It is down for me too even when using proxies from China or Russia...  zazarb, which country do you connect from?  Does anyone know how to approach bter.com to notify them?  They do not post anything on their twitter account, so perhaps it works for some people and they are not aware of the problem?

Their Twitter is actually pretty active. Last post is three days ago: https://twitter.com/btercom/status/732389987291779072

I'm sure they are aware it's down. Whether it's down for an outage, or something worse, is the question. But it's been down for many hours now with zero comms, which is the worrying part.

that was exactly my feeling but then zazarb said it worked for him, so I hoped it could be just something (eg IP) specific for us and it's up otherwise.  Probably just wishful thinking...

The site of bter.com is not down, its just their DNS provider that seems to be in trouble.

You can route around this outage by adding an entry to your hosts file like:

Code:
141.101.120.32	bter.com www.bter.com

Remember to remove this when outage is over!

You are right!  Thanks for pointing this out.  I can indeed connect by doing this.

I can confirm that work for me. I found that not works if  in address bar put "www.bter.com" instead  "bter.com".

proof that works without interrupt
exp.:

Nothing is working for me either. Also, this is highly speculative but it appears that known Bter addresses all moved BTC to one wallet before the site went down, about 120 BTC. It's not clear on why all this BTC moved right before the outage. More details on the BTC here: https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/4k2naf/cryptocurrency_exchange_bter_offline_rumors_begin/

After reading that some people have fears, panic-stricken, I exchange my btc to doge and withdraw , request processed instant adc86dba4a8d9caec9dbf7c95885e85d7b671f50f19e5137fa785b17902328ed
This is probably false alarm.

It's working again for me now. I didn't have to do any reconfiguration of my computer, or anything special. All I needed to do was access bter the way I normally do by typing https://bter.com/ into my browser.

I couldn't access the site at any time today until now, they must have fixed something in the last hour.
