what happened to gnome-look

[hhhhhx]

for some reason i cant get on to gnome-look.org, or kde-look. i've been getting a netowrk timeout error. so is it me or the server?

[toupeiro]

It wouldn't surprise me if certain connectivity to or from various things are flaky. some huge international underwater fibers were cut by a ship anchor and its wreaked havoc in europe, africa and also in mid-east connectivity. If you route through there, you may still be toast.

[hhhhhx]

no i dont live there, but did that actually happen?

[erfahren]

its down here too

[rahulthewall3000]

Same here, can not access gnome-look and kde-look.

[tgrisier]

Can't connect either. Glad to see it isn't just me.

[Ebuntor]

Same thing happened last week, it was down for about 12 hours and then it was back up again.
I wouldn't worry, not the first time. :)

[itsjustarumour]

Well, thats been about 10 hours so far..... and counting! :-D

Seriously, I just downloaded the new Screenlets 0.12 from http://www.mediafire.com/?6nleuzmgegd and was dying to download a bunch of extra screenlets on my day off - BAH! :lolflag:

Lol, well those 12 hours were just an estimate though, give or take a few hours. :)

It takes quite some time to get those *-look back on the interweb.

try art.gnome.org or art4linux.org

[bonzodog]

Yeah, xfce-look.org is down for me as well.
It traceroutes ok, and is responding to pings, so I would guess the server is offline.

[fedex1993]

yeah mine is down to box-look and gnome-look almost every look is down :( i was trying to look for some new themes and couldnt find it

[sistoviejo]

It seems that the server is online but the httpd service is down...
I was able to ping the server.

at a glance the -look websites always looked abit strung together, something probably snapped, hope its back up soon.

I wouldn't be surprised if they got hacked tho tbh. with any luck they will learn from it and rebuild a more secure site.

Yeah, that seems like the exact same problem as last week. Strange it's taking so much longer.

[~LoKe]

OpenDesktop is currently offline. They're all down (xfce, kde, gnome, etc). IT has been at least 24hours and it's not a problem on your end.

[nagla]

Its Up Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah!!!!!!!

Edit: buts its running very slow:(

[itsjustarumour]

YAY oh YAY!!! :-D

KDE-Look back too, but all very slow...

[SunnyRabbiera]

yeh its very sluggish

[Kernel Sanders]

Microsoft sued them because they enabled Linux based OS's to look infinitely better than Vista ;)

[itsjustarumour]

Well, it didn't last long... I managed to download two new Screenlets and then it was down again!

Pom pom pom..... dunno what else to do with my day! :lolflag:

[SunnyRabbiera]

the servers must be overloaded or something, they need maintenance most likely.

[Superkoop]

Gnome-look is back up! ^_^
\\:D/

[spiritfox]

they're down again...since last night at least. anyone know why?

[nowshining]

they seem to be down yet again - they've been coming and going and this has been happening since february :(

[aktiwers]

I cant connect either :(

[hellion0]

It's been down since about when I woke up. Can't get to it with a browser, nor does it respond to pings.

[nowshining]

hmmm i was going to re-download the ataris splash but like i thought - i had it saved and just found it. :)

[Jim!]

Yeah It's down for me to, has been since yesterday.....

[FuturePilot]

Yeah, it's been down for a couple of days now. :(

[keiichidono]

I can understand they are under some huge server stress but at least get some competent servers to handle it. I hope they're just down for maintenance or something.

[nowshining]

I wonder if they are getting DDosed or Dosed, etc.. ie: not by too much customers that want to enjoy the site, but hate it, etc..

I hope not.

[renzokuken]

i can access it, seems to be running quite smoothly now



As you noticed the websites are very slow at the moment. We even had a complete server crash yesterday.
Sorry for the problems.
The reason is that our traffic is growing fast and our main server has a constant load of over 30. We really need a hardware upgrade.

I just ordered an additional server with 8 cores and 16GB RAM. I hope this will be enough for a few month :-)
