Is PG borked?

Worldwalker · 03-15-2011, 03:54 PM

It hasn't loaded for me since last night -- DNS resolves okay, but I don't seem to be getting any response from the server. Given my occasionally flaky Internet connection, I'm not sure if it's them or me.

Looks borked to me; I went looking for a book this morning and just get an endless "loading" message.

Downforeveryoneorjustme says that Gutenberg is down.

I didn't know about downforeveryoneorjustme -- I'm so bookmarking that.

It's reporting that http://www.gutenberg.net is up now ... it's just me. But the link conveniently provided goes to continuing downness. I'm hoping this means it's on its way back up and my little backwater of the Net is just taking a while. It's either that, or the Internet hates me. Given the day I've had, I could go either way with this.

Worldwalker - Isn't it gutenberg.org? Loads here.

It's several things -- they've been collecting domain names for a while. I have the .net one on my links page ... have had for years.

Gutenberg.org loads just fine in the upper left corner.

the .net site is a blank page for me right not but the .org URL resolves OK for me at this microsecond.

From the site:

Notice of service outage (March 15)

Project Gutenberg is moving its servers to a new datacenter. Our web services may not be available or not work properly. We expect to be back in 24-48 hours.

Thank you Gwen. I don't remember that being there yesterday, and of course outages make reading Web notices difficult.
