What happened to www.bitsavers.org?
It has been down for at least the past 24 hours.
I can still ping the website, but http requests time out.
The bitsaver domain name here in Australia resolves to 208.77.18.144.
Thanks

You may have been hit by an auto-ban. There's been a lot of unusual rsync
activity the last couple days and we're trying to block some troublesome IP
nets.
Email me directly with your IP info.

Hmmm - I just tried a VPN into the US and the bitsavers website is up and
running. The IP address is the same, so it is not a DNS issue.
Al, is Bitsavers blocking some HTTP access from Australia?
Thanks

Same for me, I'm also in Oz and bitsavers.org isn't accessible at the moment.
I tried the IP address from nslookup (same as Tom) and got no result either.
Tracert reports through to nocarrier.net (same IP as bitsavers) though.

It is all good now. Last night I tried to look for some PDP-11 documents
and it didn't work. As it didn't work today I thought I better report the
problem.
Thank you Jason for unblocking us down under. :-)
Best regards
