RW Site

by Brian Smith · in General Discussion · 04/23/2003 (9:44 pm) · 3 replies

It seems that 9 out of 10 times that I try to access the site I'm always getting a 503 error (server at capacity or down for maintenance). I'm having a lot of trouble getting info/downloads because of this. This has been the status quo for months seemingly.

Is there a mirror?

Thanks,
Brian

That reminds me...does the RW site need a different host? I can probably work something free out if you are interested. No bandwidth limitations =)

No one seems to know what's wrong with the site, although it's my and others' guess that there's been a capacity limit breeched or something. There really isn't that much in the FTP, but I'm not certain what our limitations are. Logan F. may have more info on it, but who knows?

Recently, RW support has been dwindling thanks to side projects and busy time outside of RW, so things like this take some indefinite time.

There seems to be some intermitent server problem, which is why the HTTP connection is sometimes giving out a 503 error. I have contacted the RWG host ISP and they should have it fixed in 24 hours.

Thanks for the offer of hosting Matt, but we are going to stick with the provider that we use now. Up until now they have been incredibly fast and reliable and I don't see that changing in the near future after this server problem is fixed.
