Problems with AfterDawn.com servers

Written by Jari Ketola @ 21 Jun 2005 7:54 User comments (4)

We have had severe problems with some of the AfterDawn.com servers during the last couple of days and as a result they need to be taken offline for re-installation. We are trying to minimize the inconvenience caused by the downtime by re-allocating services.

In addition to slower response times on the forums and main site, software and MP3 (MP3Lizard.com) downloads may be unavailable for a period of time.

We will keep you updated.

Thank you for your patience and sorry about the inconvenience caused.

Regards,
Jari Ketola
CTO, AfterDawn.com

Software failure. So to speak. Actually re-installing the servers isn't that huge a task. Everything is pretty much scripted and replicated. Of course it takes manual labour, but it's just a matter of hours getting a server online and serving from (virtually) scratch. We don't maintain the servers ourselves, so using a third party image software isn't really practical, or even possible. Please report to this (comment) thread if you experience problems using any of our sites (AfterDawn.com, Filepedia.com etc.). MP3Lizard.com's song downloads are expected to go down for a while tomorrow. Due to the huge amount of data on the service it will take a while to bring it back online.

	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
