Describe the issue

Downloading seeds.txt from sipa's DNS seed yields a 404 error.

Can you reliably reproduce the issue?

Yes.

If so, please list the steps to reproduce below:

  1. Run the following command from a terminal: curl -s http://bitcoin.sipa.be/seeds.txt.
  2. (My OS is Whonix 13; I have no reason to expect different results on other OS's but I haven't tried.)
  3. (I tried replacing http:// with https:// since I was wondering if a Tor exit was interfering with the response; the results were unchanged.)

Expected behaviour

A valid seeds.txt file should be displayed by curl.

Actual behaviour

I get the following output:

$ curl -s http://bitcoin.sipa.be/seeds.txt
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

 <body>

</html>

Machine specs:

  • OS: Whonix 13. (That means all traffic is tunneled through Tor.)
  • Other specs: believed to not be relevant.
