The downtime is caused by routing issues TorrentFreak was told by the EZTV team, and they’re currently working on a fix.

Sister site ezRSS is not affected by the downtime and new releases are still being posted.

On Twitter EZTV confirmed that they’re looking into the issues.

The torrent storage cache ZoinkIT went offline around the same time as EZTV, but there’s no connection between the two events. ZoinkIT is moving servers and will be back within a day.

EZTV is arguably one of the largest BitTorrent communities, so any downtime immediately leads to all kinds of horror stories about raids and seizures.

None of this is true though.

No official explanation is available for the downtime yet, but we’re reliably informed that it’s merely a technical issue.

As always, the EZTV crew will do all it can to solve the issues as soon as possible.

We’ve reached out to the EZTV team and will update this article with an official response when we hear back from them.

Update: The EZTV people told TorrentFreak that it’s a “small hiuccup with DNS.” The site will be back ‘soon’ (within a few days, no ETA).

Update: And they’re back…

Update (May 28): EZTV is suffering downtime again, no word about that’s causing it yet..

It’s understandable why the BitTorrent community feels a bit jittery this week after the shock demise of the OiNK tracker, particularly when another top site seemingly disappeared today.

Back in March we described EZTV as ‘the leading TV-torrent distribution group’ so when people tried to access www.eztvefnet.org today and got simply directed back to Google, panic started to creep in.

Luckily, this error is the result of some administrative issues and EZTV is alive, well and offering this message to their users:

Due to some misunderstandings during the transfers of domains relating to EZTV, the domain www.eztvefnet.org has been temporarily lost and now appears to redirect to a google query for EZTV. While we are working on resolving this issue, please be advised that there are alternative domains leading to our site – www.eztv.it and www.eztv.nl

NovaKing, admin at EZTV told TorrentFreak: “We are currently having some dns issues with eztvefnet.org so would like to inform our loyal fans that we prefer for people to start using the shorter easier to remember domain names!”
