The classiccmp
server is broken.
Or something is doing horrible things to throttle bandwidth at his new provider.
I've seen stalls for a minute on ftp wgets (which is how I sync bitsavers),
lots of random 503's on web accesses, and random POP login failures.
When I access either my site or the mailing list, through the web I get:
------
Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or
capacity problems. Please try again later.
Apache/2.2.23 (FreeBSD) PHP/5.3.18 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.2.23 OpenSSL/0.9.8x DAV/2
Server at
www.classiccmp.org Port 80
------
This appears to be a 503 originating at this server.
When I access my site, I see individual 503 errors on many (sometimes most) of the photo
link accesses.
I would guess that the wgets fails becase it get s a 503 error, probably not knowing what
it means, only that
the accessed failed - and retries until it gets through which is what is taking a minite -
(I've sat hear reclicking
links for nearly a minite trying to open a message in the archive).
To me it looks like a server problem.
