The past weeks site problems
Here's an update regarding the last weeks site problems. We had a pretty critical hardware failure on saturday evening last weekend, which resulted in one of our central database servers needing a replacement. Given it was the weekend, this took a bit longer then necessary and as a result most of sunday evening the whole website was offline.
The new hardware is now in place and we've also rewritten a lot of the backend code handling downloads, load balancing, caching of pages etc. We are very sorry for all this trouble you've experienced and once we are confident the site is fully operational again, we will grant all subscribers extra days to make up for the downtime. Should there be hickups during the weekend ahead, rest assured we will do our best to keep them at a minimum as we finetune the new setup.
Thank you for your understanding and patience!
