Clienthold means - This status code tells domain's registry to not activate your domain in the DNS and as a consequence, it will not resolve. It is an uncommon status that is usually enacted during legal disputes, non-payment, or when your domain is subject to deletion.

2-
clientTransferProhibited means - This status code tells your domain's registry to reject requests to transfer the domain from your current registrar to another.

3-
clientUpdateProhibited means - This status code tells your domain's registry to reject requests to update the domain.

Its possible that copyright holders put the pressure on registrar and because of the pressure registrar shut down the domain name Extratorrent. Cc
But because of many backup sites like extra.to the site is working.
