Is Project Gutenberg site down?

#1 by Lewis Berneu

I've been trying to get onto gutenberg.org for some time now, without success. Anyone else had the same problem?

I use the site a lot (and am making a small monthly contribution to its upkeep). I hope there's nothing seriously wrong.

I can kind of reach it. It's very slow and doesn't properly load. However, all the content seem to still be there and isitdownrightnow.com says it can reach the site. Oftentimes that means something like a server/hosting issue so it's likely just temporary.

You use the Wayback Machine to use the site whilst it's down.

Ah - it seems to be back now. Thanks for the replies. There's this explanation on the site itself, FYI:

Quote:Website slowdowns. The website has been slow and sometimes unresponsive since Friday January 12. We are working with iBiblio, our hosting provider, to remedy the situation. Problems might persist throughout the weekend. Apologies for this disruption.
