doesn't seem to work for me added the exact line in hosts, same result as before.

 

nooooooooo i was on page 978 and had 6 tabs of forgotten keys kontakt stuff open

 

On Mac, open Terminal and type the following commands:

sudo cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.sav

to be sure you have a copy in case of mistake...
And then:

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Then edit the file and save, using the Ctrl+X shortcut (Crtl, not Cmd)
Add the line anywhere (at the bottom of the file is ok)
172.67.174.87 audioz.download

When sister site is back again, do not forget to remove these lines!

In case of mistake or to rollback, simply type:
sudo cp /etc/hosts.sav /etc/hosts

Note for geeks : another IPv4 address can be used : 104.21.80.48. IPv6 addresses are 2606:4700:3036::ac43:ae57 and 2606:4700:3032::6815:5030. Did not try, but I think you can choose any of them (use IPv6 if your connection is IPv6 of course)
I retrieved these adresses from dnshistory.org

 

I can see a new update this morning. So either domain name is not dead, or the uploader found a solution similar to ours.

 

https://www.dnshistory.org/

 

First, I think you should try to empty your browser cache / history.

Second, try to copy-paste this in a DOS command line window (start menu -> run -> cmd.exe):

Code:

ipconfig /flushdns

One last thing to verify: sometimes, Notepad adds the extension .txt to your hosts file, you have to verify that your file is actually named "hosts" without any extension nor dot (right-click -> Properties).

Perhaps it could helps?

 

I wrote a small batch file to autochange the DNS on Windows.

Use it as admin.

1. Open Editor as admin
2. Copy code in it
3. Save as whatever you like to and put .bat at the end (example: dns_change.bat)
4. Open as Admin
5. Scripts runs automatically
6. Site works

CODE IN SPOILER

The "hosts trick" works for all operating systems: Windows, macOS and Linux.

 

172.67.174.87 audioz.download
when u add it on host file
works fine in Turkey

 

I'm sorry, I take full responsibility for the site being down. I was downloading Omnisphere and in the middle of part 8 I spilled tomato sauce on the keyboard of my computer. It created a feedback loop and charred the server.

Please forgive me.

 

Are you seriously joking?

 

For starters, it helps if you have the correct number. You've missed the 1 from the beginning.

 

The hosts trick works for me too

 

The sauce had lots of garlic and that's what probably put it over the top. It is an Anthony Bourdain recipe.

 

Check via this site whether a website is really down for everyone or just your system/ISP:

https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/audioz.download

 

Add 172.67.174.87 audioz.download to your host file on PC. It works fine for now until they fix it.

 

"Operation Endgame" = Euro-Fascists together with American Terrorists want to control the media and the Internet forcibly.
Don't believe me? Just wait...

 

Pay no attention to this fool, SAiNT. There are millions of people all over the world whose lives have no meaning or value if we can't check the sister site once an hour or so. If we're all stressed, you should be too!

 

Host Trick works in France too
tks !

 

A Witch says. Meanwhile, audionews is fine & everything can be found there. If you don't have a membership you can 'donate' without waiting for the monthly window to open. Witch says 'tried, tested, secure workaround'.
