Re: nyaa.eu is down?!
It was down last week for a few days. Then it came back, but only for a day or two before it went down again. 4chan was full of speculation that the Japanese government "bought" the site in order to to use their DB arrest Japanese H-game pirates, some other sites said that it was a DDoS attack from Crunchyroll staff. I think the truth is probably more mundane but I don't know what counts as a reliable source when it comes to the status of a torrent site.

Re: nyaa.eu is down?!
DDoS is a very serious matter, no way in hell would the Jap government or an upstanding company resort to it as it would have severe legal repercussion once it's confirmed they were behind it.
It's just some script kiddie doing it for the lulz. Don't expect to get a sensible answer out of some random idiots crying "MUH CONSPIRACY" on the Internet.
If they wanted to take down anime sharing sites there's several legal ways to approach it.

This. Piracy is a civil offense, but DDoS, as silly as it may seem, is an international crime
In this case, it's Daiz being an idiot and screwing things up, but this was the most likely case for the first time

thanks guys, you all saved me the suffering of not knowing what the hell was going on.
Poor guy, I know how hard it is to work with HTML, PHP and CMS systems. I personally devote to such things, it is normal that something goes wrong and take time to fix it. It is not something that anyone can solve in a minute, even with experience and tools.
