Okay, now that’s weird. I switched to “any interface” for what to bind to instead of my Ethernet interface and that somehow made torrenting work again?

I’m pretty sure it’s not ISP throttling but more some weird BitTorrent issue; how was aria2c able to saturate my connection while BitTorrent couldn’t move a single byte to save its life?

Is my VPS provider going to nuke me if I dare use my VPS as my VPN, though? Ionos, if it’s relevant…

Update: I was somehow able to torrent a different one with aria2c, and it went at full speed, so I’m very sure that I’m NOT being blocked by my ISP…

If it doesn’t work, yt-dlp -U. If it still doesn’t work, I don’t know what to do anymore

youtube-dl has since been superseded by yt-dlp

And I don’t check my email every single day. Scary.

Nitter ended up getting their domain back though.. However, the good ending doesn’t always happen.

Thankfully I don’t have anything “controversial” on my website.

Actually, you need to go build a time travel machine and recreate the Internet and all its infastructure from scratch if you want to have true ownership of your domain. Or you know, just reinvent the Internet in a premodern society or something, idk.

Were you able to take back your domain using Porkbun, or did you have to use a completely different one?

Yeah, I’m on the .ph top-level domain, one of the more expensive ones. I blame the price on the registrar, not Njalla.

Did Njalla keep the domain forever or did they not renew it such that you could simply go straight to the registrar to take it back?

Additionally, what did you do exactly with the domain that may have motivated Njalla to just… do such a thing?

Not many results for Njalla there, just someone saying they have a few of them through Njalla but offering no thoughts of the service
