Something seems to be wrong with the Downloads server

    I don't think anyone besides me is getting this problem, at this moment.

    Anyway, since yesterday I can't seem to get any Download going.

    I know there's several maintenance work currently being done on the server so I just ignored it. But just now I freshly logged in to find that I can't still get any downloads going. I thought others may have experienced this since the past 24 hours but it seems there's none besides myself.

    When I perform any download the browser just sends me to the page saying this error:

    Service Temporarily Unavailable

    The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8b Server at www2.romulation.net Port 80

    I'm very well familiar with this page as this is what you get when there's a downtime, but there seems to be none at the moment. So what could be wrong?

    Now that's strange, I'm not using a shared internet connection or Wi Fi...

    Wait uh loony is my internet connection a kind of Wi Fi connection? As I told you guys before, this internet connection is based on cell phone technology. Also, I tried going elsewhere to test if this problem is an isolated case here on RomUlation. I went to RHDN & tested if I can download something there with no problems & I can. Then I committed a crime against RomUlation, I went to several other ROMs sites I knew to test downloading again & I can there too.

    RomU has had several issues like this one lately. I have had it too. :D It now works fine. I just restarted my computer.

    Probably has to do with the server module to limit the speed. We'll move to another entirely different http program so hopefully that will fix it.

    I was kinda thinking that maybe it has something to do with the port number my connection has left open for use with downloads, that port 80 bit on the error message. But if that's the case wouldn't it affect every other place I try downloading as well?

    It most likely has nothing to do with you.
