Looks like Nintendo went on a massive purge

A certain huge freeShop is suddenly down (while I was using it, suddenly all the files won't download). A certain site with "brew" in the name is also suddenly gone.

Edit: I hit up the eShop on telegram and they said they're still running so I don't know what's with that.

The brewery is still down on my end and changing to e.g. Cloudflare DNS didn't do the trick, unfortunately.

Brew site admin just claim its a DNS error.

Yeah, I was using one no problem and it suddenly stopped and I kept getting 0 chunks and, when I turned off streaming mode, it couldn't find the files.

Well, now I'm wishing I could delete posts. I guess it was a false alarm? :-(

Glad to hear that. ^^ Hopefully, it'll be resolved soon.

 

[mogs565]

same for me

Yeah the NS beer bar and NS Windows 2000 for you seems to be having serious issues.

Just checked, g♥♥♥♥ shop is still running fine, can download games on my switch.
The ♥♥brew site is offline, not sure what happened.
The ♥♥♥2u site is still running, although i don't use that website anymore.

Also afaik most (if not all) free tinfoil shops shutdown due to discord/scene drama (t♥♥♥♥♥, p♥♥♥♥, l♥♥♥♥♥, t♥♥♥, etc.), some were forced to shut down when google made changes to combat unlimited workspace storage abuse (q♥♥♥♥, n♥♥♥, s♥♥♥♥♥), not a single one was shutdown by nintendo.

Maybe it has something to do with the filters you're using? I'm using pretty much all of the relevant ones and some extra. I remember having issues back in the days on some other sites and adding additional filters "magically" fixed the issue.

 

[randy_w]

yea i can confirm ublock origin works on both websites with default filter. still i prefer ♥♥brew since ♥♥♥2u has a lot of broken links, besides ♥♥♥2u uses many file hosts that are basically unusable without pro account
