2 silly, unreasonable and somewhat simple-minded geeks


Yesterday around 5:30 - 6:00 p.m., 2 unreasonable simple-minded geeks running after their e-penis had the stupid idea at the same time of leeching several thousand torrents each at the same time. The tracker part itself was not too much impacted, the server peaked at 22% before dropping back down very quickly to normal. Alas, the 2 proxies that cost us/you dearly, whose wings we had reduced at the end of the year to save money on the 2023 budget and placed upstream in front of this server, liked the thing less.
The 1st fell directly (the most "powerful" of the 2) and the 2nd less powerful can't take over for everything else. It ensures that the site and the irc remain online, there are times of lag but which remains acceptable, and new uploads from members and upload bots continue to flow even if unfortunately no one can dl for the instant.

Inevitably, damn Murphy's Law obliges, it happens the week or the admin (the only person who can restart cough) is on a business trip, so we'll have to wait for his return.

With our apologies for the inconvenience caused,
