The worlds number 4 torrent website is down following a massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack by unknown hackers. The website seems to have been down for 23 hours and seems to come online for little bit before throwing up a 503 service error.

The Extratorrent admin took to Twitter to tell its fans about the DDoS attack

Extratorrent is under the DDoS attack by hackers right now. Please, keep your patience. We ll try to fix the issues. We'll be back shortly!
