seem to work anymore. Also the Skydrives / Onedrive mirrors don't work for recently uploaded files.

Thank you.
Edit: It seems I'm unable to upload .7z files anymore. I get the following error message, when I try:
The file size doesn't matter. Browser is Firefox 40.0.2.
I have to admit that I don't know when it worked the last time, so I cannot tell whether it's a recent problem.

I've added .7z to the allowed upload list so hopefully it should work now.

Just in case you were unaware, SS_T, xdownloads.co.uk seems to be down at the moment.

looks like i have to do a full reset and rebuild, I will use the same database so all the information should be still there.
New XDownloads: http://xdownloads.co.uk
Set up a redirect so that links to xdownloads files go to the onedrive backup, unfortunately it is not directly to the correct file.
Best I can do at the moment.
Got tomorrow off so I might get some work done on rebuilding.

It is sad that hackers have nothing better to do with their lives than to mess up the best download (and archival) site the X community has ever had.
I hope that restoring the site will not be overly painful. In any case, thanks for all that you do, SS_T.

Here is my development site: http://x1tp.com/development_site/
I'm upgrading to the latest versions of all the components which I wouldn't/couldn't do before due to breaking links and other things. But as i'm building the website from scratch I will try and get it as secure and quick as possible.
So unfortunately when I get the real site online none of the links on this forum to the specific files will work.

While this is indeed unfortunate, if you can compile a list with script/mod names, their direct download links and maybe even a link to their topics, it should be fairly easy to replace the download links, although it may take a little while.SS_T wrote:So unfortunately when I get the real site online none of the links on this forum to the specific files will work.

Testing bbcode that the site is putting out

It took a while to work out the new file structure but I seem to have coded it alright.

Good progress so far.
Do you think that you will be able to recover the file descriptions, author, download count, and other meta data? It would be a shame to lose all that.
Is it safe to assume that you had no backup of the site at all? Even an old one might be helpful?

All that information should mostly be all there now (apart from images) and hopeully you can see and edit the files you have uploaded. I do have a few back ups of the site but i'm having to pick bits out and integrate them in the new one.DrBullwinkle wrote:Good progress so far.

I think some files which did originally have descriptions / author don't now due to have special characters in the filename {@$ ect. Because when I re uploaded them the new jdownloads component stripped all the special characters (and spaces?) away from the filename which means I could not link the old database to them.
