[Lad491]

Working ok again now Matt

[JonathonAG]

Yip, everything is okay at my end. Thanks Matt

[Easilyconfused]

Well the new servers seem to be working well from here. Stonkingly fast downloads from the library and the forums seem to be zipping along.

Good one Matt

[charlie99]

All working fine for me. The downloads are about twice as fast as well.

The CD Ordering link is giving me a server generated error message

http://www.uktrainsim.com/ordercd.php


Also the alternative login link if you get the login boxes again after signing in (it has a port number in the URL) isn't working.

[Easilyconfused]

When I tried a dummy order on the CD ordering and hit the pay by cheque button I quote this

Excellent stuff, Matt! Works brilliantly for me, page loading is instant and downloads are in the region of 600-700kb/s where I'm sitting.

Working on the transport exception now...

Thanks for the reports guys, keep 'em coming.

Is the free download server speed supposed to be the old speed of 2kb/s?

[Acorncomputer]

Hi All

I have got the new super speed connection OK!

Brain a bit frazzled with the speed though.

[Lad491]

Matt - Im on the new server ok, but when i log in on the home page I get an update page saying the server will be down until the 8th September. A leftover from a previous upgrade i think

It takes me here :

[Acorncomputer]

The Atomic Album seems inaccessible. Login OK, but no pictures do not appear when clicked on.

Edit - It is OK now.

[Easilyconfused]

Is the free download server speed supposed to be the old speed of 2kb/s?

It would appear that Matt currently has it configured so there can be 10 concurrent downloads for non-premium but they are all limited to 2kb/s

[NeutronIC]

It's going to take a bit of time for all the DNS changes to propogate so there's going to be a bit of wierdness i'm afraid.

Laurie - what you were seeing is that your system was taking you to the OLD server for the main site, which was then redirecting you to the NEW server's "down" page, which does indeed say 8th september

I'll put another page on there to say that the system will be back shortly, mean time it's just a matter of waiting i'm afraid!

I've managed to get forums on my home desktop but not the main site - on my work laptop (at work) I get the main site, but not the forums hehe

I haven't rebooted my Cable modem yet though, wifey's busy on the net tonight and i might not be popular (hmm... no difference there then ).

CD ordering should be working a bit more healthily now.

NON-Premium downloads should be no different, 20kb/s split over 10 concurrent downloads (that's what it was before, wasn't it?) - sorry folks but moving the server to the UK for fast access has meant costs per terabyte have gone UP. Thankfully going from three servers to one and reducing the overall bandwidth i'm paying for has meant that the overall cost has gone down a bit but with subscriptions on the decline again there's not much chance of the free bandwidth improving. Pay £3 and enjoy the speed demon access you can now get

Matt.

Can you also let me know if you start getting email forum posting announcements as the evening goes on?

Thanks
Matt.
