FSB have probably tracked down the Russian Mafia running the site

from what I can see, alltunes generates it's main page from the allofmp3.com site, so when it first tries to connect to that it cannot.

The site it mentions in the connection settings is downloads.alltunes.com and that is currently up, if you access it in a browser it simply tells you that you don't have access to / on the server, which I'd expect.

ozzy,
I've had a look at that site, might even have an account setup, but I've personally never purchased music from it, though I think there are a few on here who have and said it's ok.

Have to admit the design of allofmp3 is way better.

You could always have a peek on iTunes for the song/album your'e after, or possibly using a torrent site or p2p client, not that I could possibly condone such a thing of course

Very interesting seeing as it mentioned pirate optical media, which would indicate they are selling CD's as well as digital encodings. but I see no sign of that on the site.

This article on The Register gives info on what Russian Prosecuters said about allofmp3. The latter part of the article is interesting with regards to them operating within a loophole in Russian law.

OK, so technically it's probably not legal to download from allofmp3 in the UK, or probably any other country but Russia, but I've not heard of anyone being prosecuted for doing so.

To the best of your knowledge it was legal

I wouldn't pay for them anyway as thats the idea of mp3, but if i was that way inclined i'd use it.
