Is Torzon Down? Live Mirror Status & Onion Uptime Check 2026
This log tracks which Torzon nodes answered the last probe and when. Onion hosts drop and come back often, so a row can read Checking one minute and live the next. The full addresses live on the home directory; this page is only the pulse.

The complete addresses sit in the signed directory on the home page. A row here is a probe state, never a safety rating, and it can trail reality by an hour.
Why a Torzon node can read down and answer minutes later
An onion service is not offline the way a normal site is. It keeps re-publishing a descriptor to the Tor network on a timer, and your client has to fetch that descriptor before it can connect. When the upload slips under load, the two sides fall out of step. That gap is what a Checking row is really showing.
How often is the Torzon status grid actually refreshed?
Probes run on a loose schedule rather than continuously, so a status row can lag real-world reachability by up to an hour. That delay is a deliberate trade-off: probing every mirror every few seconds would itself look like an attack from the relay's perspective and could get the probing host rate-limited or blocked. Treat every row as a recent sample, not a live feed, and re-check manually before you rely on a node that has not moved in a while.
What down really means here
Not working usually means slow or overloaded, not seized. A single stalled node says little. Work down the log to the next one that answered. The signal worth reacting to is different: when every row reads Dead for a full day, treat the whole set as gone and wait for a fresh signed list.
Is Torzon down, or is it just my connection?
Check two things before you decide. If one node reads Checking while another answers, the market is up and that single node is lagging. If your own circuit has gone stale, close the tab, build a new Tor identity, and retry. A real outage looks different: every row dead, held for hours, not minutes.
What counts as a working link here?
A working link is a full onion from the signed directory that answered a recent probe and still matches the fingerprint. A live pill is half the test. An address that loads but fails the signature is a working clone, which is worse than a dead node, because it looks like success.
Why this Torzon status page refuses to show fake uptime percentages
Plenty of status pages for darknet markets display a clean 99.x% uptime number, and nearly all of them are fabricated or extrapolated from far too little data to mean anything. A Tor onion service has no external uptime monitor the way a clearnet site can lean on a third-party pinger; the only honest measurement is a probe run from this side of the network, on a schedule loose enough not to look like an attack, which necessarily misses gaps between checks. Rather than manufacture a precise-looking percentage from that gappy data, this page shows the raw Checking/Dead state per node and says plainly when it was last sampled. A confident uptime number you cannot verify independently is a marketing claim, not a status report, and this grid would rather show less polish and more honesty.
How to read this page if you are comparing it to another Torzon status tracker
Any two independent Torzon status trackers can legitimately disagree at a given moment, because each runs its own probe schedule from its own vantage point in the Tor network, and onion service reachability genuinely varies by which relays a given prober's circuit happens to use. Do not treat a disagreement between trackers as evidence one of them is compromised or fake. Instead, treat convergence as the useful signal — if multiple independent status pages all show the same node dead for hours, that carries more weight than any single source, including this one.
Honest limit: this log is a snapshot, not a heartbeat. We sample on a loose schedule, so do not read a live row as proof that an address is genuine. That is still the fingerprint's job.
Reading the Torzon status grid without fooling yourself
Why does a node read Checking and not Down?
Because the probe cannot tell a slow onion from a gone one in a single try. Checking means the last lookup timed out and the next is pending. It is an honest maybe, not a verdict. We never paint a row green on a hunch, so a status you see is the raw probe result and nothing kinder.
How often does this log refresh?
On a loose schedule measured in minutes to an hour, not per second. That lag is on purpose. Hammering an onion to draw a live dot would only pile load onto a service already fighting for descriptor space. Read a row as a recent sample, then confirm the address yourself.
Torzon is not working for me. What is the order of moves?
Rebuild your circuit first. Then try the next node on the grid that answered. Then pull a fresh address from the signed directory in case the one you saved has gone stale. If all of that fails and every node stays dead for a day, stop and wait for a new signed list rather than hunting for a link elsewhere.
Does a dead node mean the market was seized?
Rarely. A single dead node is routine churn. Even the whole grid going quiet points to load or a maintenance window far more often than a takedown. Treat a seizure claim as a rumour until a signed message says otherwise, because panic is exactly what a phishing page wants from you.
Frequently asked questions about Torzon uptime
Why does a Torzon node read Checking instead of Down?
The probe cannot tell a slow onion service from a gone one in a single attempt. Checking means the last lookup timed out and another attempt is pending — an honest maybe, not a confirmed outage.
How often does the Torzon status grid refresh?
On a loose schedule measured in minutes to roughly an hour, not continuously. Probing an onion too aggressively can itself resemble an attack on the relay network and get the probing host rate-limited.
Does a dead Torzon node mean it was seized?
Rarely. A single dead node is routine churn from descriptor propagation lag or a maintenance window, far more often than a takedown. Treat a seizure claim as a rumor until a signed message says otherwise.
What should I do if every Torzon node reads Dead?
Rebuild your Tor circuit first, then wait rather than searching elsewhere for a link. If every node stays dead for a full day, wait for a freshly signed mirror list instead of trusting an unverified replacement.
Can a Torzon node show green here but still be unreachable for me personally?
Yes. A green pill means the probing host completed a Tor circuit to that Torzon node at the last check; it says nothing about your own circuit, your Tor Browser configuration, or a relay outage local to your path. If a status-verified Torzon node still will not load, rebuild your circuit before assuming the grid is wrong.
Why does this grid refuse to show a Torzon uptime percentage?
Because a rolling uptime figure invites false confidence — a mirror that was up 99% of last month can still be dead right now, and a visitor skimming a percentage rarely checks the timestamp. This grid shows only the state of the most recent Torzon probe, which is a smaller claim but an honest one.
Does the Torzon status grid probe through the same Tor circuit every time?
No, by design. Each probing cycle builds a fresh circuit to avoid a single stale or degraded path skewing the read on every Torzon node at once. That is also why two consecutive checks on the same onion can occasionally disagree — different circuits, different momentary conditions.
What actually slows down a Torzon connection
Reachability and speed are two different questions, and this status grid only answers the first one. A node can answer every probe and still feel sluggish once you are inside a Torzon session, for reasons that have nothing to do with whether the market is up.
Circuit length and relay load
Every Tor connection routes through three relays before it ever reaches a Torzon onion service, and each hop adds latency that a normal clearnet connection never pays. A congested guard relay or an overloaded exit-adjacent hop in the circuit slows the whole session, and rebuilding a fresh circuit — new identity in Tor Browser — sometimes fixes it outright when a stale one has picked a bad path.
Onion service load vs. network load
A Torzon node under heavy visitor load responds slower to every request, independent of Tor's own overhead — the same way any busy web server slows down under traffic. When a Checking row clears quickly but pages still load slowly once you are in, the bottleneck has moved from network reachability to the service itself. There is no fix on your end for that beyond patience or trying a different mirror from the signed list.
Why probes and real sessions can disagree
A probe is a single lightweight request, timed and logged once. Your actual Torzon session is dozens of requests across a browsing period, any one of which can hit a slow moment the single probe missed entirely. Do not treat a fast probe result as a promise the whole session will feel fast; it only confirms the node was reachable at that specific instant.
