BakaBT started answering pings again this afternoon, and it responds to HTTP requests now. But all we get it this:

Sooo... recap.. hardware failed.. currently in the progress of reinstalling everything and taking this chance to upgrade the architecture..
This can take a bit, hopefully wednesday Friday everything is back online otherwise later this week.

Their twitter feed has had a lot of traffic, but it amounts to the same thing. They're going to have to recover from backups, which probably isn't all that much of a disaster.

The reason it's taking so long is that the hardware originally failed, and the hosting company repaired it, and then it died again, and this time it's taking longer. One would hope they're using top quality parts this time instead of bargain parts from Nightwing Computer Components Ltd.
