Tinfoil suddenly doesnt connect to shops anymore (1)

I have latest atmosphere sigpatcher and tinfoil 12.10 nro self installer and added some shops to tinfoil.

Everything was working fine then after the 7th game downloading and finishing the shops cannot be reached anymore.

In the "tinfoil console" it says network error 6: Couldn't resolve host 'quotashop.ml', code = 0

internet wifi connection is working fine on the switch. made speedtest and connection test in the system settings.

Then i redid everything by even repartitioning sd card and installing emunand again and tinfoil etc... like before but i get the same error message.

I think Tinfoil had a maintenance, and changed their URL just earlier.

most sites are now down, due to domain issues. Check the discords for updates!

Getting all of the same errors, not a single shop working. Idk whether I'm allowed to post names here, but I got 5 or 6 iirc, and none connect through Tinfoil's latest version

Some (all?) of the shops had their domains taken down, and they're trying to register new ones.

Stop using "shops" it's not consistent. Not too sure why people like them in the first place.

You can find almost everything on the net

You shouldn't link there as it is a piracy discord and you aren't allowed to link to piracy here.

Well yes but they always shut down I'm surprised shops are still such a thing. I always prefer to have a hard copy of a NSP/NSZ/XCI in the event my card gets messed up I can just backup my saves and wipe the card clean or delete the game versus downloading the game from the shop again.

IDK left the shops 2 years ago and never looked back.

The shops are good for rookies just getting started out but you need to actually backup the NSP/NSZ/ and XCI and store them with the DLC on an external HDD and leave the shops alone.

There is always at least one up and personally I just host my own shop for myself and friends. Never goes down then and always has the games we want on it.

Just remember that one day Nintendo may shut everything down for good. That's why I grab all my files immediately because you never know what the future holds. I have 1TB of switch games on my external HDD. But if you know how to set up your own shop that's good.

I just rather have my files on hand because I don't use internet on my CFW switch.
