Rip. Any site alternatives?
Just exit and restart Wii U USB Helper, then let it add the host file entry. The site is still there, you just can't resolve the name to an address (and since the address would get you to the site, we can't tell you what the address is either.)

Yup, that's what I thought...

when showing new additions to the app (from those title key sites) - is it possible to show which one they come from? like separate the 3ds from the wii u ones. It makes it hard to find new wii U games/updates when 3ds gets spammed so often.

What would be even better is showing which "Platform" it is like "Wii U Retail Download" Or "NES 3DS"

So, whats up with the title key sites?
The owner of that site didn't renew the domain for this year.
Consequently the server no longer is acessible from the known url but it is still online, at least for the moment.
The latest version of USB Helper will patch your host file to bypass this problem.

Correct me if I'm mistaken but that would only work on rooted devices, I will see what I can do though.
Hmm not sure of that hopefully someone else knows but I hope not as I can't root my phone as it belongs to my work lol and my pc is not working so the phone is the only way I can get games at the moment.

That's correct. root access is needed for /system/etc/hosts - if you are rooted you can manually edit this file

Alright, good news. I have coded a new way to bypass the issue which does not require to edit the host file! I've just published an update for the desktop and the mobile app :)

Hey! just to say that the Latest Update is fully working on Ubuntu 16.04.02 LTS (Linux distribution) with a wine version out of box (2.7 Staging) + winetricks dotnet45 ! ;)
Thanks for reporting back!
If you wish to make a guide for other Linux users I'll be glad to publish it on the front page!
