ipfs gateway issues affecting metamask

There have been several reports of problems with using the P2P file sharing service, BitTorrent, with the cryptocurrency wallets, Metamask and Parity.

These problems can include unexpected network errors when downloading files from BitTorrent, as well as the inability to access or use Metamask or Parity wallets.

BitTorrent has issued a statement saying that it is working to address these issues.

Metamask and Parity are both blockchain-based wallets, which allow users to store and use cryptocurrencies.

Parity has stated that it is working to address the issue, but there is no indication yet as to when this will be done.

I can't access my MetaMask account because the IPFS gateway is down, and I don't have any other way to access my Ethereum.
