Post by: voidmain on 1 December 2002, 03:11: I noticed it was down last night. I hope they didn't shut down because it's my favorite distribution grabber. I get a "connection refused" message though which indicates to me that the system is up, they are just refusing access at the moment.

Your link will never work. It has a period at the end (http://tongue.gif)

The site is down though...

Site name or availability problem for linuxiso.org

We could not get any results for your selected site. There can be a several reasons for this:

* The host name you have selected is not valid, perhaps it was mistyped.
* We could not contact it, and we do not have any cached information for it. This can be because there is no server running on that site yet, or because it is a new site and the DNS has not yet propagated to Netcraft. It can be also be because of a temporary routing problem from Netcraft to the site.

Also, why have they been down two days now?

No you fools. It said on the front page that they were moving colo's very soon (for cost reasons).

Post by: voidmain on 3 December 2002, 00:36: That shouldn't be cause for any down time. This isn't the first time they've vanished for days at a time. I just hope they come back up.

Who cares? Sites go down, shit happens.

Post by: voidmain on 4 December 2002, 01:28: Yeah, I think linuxiso.org is a one man operation and it is very possible that something like a power outage could have been the issue. Or it could have been a not so well thought out transfer to a new colo. But we will likely never know and in the end it really doesn't matter as Tux said.
