QUOTE (CogentCo @ Oct 06, 2005)
Level 3* has partitioned its part of the Internet from Cogent's part of the Internet by denying Level 3's customers access to Cogent's customers and denying Cogent's customers access to Level 3 customers. Level 3 terminated its peering with Cogent without cause (as permitted under its peering agreement with Cogent) even though both Cogent and Level 3 remained in full compliance with the previously existing interconnection agreement.

Many Level 3 customers can still exchange traffic with Cogent customers because the Level 3 customer is multi-homed, i.e. it also has a connection to Cogent or to one of the many other networks with which Cogent has a peering relationship. As described below Cogent is offering a solution to Level 3 customers that are not multi-homed.

...

Cogent is committed to an open Internet. The existing interconnection facilities between Level 3 and Cogent remain intact. Cogent hopes that Level 3 will reactivate these connections, restoring a full level of service to their customers.

Fansub TV servers are located on a Cogent connection. This means that if your ISP or network uses Level3 as their only connection, then this site will not be reachable through normal means. Conversely, this problem will affect episode fetching as well. If any episode's torrent or torrent tracker is hosted on a pure Level 3 network, then our servers will be unable to connect and download the episode.
 
Level 3 is one of the largest communications and Internet backbones in the world. They're international. The good news is that good ISPs use multiple backbones (aka multi-homed networks) and are not affected by this Cogent/Level 3 issue.
 
Traffic between our servers and Level 3 networks is now being rerouted through another connection, so this connectivity issue should be resolved.
