Is there some more background to this, as in, what happened?
For years they've managed to keep their indexing (think html, not torrent) online by separating out the indexing from the actual storage. They've only changed URLs once in recent memory. Throughout the years they've stored content in various places. Protected safe havens, compromised websites, and ipfs.
There are still a lot of places in the world where hosting a link to data is not illegal.
Well through whatever methods required it looks like the publishers finally managed to shut down the search/hosting on wherever .is was pointing to.
There is a static IPFS index laying around somewhere so technically the content's still quite available. Along with Torrents.
Well they finally managed to bring it back up somewhere and I don't even care to go and figure out where that is. Just glad they're still around.
It's been offline for like a month, maybe more, I haven't kept track. I don't know any details, maybe there's info on their forums, but overall the owners are quite secretive.
