Update

Gazup.com is still down, the following message is currently on the site;

Important notice

On Tuesday the 30th of June Gazup.com was hacked by a group of hackers residing in the middle-east for no apparent reason but to spread political propaganda about western governments; completely unrelated to our service. They decided it would be fitting to delete our entire site as well.

Since then we have taken our service off line whilst we carefully reconstruct our system to patch any vulnerabilities and ensure the site was working how it was. We deeply apologize for this disruption and we're doing the best we can. Unfortunately there will be roughly 4-5 days worth of uploads and member data lost. We will try to make as much of this up as possible by steaming ahead with new features ensuring we remain the best mirroring website online.

The site should be back online Thursday evening / early Friday morning GMT.

Thank you for your patience.


So, we can expect restoration of service imminently but we are also exploring other mirroring/upload sites in the meantime. In fairness to Gazup, they were attacked without any real reason and we can't really have a go at them, their service is, after all, free of charge. However, we don't want to deprive you of the ever-growing backlog of funky gems that is growing and growing so expect news sooner rather than later on how we are moving forwards.

Which brings us to the next update.....

The Bottomless Crates are about to be dropped onto both FM radio in our local area and web streamed for those of you living further afield
(Google Analytics indicates that we have many repeat visitors from the USA, Japan and throughout Europe)!!

Once we have dates confirmed you will be the first to know.... There are some other substantial improvements in the pipeline also, stay tuned for more news.

Incidentally, you may have been pointed here via Facebook in the last couple of days, if so, thanks for dropping by and checking us out. Things may seem quite basic at the moment but hold tight, as mentioned above, big things are coming soon.

Thanks everyone.
