Are the mirrors answering
This page tracks the three active addresses that point at the same storefront. Each entry shows its current connectivity so you can pick a working path quickly instead of guessing which one is still up.

A mirror counts as up when it finishes a full Tor handshake and the initial load queue appears, which proves the connection survives the network's routing delays. If that sequence completes, data flows normally after. The indicator confirms active service rather than just a listening socket that might still fail during delivery.
Slow versus completely offline
Slow means the circuits take longer than usual but eventually connect. Down means no response within several minutes despite repeated attempts. The difference matters, because a slow path still delivers a purchase while a down route only wastes your time. Checking status first avoids the frustration of forcing a broken route to work.
Switching when one dies
Pick a different address from the list above right away. All three lead to the identical inventory and the same account balances, so nothing is lost by switching. One mirror dying happens regularly because of hosting issues or temporary censorship. Treat it as routine maintenance rather than a store closure until several mirrors stay quiet at the same time for days.
